Team Foxcatcher, the documentary, illustrated the demise of the international wrestling power house, Foxcatcher farm. Integrating testimonials, media footage, photographs, and memoirs austerely depicted one of wrestling's worst moments. John Du Pont's murder of international wrestling champion Dave Shultz shocked the sport's world immediately before the 1996 summer olympics. Dave's wife and family appeared emotionally paralyzed while John's state visibly deteriorated from enthusiastic to resentful. The reality was that John could not imitate the athletes whom he nurtured nor could he accept their victories as his own. Unraveling the mystery behind the superficially staid Foxcatcher Team was an eye opening look at private sports' enterprise.
