Great interview, I had no knowledge of the story but it's such an obviously compelling story. Also, completely refreshing that they agreed not to fuck over Kerr and he agreed to not fuck them over and it worked out. What a concept!
The Smashing Machine means so much to me. I love revisiting it. It saddens me that we need a fictionalized version. And do we really need The Rock in this? If you need him in it, let him play Ron H20 Waterman. I was fortunate enough to be living in Japan for a couple of years around when Pride was at its peak - It was on the front page of the biggest newspapers at the time, which is nuts. Saw Wanderlei, Cro-Cop, Fedor, Rampage and all the rest live a few times in Saitama and Osaka.
what was I talking about? its time to take my pills now. where's Bobby? he said hed fix my ipud. hello?

That GQ piece was a good read. The Smashing Machine doc came along at the perfect time in my young MMA fandom.
