If u wanna get ur ass fit and need inspiration to do so watch this film. Its heartbreaking, it's beautiful and it's a very important story for anyone who suffers with depression and or addiction. Watching jake not been able to do basic movements to Ben in a ring again within a year is by no means a small feat. I use DDP Yoga now and my life is forever changed

I knew I would enjoy the movie as I am a life long fan of pro wrestling. Grew up watching both Jake and Scott. It was sad to see what had happened to both over the years. But that being said I think anyone who has known someone with addictions or a troubled past could also enjoy this movie. It is inspirational to know that no matter what if you put the work in you can be successful. I have had the opportunity to meet Jake and DDP and I made sure to thank them both. Especially Jake for accepting the help.

I've been a pro wrestling fan since I was in the 4th grade and there's always been a huge interest for me in the psychology behind Jake The Snake Roberts' promos & matches and like others have said "his eyes told a story". When Beyond The Mat came out I was upset that Jake was pictured that way and I've always tried to keep up with what he was doing, hoping things would change for the better for him. Well this documentary and DDP is just what the Dr. ordered, that's why I watched it as soon as it released.
