Various News: BBC One Airing Documentary on Kimberly ‘Viper’ Benson Tonight, New 350 Days Trailer

– BBC ONE will be airing Fight Like A Girl, a documentary looking at Scotland’s Kimberly “Viper” Benson, who has been one of the top talents from Europe over the last several years tonight. Benson worked as Piper Niven in the WWE’s Mae Young Classic…

Kimberly Benson is Viper, one of Scotland’s top female wrestlers. As part of BBC1’s Our Lives, we’re with Kim in Glasgow and in Japan as she fights in some of the most important matches of her career. As women’s wrestling steps into the mainstream, it’s a pivotal moment in Kim’s career. We follow Kim into this intriguing and sometimes dangerous world at home and abroad, as she takes us behind the scenes of a rarely seen, often misunderstood, yet utterly fascinating world. We are with Kim as she competes in a series of high-pressure matches that could have a huge impact on her future career. We are ringside as she fights men twice her size in a rare match that puts male and female wrestlers in the one ring to fight it out. We see her battle for a Scottish championship, and ultimately she puts everything on the line for a chance at her first ever world champion title. We travel with her to Japan to see her take part in this epic match. Can Kim survive the hectic pace of training, travelling and fighting? Can she do all this while balancing working for a living and some form of family life? On top of all that, there’s the ever-present threat of injury. While the outcomes of wrestling bouts are scripted, there is nothing fake about the physical danger these women constantly put themselves in. How far can Kim’s talent, personality, skill and bravery take her in the world of pro wrestling, and what does it cost her?

– The trailer for 350 Days has been released in advance of its theatrical debut this July through Fathom events.

Starring Bret Hart and Superstar Billy Graham, the documentary will examine a behind-the-scenes look at the grueling life they led on the road and the effect that lifestyle had on their marriages, family, physical and mental health. The film will also feature WWE Hall of Famers Featuring Greg Valentine, Tito Santana, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Orndorff, Abdullah The Butcher, Wendi Richter, and, in what may be their final ever interviews, George Steele and Jimmy Snuka as well Bill Eadie, Lanny Poffo, Stan Hansen, Angelo Mosca, Lex Luger, and in what are likely their final interviews before their passing Ox Baker, The Wolfman, “Pretty Boy” Larry Sharpe, Don Fargo, and Angelo Savoldi.
