Documentary

Stand by for a behind-the-scenes journey through one of Australia's 
longest surviving and most loved subcultures; the sometimes crazy 
world of Australian pro-wrestling. Meet three contemporary gladiators 
and witness all the drama as they attempt to be crowned Australia's 
"King of the Heap". The players in Dimitri Ellerington's documentary 
are Mr Damage, The Ox and Bully the Brawler. The program not only 
follows their epic struggle with each other, it also gets behind the 
tough facade to reveal a world full of charm and humour. We meet 
the supportive partners, anxious parents and crazed fans. We 
discover the wrestler's secret training techniques and learn about the 
finer points of choosing the right costume.
