| 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

Victor Rook, asks when trying to find out why
wrestling has become so underappreciated in America. |

| Pro, amateur, and submission
wrestling are examined in-depth, as well as
wrestling homophobia and homoeroticism. The documentary includes
a look at the world of underground wrestling where adult men
attend wrestling retreats and use the internet to find other men
to wrestle.

"It’s
a story nobody, gay or straight, has previously
had the nerve to tell—and this movie is all
the more remarkable because it gets every bit of
it absolutely right. I’ve never seen a better
movie about wrestling…never ever." --Joe,
Ringside at Skull Island

speaks to my life-long fantasy and obsession.
My favorite of the festival." --ImageOut

"It was so real to me as
I'm sure it will be to many. A true 5-star
effort!"
-- Phil, PA Wrestling Coach
"I saw myself in scene after scene...a
marvelous job in describing something that so
many of us have not been able to describe,
communicate, or even admit in my generation and
the generations before me."
--Warren E., bodybuilding promoter
"STRONGHOLD was excellent....lots of stuff
covered strikes a personal chord in me: heroes,
gladiators, father figures, brothers, wrestling
my friends, and even sneaking (in) late night TV
wrestling."
