A friend of mine that I went to vocational school with has basically a walk-on part in this, so I was able to see it soon after it was finished.

This film covers the same ground as pretty much every other piece thats' ever been conducted on backyard wrestling.

You get your standard shots of violence, and interviews with "wrestlers", which make them appear to be somewhat less than intelligent.

I am proud to say that from what I remember, the people from my area come across as the most sensible (I don't recall any light tubes or any other stupid stuff).

The best parts of this film are Rob Van Dam talking about the people's reaction to him when he first decided to become a wrestler, and "The Lizard"'s run to Tough Enough 2.

If you like watching people beat the living crap out of each other, you'll probably enjoy this.
