AVAILABLE FROM ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR DWAYNE WALKER & EVAN GINZBURG- ASSOCIATE
PRODUCER OF THE WRESTLER
Check out clip
here
Wrestling Then and Now- The Movie was a fantastic documentary and the first
of its kind coming from and focusing on the granddaddy of nostalgic monthly
publications. Evan Ginzburg has worked hard for well over twenty years,
involving all the many colorful characters from pro wrestling as well as the
arts like jazz, new world beat, and most forms of music. Killer Kowalski and
the late Tiger Khan and so many have been a part of WT&Now and are now
further immortalized on film. It's a wonderful piece of history and art and
I can't wait to re-watch it all over again!
Mike Lano, radio host and wrestling writer/photographer/historian from 1966
to current
“Wrestling- Then & Now- The Movie is a must see for both die hard fans as
well as casual fans of the sport.”
– Brett Schwan www.wrestlingclothesline.com
"An Interesting, Entertaining and Informative Documentary. Evan Ginzburg
intelligently shows perspectives from Pro Wrestling's past performers,
present performers, future performers as well as their fans. You don't have
to be a wrestling fan to enjoy this video, it's that good!"
-"Your RoleModel" Ric Lieb
(Indy Wrestler & Co-Host for Smart Mark Radio)
“Wrestling Then And Now is a MUST for any wrestling fan. It was great to see
my old deceased friends, Killer Kowalski and Tiger Khan. It was also great
to see Evan Ginsburg, Don Arnold and Jeff Archer!”
-Lanny ‘The Genius’ Poffo
WWF (now WWE) Wrestler
“I got it very soon after it was released.....EXCELLENT....you covered it
all very well.
My favorite stars in it... Author Jeff Archer, Bryan Walsh, Evan Ginzburg
and Ratty.”
-Geoff Brown Wrestling Historian (Australia)

It was seven years in the making.
But it’s finally here.
Wrestling- Then & Now- The Movie is a documentary from noted underground
film director Dwayne Walker and the Associate Producer of The Wrestler, Evan
Ginzburg.
Go on the road with Evan as he talks to the greats of the sport in a film
that has something for everyone.
If you’re a fan of “old school”- who better than the late, great Killer
Kowalski, Nikolai Volkoff, and Don “Dr. Death” Arnold to show you the ropes
as they talk about not only wrestling but their philosophies on life and the
extraordinary experiences they’ve had travelling the world?
And if you’re a fan of today’s wrestling, see a young, outspoken Homicide,
hardcore icon Lowlife Louis Ramos and indie stars from coast to coast like
The Mambo King talk about all aspects of the sport: injuries, “the road”,
the women’s division, overzealous fans, the ever-present “paying dues,” and
much, much more.
Plus one of the casualties of the wrestling game, Tiger Khan, talks about
the path he was on- filmed just a few years before his untimely passing at
age 33.
It’s a film that takes you deep inside the pro wrestling world- and
particularly the real East Coast indie scene.
And for you fans of women’s wrestling, you don’t want to miss the clips of
ultra stiff body builder, Kasie Kavanaugh, in her ring debut with former WWE
worker Bryan Walsh. This is something truly different.

friendships he made to the dangers and humiliations he faced, these gritty
street tales will keep readers enthralled. With stories ranging from
nostalgic to heart-rending, he pulls no punches as he looks back at a Brooklyn
that is now lost forever.
“We read several tales on the air and they’re funny,
poignant and most certainly memorable,” stated New York DJ Fred Geobold, of 50,000 watt WBAI-FM’s Light Show in New
York City. Read
additional reviews here.
Cultural icons such as Bruce Lee, Pam Grier, James Brown, Fred
Williamson, Marvin Gaye, pro wrestling champion Bruno Sammartino
and many other heroes of the era add magical memories that will transport
readers back to this bygone time.
