Imagine working a full-time job, one that you just hate. But you have a dream. So in your free time you’re hitting up the gym whenever you can, travelling for hours on end to make independent shows for no money, sacrificing your family life and your body in the dreams of becoming a professional wrestlers. And then, when you get your first big break, you’re asked to play a giant penis. Would it have all been worth it?

Wrestlers are told that true talent can’t be held down, that eventually they’ll rise to the top.
