Summary: In the nineties, World Championship Wrestling, owned by Ted Turner, battled with the World Wrestling Federation for the pro wrestling market. Although the two companies went head-to-head for many years, WCW eventually folded. This documentary tells the story of the WCW, and offers footage from many of the most beloved grapplers who fought for it including Ric Flair, Dussty Rhodes, and Goldberg. Interviews with behind-the-scenes people like the Crockett brothers make it clear why the once powerful institution dissolved. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
