Gentleman's Choice
A documentary by Mickey Grant
|
This is the story of the rise and fall of a real-life, super hero wrestler, "Gentleman" Chris Adams. Chris was born in England, where he studied professional judo. He came to the United States in the early 80s, where he became a professional wrestler. He fought with many of the top wrestling leagues, and achieved notable fame and popularity for a while. His lifestyle, however, overtook him, and he came spiraling down. He died in 2001, awaiting trial for the overdose-death of his girlfriend one year before. Chris' ex-wife, Brandi died a few months later from an overdose, leaving a young daughter behind with no parents. Those who knew Chris remembered his charming, warm personality, a clever sense of humor, and a fabulous British accent. They also remembered his darker, violent side, which could come out at unpredictable moments. And not everyone was aware Chris had an addiction to alcohol and drugs, and liked to play with dangerous combinations of the two. |

This story is told by various people who's lives he touched, including one of his best friends, who ultimately shot and killed Chris in an act of self defense. We learn about addiction and the deadly grip it had on Chris.
Gentleman's Choice will be a dramatic story of drugs and murder and romance. It is also a story about making decisions, and the overwhelming power of addiction.
