Several months ago, in fact, almost a year ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Mickey Grant, the former director and innovator of World Class Championship Wrestling’s highly successful and influential television program.
Mr. Grant had appeared to promote his ,at the time, new film “Gentleman’s Choice: The Chris Adams Story“. For myself, and several other people, the film was rated as a “must see” and in my opinion, is probably one of the most honest professional wrestling movies ever made. Mr. Grant has made many documentary films since he left the world of professional wrestling and has achieved a great deal of success in that film genre, with multiple films being shown in festivals, theatres, and even television channels like Home Box Office (HBO), BBC2 and PBS. Mickey considers “Gentleman’s Choice” to be not only one of his best films, but also the most personal film he has ever made.
