Hi, I am looking to buy a serious sporting DVD documentary (UK region) on professional wrestling as a Christmas present for my grandad - he's a serious fan of the sport - I know nothing about wrestling and don't know which ones are good or lousy - please help! (no recommendations for 'gay interest' or women's mud wrestling please - Ebay is full of them!)

"Beyond The Mat" (1999) is a great place to start. Ron Howard directed it.....he interviews several big-name stars from the past to get their perspectives on the sport. Not sure if it has been released for DVD yet, though. You might want to check that out.
