fastlane200dvd Outside the Rope - Life in the Fast Lane
Editor Review:

What is it like to be a professional wrestler once the fans leave the arena and you step OUTSIDE THE ROPES?

Professional wrestling can be looked in many different ways. In one regard, it is an old-school boy's club full of incredible athletes performing death defying stunts and maneuvers. Many see it as a traveling circus with men who go from town to town performing in front of thousands every night. Whatever your personal take on wrestling is, the sport has created some of the most charismatic and interesting people in entertainment.

Often on the road nearly 300 days a year, wrestlers have seen the world in a way very few people have. And, sometimes, being in the ring for 20 minutes doesn't come close to equaling the experience of traveling 400 miles to get there.??

Life In The Fast Lane brings together dozens of the biggest names in professional wrestling each with their own take on life inside the most grueling business on the planet and the travels which have shaped their lives and outlook on the industry. Packed with incredible stories and unbelievable anecdotes from "Hot Rod" Rowdy Roddy Piper going to jail, to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels being given his walking papers, these are candid moments never before captured for the public to witness.

PLUS: In addition to the main feature tackling what it is like on the road in the major leagues of wrestling, Life In The Fast Lane grants viewers an exclusive backstage pass to life inside an independent wrestling federation’s locker room to see what it is like for those just starting their journey on the road they hope will lead to becoming a wrestling star.

This SPECIAL EDITION DVD also features OVER AN HOUR of BONUS FEATURES including exclusive "Cutting Room Floor" interviews with Marty Jannety, Bobby Heenan, Sid Vicious,, Vince Russo, Arn Anderson, Taz, Abdullah The Butcher, Jimmy Hart, Rey Mysterio Jr., a Piper’s Pit interview segment live from Texas with guest Kevin Von Erich, and main event wrestling action featuring Jake Roberts vs. The Sandman, Eddy Guerrero vs. Low-Ki, and Super Crazy vs. Tajiri in his final match in the United States.
