In my daily quest to turn the world into a wrestling world, and show it in the documentary, I talk to and meet lots of guys at the local bars, turning most every conversation into a wrestling conversation. I've always wanted to see how open guys are once uninhibited with a few beers. And no, these are not gay bars, just plain old redneck sports bars.
The point is guys love talking about wrestling, regardless of sexuality, and they love doing it if given the opportunity. Case in point, this past weekend I pulled this military guy and his buddy out of the bar and had them wrestle for the film after a good interview. I told the military guy to put his friend in a full nelson, and his buddy egged him on with "work it with some UMPH man!" Final last words, the big military guy held his friend to the ground for like two minutes as I continued interviewing them. It was great, and they talked about the rush it gave them to do it. I hope they continue to wrestle each other now that I've broken the barrior for them.
