Teddy Hart documentary being developed by WWE & Blumhouse for Peacock
This story was corrected at 2:30 PM Eastern.
WWE and Blumhouse Media are working on a documentary about controversial wrestler Teddy Hart.
Dave Meltzer reported the news in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, originally reporting that Peacock was producing it without WWE’s cooperation which he later corrected.
The documentary is tentatively scheduled for release this December.
“One person who was interviewed said they were going in depth into Hart’s past and there was a lot of questions about bad ex-relationships,” he wrote.
Hart wrestled two matches in WWE, one in October 2002 and another in May 2005.
The 42-year-old born Edward Annis has had legal issues going back as far as 2014 when he was wanted on sexual assault charges brought up by two women that were later dropped.
He was arrested four times 2020 (three times in the first three months alone), the third coming after he was arrested in Virginia for strangulation resulting in bodily harm. In February that year, he was arrested for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance with intent to distribute and then was arrested several weeks later for violation of his house arrest.
In October 2020, he was arrested in Texas and charged with injuring a disabled person, evading arrest, and being in possession of a controlled substance. He was then arrested in February 2021 on the same charges, but in Virginia.
Hart hasn’t wrestled since a December 2020 indie show in Michigan.
