Pretty good short documentary about Fit Finlay. The first half or so is about Finlay growing up and wrestling in Ireland, England, and Germany. The second half is about his family and his time in the US. The first half is solid, and presents a good picture of the Irish and British wrestling scenes, with interviews and history from guys I had never heard of. The second half is light on the wrestling and more on Finlay's personal journey, it's just ok. It would have been nice if they'd included more interviews with other wrestlers who wrestled against him in the World of Sport era (William/Steve Regal in particular), and shown more examples of his technical skill. All and all, worth a watch if you're a fan of the sport.
