Wrestling Isn't Wrestling

"Wrestling Isn't Wrestling" is a documentary that delves into the world of professional wrestling, challenging the common perception that it's "fake." Filmmaker Max Landis embarks on a journey to defend wrestling as a legitimate form of fiction, using the story of his favorite wrestler, Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, as a prime example. From Triple H's early days as the wealthy and snobbish "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" to his reinvention as a powerful corporate strongman, Landis explores the evolution of Triple H's in-ring persona and argues that all of his various gimmicks are different facets of the same deeply insecure character. The film culminates with Triple H's ascension to COO of the WWE, suggesting that he sought power behind the scenes because he could never achieve the glory he truly desired in the ring. "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling" is a thought-provoking examination of the world of professional wrestling, offering a fresh perspective on a sport often dismissed as fake.
