Timeline: The History of WWE – 1988 – As Told By Hacksaw Duggan

About This Movie

So, we’ve got "Timeline: The History of WWE – 1988 – As Told By Hacksaw Duggan" from 2010, which is a neat little documentary capturing that transitional period in wrestling. The atmosphere feels very much like a retrospective, with Hacksaw Duggan providing a personal touch to the storytelling, almost reminiscing about the chaos of the late '80s. You really get a sense of the tension with Ted Turner’s WCW acquisition looming over everything, and the pacing is steady, allowing the viewer to soak in the details. The practical effects are minimal, but it really doesn’t need them; it’s all about the narratives of the wrestlers and the drama they faced. Duggan's performance is honest, and you can't help but appreciate the history unfolding before your eyes.

This documentary is somewhat niche but has drawn a fair amount of interest among collectors, especially those focused on wrestling history. It was released on DVD, but finding a copy can be a bit tricky as it didn't have a massive print run. That scarcity, along with Duggan’s personal narrative, makes it a notable piece for anyone wanting to track the evolution of WWE during that period.
