Plot summary

On a fateful evening in a Seattle dive bar, Josh Kuntz and a group of social outcasts put on a faux wrestling show to a crowd of enthusiastic bartenders. With crude language and satirical monikers, the guys “beat” the pulp out of each other in a clumsy ballet, earning cheers from the crowd. That evening, the Seattle Semi-Pro Wrestlers were born.

Look into the Seattle underground

A motley cast of characters drawn together by their love of wrestling, theatrics and entertaining the underground bar scene of Seattle. Then this crew is joined by a true outsider. When things don't go the way he had planned, he goes into business for himself and tries to shut down the good times. An interesting look into a cast of characters that you are not sure about at first but then you can emphasize with or despise in the end. How government overreach can stretch into our lives and the struggle to get back our freedom and happiness. If you like documentaries, interesting people, or just a good story... give it a watch.

Compelling and surprising film about a unique subject

Bodyslam's character development sneaks up on you. At first, I wasn't sure that I liked any of these characters, particularly Ronald McFondle - who says he's shy - but certainly isn't on stage. But the story just draws you in until you see them as real people that you actually care about and understand. This includes the vengeful "Banana" - Paul, who could have very easily been turned into a one-dimensional villain. Instead, I came to see him as someone who as proud to plot his own course in life, even though he doesn't allow anybody to get inside his defenses. Heck, I even found myself cheering for the Washington State legislature. The film's original score compliments the story line. It's an enjoyable, well developed depiction of the people inside of Seattle Semi Pro wrestling/performance scene.
