This was fun for me remembering Adrian's pro wrestling appearance at my small Alabama high school. It's a good, probably well sensationalized, documentary of a somewhat successful English wrestler that became a very successful flamboyant American pro wrestler. Wrote and recorded his own entrance music and designed and made his ringwear with the help of Miss Linda. Recommended.

Half Nelson of a documentary
Admire the man and his extraordinary journey. Not a terrible documentary. My biggest critism, is there is not enough content or wrestling action. Too much repetition in the footage shown and about his feminised, camp persona. We got it the first time, didn't need to constantly repeat it, and the same info given by numerous other Wrestlers in the documentary. Not enough depth and too much padding out with the repetition.

Over-rated because of the emotion - not that good
This Doco has been over-rated IMO becausae of the subject matter. And he has been misinterpreted IMO as well. The quality is not that good - disjointed and not that clear about the story - too much glamour and not enough substance. Adrian was a trailblazer no doubrt, but he did all that as a marketing gimmick. And it worked so well because of who he was, and that he was a natural. But overall I think they could have done a much better if it wasnt so much about emotion and 'empowerment', and was more about the substance of the story. A recent film about Elton John also failed because of the same approach.
