Should've been the Trent Acid Story


This documentary seemed pointless to me. It was fun to watch as a wrestling fan but really it didn't expose anything new to anybody and just kind of juxtaposed various professionals around the indy scene just to show what they have been up to and guys trying to break in, which isn't all that compelling.

However, they fell upon a great story with a compelling narrative. They had Trent Acid, a guy who was a top name in indy wrestling, but who couldn't break through because of his drug habits. They talked to him under house arrest. Once they found out he had been in jail, overdosed, and was trying to get clean, they should've delved deeper into his backstory, growing up, and drugs in wrestling. Obviously, they didn't know he was going to overdose in a year or two, but it would have still been interesting if he did survive as well. They could have just trashed most of the other footage and just interviewed his friends, fellow wrestlers, and promoters that knew him.

I totally concur. He was the only character that caught my attention and kept me watching this thing, besides Lacey Von Erich for the eye candy (which she mentioned herself). I was like when is this Scott Stapp look alike coming back on screen or should I just turn it off and watch Jeff Hardy.

Was that him with the little boy who kept asking him why he's got to leave?

EDIT:No, that's Rhett Titus.
