Rarely do I fanboy out hard in an interview, but I've known Vampiro (aka Ian Hodgkinson) for a few years and the last time we spoke was during the final season of Lucha Underground. Vampiro has lived quite an interesting life from being a bodyguard for Milli Vanilli to becoming a Lucha Libre sensation in Mexico.
\nThe guy brought The Misfits to WCW for-crying-out-loud and is a consummate professional in and out of the ring.
\nVampiro teamed with first time documentarian, Michael Paszt on their new venture, Nail in the Coffin: The Fall & Rise of Vampiro. In the documentary we follow the career of Vampiro as an agent, a booker, a performer and most importantly, a father. We also learn about several of Vampiro's underlining health issues.
\nI spoke with both Vampiro and Paszt about this documentary that will bring in the wrestling fan base in, who will convert their friends into watching a film about a man who is a single father trying to overcome his past issues to raise his daughter, who he would challenge God for in keeping her safe.
\nNail in the Coffin: The Fall & Rise of Vampiro will be releasing in limited theaters on Friday, September 4, 2020 and will be available on major VOD/Digital platforms beginning Tuesday, September 8, 2020 and on Blu-ray with over an hour of bonus features on September 23, 2020.
