(0) based on 0 votes
Go Big Or Go Home chronicles the training and aspirations of a group of young women in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania pro wrestling school, and the often harsh realities of the lifestyle that awaits them, if their squared circle dreams come true. From tedious day jobs and mixed family reactions to grueling, late night, in-ring sessions that occasionally impart more bumps and bruises than skill, the women who opt to pursue a life in wrestling willingly leave all convention behind. Following a muse that's outside the norm, and willing to sacrifice anything for entry into a world that's more carny than commonplace, these new ladies of wrestling prove that, in a world of ever-increasing predictable mundanity, the human spirit is alive and well.

Tough Guys

10 years before the debut of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In 1979, Bill Viola and Frank Caliguri dreamed up a contest pitting barroom bigmouths against wrestlers, martial artists, boxers, bouncers and brawlers, billed as no-holds-barred new type of competitive fighting. When the fights succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, they were swept up in a chain of events that ended in the first mixed-martial arts ban in the nation. “Tough Guys” chronicles the inception of Caliguri and Viola’s first bouts and the colorful, crazy cast of fighters who made them a hit as well as the politicians who brought it all crashing down. The film brings to life a moment when the national martial arts craze was building to a crescendo as the economies of Pennsylvania steel towns were plummeting to levels of unemployment never seen, breeding desperate men looking for a chance to prove their worth and make some money in the ring.
