Bodyslam: The Making of a Pro Wrestler |
|
From October 2000 through May of 2001, Emmy Award-winning
Producer-Director Dennis Lofgren followed
Ultimate University/UPW through practice, through live shows and
through.....life. The result is "Bodyslam: The Making
of a Pro Wrestler," a compelling, behind-the-scenes
look at the world of independent pro wrestling.
Although the show includes literally dozens of UPW wrestlers and Ultimate University students, Lofgren, after a couple months of production, chose to focus on Christopher Daniels, Mikey Henderson, Jon Heidenreich and the late Drzan McBee.
At the time this gritty documentary was made, Chris was preparing for his shot at a contract with the then-still-functioning WCW, Big Jon was a few months into training and prepping for a try-out with WWF and Drzan, a beginner to the squared-circle, was wondering if she could balance motherhood with pro wrestling. In the tradition of Ultimate's previous feature on The Discovery Channel, "Bodyslam..." is as real as it gets and is sure to be talked about within the pro wrestling world for years to come.
