As a fan of professional wrestling (or sports entertainment, if you want to call it that), I am always fascinated listening to those who have played an integral part in the industry sharing their knowledge of the business with the world. They've got stories to tell from the road. They have an understanding of the power of what they do and how vested in it the fans can get. They also know the price they pay mentally and physically in order to chase a dream that is often the only thing they could ever see themselves doing.
I'll always give a look or listen to anything that treats that profession with respect and looks to explore a number of those aspects of what makes a pro wrestler who they are, both collectively and individually, and that's why I've taken great interest in NINE LEGENDS. Profiling the defining moments of talent like Bill Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Amy Dumas (better known as Lita), Bret Hart (Get well, man!!), Rob Van Dam and several others, NINE LEGENDS uses the framing device of a grandfather showing his wrestling fan grandson just how cool he used to be back in the day interviewing these wrestlers. It looks to be an intriguing way to spend some time if wrestling is up your alley as we all head out on the road to WrestleMania in early-April.
