Not a documentary.

[13Funbags · 1/10 · 14 October 2019]

This is a completely scripted movie with some old CZW clips. It might be interesting if you haven't seen those old matches, but if you hadn't you wouldn't even know this exists.

Intense, Mindblowing, Real Wrestling....a Crazy Ride

[jacobtillman · 9/10 · 10 May 2018]

I've never before heard of Death Match Pro Wrestling, but now I am hooked. This is some of the craziest, most intense stuff I've ever seen. While many may think this is absolute stupidity in the ring, I can't stop watching because I am so entertained and want to see what's going to happen next. While I would never go to such great lengths for entertainment, my hat is off to these guys for all the pain they endure. Balls of Steel! I'll definitely be spreading the word on this gem! Bravo Matt Burns you're one tough cookie!

Wildly Intense and straight up bold.

Wildly Intense and straight up bold. This documentary gets right in your face and doesn't hold anything back. First time I hear about wrestler Nick Mondo's life and I was quite taken by his story right away. Very intriguing. It's a must watch for sure.

A "Sick" Study of Pain

[priest-21-556907 · 9/10 · 10 August 2019]

An amazing wrestling documentary and a profound character study. It really delves into the career and mindset of Nick Mondo and why he did the ultra-violent stunts on the ring. The film also explores the consequences of his legacy and how he deals with that. It is a must watch !

Not just for wrestling fans!

[AKamp79 · 8/10 · 24 July 2018]

I've never been a big wrestling fan, but I enjoyed this! It really captured this weird, crazy, shocking world of death-match wrestling and why people step into the ring and do this. Even though I still can't understand why anyone would want to do this, I found it fascinating! But be warned - it is bloody and hard to watch at times.

Crazy fun

Is wrestling fixed? Who cares when it's this much fun? Madly involving, loud and proud, this indie doc pulls no punches. Fascinating. It's a must watch for any wrestling fan.
