Ferguson: Did knowing Roger inform your filmmaking in any way?
Herzog: "It didn't inform my filmmaking, per se, but it widened my scope to look into corners that I hadn't taken seriously yet. And it's the same reason, I guess, that I tried to tell him to watch the Anna Nicole Smith show. And, by the way, also Wrestlemania. And he asked about Wrestlemania, and I said I do believe there's a crude form of new drama emerging that we do not understand yet. And it's not the fights that are so important. What is more important is the show around it. The owner of the franchise stepping into the ring with four blondes with breast implants. And his wife is being wheeled in a wheelchair, paralyzed and blind. And he makes fun of his wife! And the son of the owner of the franchise interfering and fighting his father in the ring. And we had an understanding over this."
