A struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach's chicanery comes back to haunt him when the teenage grandson of the client he has double-crossed comes into his life.

This was a fun movie with a lot of laughs but even more dramatic moments. It might be the only wrestling movie I've seen where all the wrestlers are not awesome musclebound powerful super warriors which gives the story a unique viewpoint. It's like the bad news bears of wrestling and even the main character who comes in and does well is a scrawny kid. But it's not even about the wrestling – this is a nobody's-perfect down-and-out movie about a kid who needs guidance in his life.
