A MOCKUMENTARY film featuring former WWE superstars was partly shot in Bendigo and will feature on NITV next Tuesday. The Tour: Blunder Down Under runs in the vein of Rob Reiner’s This is Spinal Tap and follows for wrestling stars on an ambitious yet disastrous tour around the country. It also features a few outrageous antics and recognisable locations. It stars American WWE legends Chris Masters, Gene Snitsky, Carlito Colon, Rob “The Ironman” Conway, Nick ‘Eugene’ Dinsmore and Ali Vaez alongside the Perth­-based indigenous wrestler Neil “NC Viper” Coyne. Much of the small crew and extras were from Bendigo and the production managed to erect a wrestling ring inside the New China restaurant for part of the shoot. As well as Bendigo, the low budget, independent movie was filmed in Melbourne and Ballarat. It is available now to download for $9.95 or for streaming for $2.95. For more visit http://thetour.vhx.tv
