WWG: Gurtmania – Tobacco Factory Theatres

Blood. Sweat. And a whole lot of lycra…

…three things every pro-wrestler can’t live without.

But behind the cameras and the catchphrases, what does it actually take to be the best there is, was, or ever will be? And what happens when the world of trash talks and tapouts becomes blurred with the truth of everyday reality?

Told in GURT Productions’ iconic, outrageous and side-splitting mockumentary style, WWG:

GURTMania follows the twists and turns of a ‘semi’ professional wrestling academy in the South West, as three generations of athletes metaphorically and physically wrestle with what it means to be a man living in a post-truth world.
