Long Synopsis:
What would the world be like if men greeted each other with wrestling holds? Did you ever fear getting an erection while wrestling? Just a few of the many frank questions award-winning filmmaker, Victor Rook, asks when trying to find out why wrestling has become so underappreciated in the U.S.

But the documentary digs deeper, discussing how men are expected to act and react in an increasingly touchphobic and homophobic society.

Pro, amateur, and submission wrestling are examined in-depth--along with underground wrestling--where men use the internet to find other men to wrestle.
