   This is a bad movie with a lot of crazy Backyard Wrestling. These children are generally stupid, but it makes a lot of fun to watch. I always thought that documentaries are boring, but this movie has changed my opinion. Highly recommended!

   If you do not lead to the world of Backyard Wrestling, this could be a good start if you need something from the Pure Drive and want to see the horror of this development. Same as pick-up games in the dirt, youth in all regions of the United States make their own associations fighting, of course, no training outside of television and a love for the game. You can say that Backyard Wrestling is much more dangerous than any type of baseball game or football in the dust (especially if the barbed wire and flaming tables in the game), and you would not have a lot of an argument from me, but here it is how deep and insightful and objective of this documentation.

   The film offers a good selection of proto-Ringer, The Lizard, and aspire to be a real pro – wrestler (who puts his money where his mouth is and actually audition for a WWE Tough Enough and runs a wrestling school), to raise children to each other on pins and cut his forehead for a handful of women and children in their gardens. Some seem like angry children who prefer to find ways to open wounds, and others seem completely lost and have no idea that the efforts towards one days fed through a tube. Some of them show how they channel their services through a lot of pain in his life – Scar, for example, was a sickly child, who went through mutliple operations when he was only a little child, and the hardcore wrestling seems be for him a space on the control of his body, which was to him for so many years. A boy plays his story of abuse by his fight films, which somehow the pain, he was asked by the Lord. These are interesting insights on a disc that appears on the surface of a terrible trend of young people.

   But what pulls me away from this movie is the thinly veiled manipulation by the filmmaker. ” When the two brothers to his grandmother to show the extent of their results, it is clearly time to configure the camera and loses the appeal to see a real answer to the grandmother. In deciding a boy, a game with other children agreed that goes under the name The Retarded Butcher, mother of The Butcher’s “suddenly” appears again a clear agreement of filmmakers. Even Rob Van Dam’s brief appearances in the film feel absolutely “Counterpoint” and not a complete test of sport over the Shindings backyard.

   Ultimately _The Backyard_ is ahead on the confidence in the subject and has too many rough edges, and unfortunately they are not rough edges that scalp open or could interrupt two.

   I’ve always been a wrestling fan, and when I was younger, my friends and I often videotaped stage “hits” in our basements and backyards. We were not professionals, but at least we were aware of this fact. Also, we must do for us as brutal as the children featured in this document. I think the filmmakers have a supurb job with these kids and what they are, without trial, a trend that could be very easy to do. The film documents the backyard variety “Wrestling” leagues. I think this is the saddest story that two brothers who torches violently each other in their games as an outlet for the pain of the abuse they suffered when they were younger. In addition, has a 17-year-old candidate promoter who does not care who is hurt in its events. He has a heart and power hungry in this film. Other leagues will be presented, including some talented but foolish boy in England. Their pleasure was arrested when a viewer a amule calls when they see the blood of a child, thought it would be nice to look like “Blade”, during a match (with a razor blade to cut a small incision in forehead, produces a little blood flow enough to look pretty bad) The only group that does just seem good in this movie is a group of college kids from New York with an emphasis on cooperation and be safe. (In other words, they do not intersect each other, setting one on fire, still carrying the high risk after dangerous maneuver)

   The film is primarily a period of 26 who uses the stage name “lizard” in the quest for a genuine pro-wrestler. When at last there is a legitimate Pro Wrestling School, the film shows some pictures of them a strength training and cardio training, is that your body will store in the ring.

   I only gave this video 4 stars and not 3 because of a special study entitled “Wresling Superstar” in which a wrestler speaks at length about how to become a professional wrestler, the importance of a good education and your dreams and the stupidity of the brutality of many of these backyard “control” will prevail. I think every parent, the child takes on Backyard Wrestling should see this film, whether their children have put their bodies at risk, and watch the “fight featurette” superstar.

   This is a must for any wrestling fan to watch. These kids all seem inspired by ECW and the really scary things. I loved Beyond The Mat, and thought it was just as good.

   Has been for hours after seeing this movie, all I could think of how desperate some of these children.
   documentary on Backyard Wrestling is a really great piece of work.
   As a wrestling fan, I went into this movie thinking that all young wrestlers backyard are just stupid. I see now that in any case, some different levels of stupidity.
   You are all here. Children who ask only a certain technique for the child, pain and Backyard Wrestling better spent on themselves all the way to 28, who believes that the marking is done on the body by the explosion tables, it provides a career in the WWE “.
   This film does not make me think that the fight about. This makes me think, as sad and desperate individuals.
