Louis Theroux - Wrestling

We watched Louis Theroux do a documentary on wrestling in America.
He (struggled to) interview a few wrestlers and organisers, to see what happens in the day-to-day life of this way of living.

The documentary was made up mostly of interviews, and Louis also tried out a typical workout routine of a wrestler. He struggled so hard, but the professional guys kept pushing him until he was sick, which was a bit shocking to watch.
It also showed a few clips of actual wrestling events as well, where they used props such as barbed wire and hit each other with chairs. It proved to me that, although some may see wrestling as fake and set-up, they go far and push themselves, by training and actually getting hurt in the process.

I'd say this documentary was aimed at viewers who enjoy to get to know about how wrestling works and for people who may think it's fake. It will give people a different insight into this topic.
