The documentary, part of ESPN's "Outside The Lines" series, took an in-depth look at the popularity of pro-wrestling while also bringing up negative points about both WCW and the WWF. Vince McMahon felt that this documentary (named Pro Wrestling's Hold on America, was nothing more than a hit piece; a presentation ordered by ABC television because WWF Raw is War was beating Monday Night Football in the television ratings. The documentary features interviews from both WCW and WWF talent including Chris Jericho, The Rock, Vince McMahon, Bret Hart, Mick Foley and Eric Bischoff. This video looks at the entire documentary. #WWF #WCW #nWo
