Documentary month Day 12 film 12 Slam School

Slam School
2002
BCI DVD

This DVD was made in conjunction with the California based Empire Wrestling Federation. In it we have two guys,one of whom was the original Black Ranger on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers,who go to learn how to become pro wrestlers.

The school is run by Jesse Hernandez. Who is better known as a referee in WWF and a jobber in AWA. Him and one of the wrestlers from the EWF take the two guys and step by step teach them some of the basic wrestling moves. Then we get to see each guy attempt to do these moves.

Sadly this is a pretty boring documentary. The moves they teach are mainly things that anyone  who has watched pro wrestling for more than a few years should already know how to do. Neither Jesse or the other trainer have much charisma. I really have no idea who the target audience for this documentary is. Wrestling fans would be bored to tear with in the first 10 minutes. The only thing that kind of makes it stand out is it does have the original Black Power Ranger in it. Slam School gets a F.
