“You know that wresting is fake, right?”

That’s the first thing any wrestling fan hears when sharing a passion for the mat wars with someone who just doesn’t get it.

In 2004, filmmaker Mark Ezovski set out to address this question once and for all.

In “The Absolute Truth About Pro Wrestling,” two-time WWE tag team champ and Hall of Famer “Luscious” Johnny Valiant, fetish wrestler, dominatrix and pro wrestler “Empress Asia” Sky Hosoya and “Professor” Larry Brisco—a Ph.D-wielding wrestler with an appreciation for the Old School—expose the business and show you just how real life in the squared circle can be.

"The Absolute Truth" has been called "a visual love poem to pro wrestling" and "the best documentary ever made about wrestling."

Watch for the sequel "The Absolute Truth, Part 2" coming soon!
