Wrestling Legend, Vampiro and Michael Paszt Discuss Their New Documentary 'Nail in the Coffin'

Published: Aug. 31, 2020, 5:34 p.m.

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.

\n

The guy brought The Misfits to WCW for-crying-out-loud and is a consummate professional in and out of the ring.

\n

Vampiro 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.

\n

I 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.

\n

Nail 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.
