Lock up your Sons

[Spoon Bender]

Anybody else see it? It was just on channel 4. Basically it was an in depth look at British Backyard wrestling.
The most suprising thing I found about it was that I still have no respect for Backyarders. I thought that a documentary told from their point of view would show at least a few posative aspects to it, but the kids that do it just seemed total morons.

Some interesting stats from it:

The average age of a Backyarder is 15.

The oldest Backyarder in the UK is 19.

The Biggest Backyard wrestling event of the year is Welshfest which is attended by a staggering 10 people!

The average backyard event costs £30 of paper round money to set up (cost of weapons etc)

There is apparently, nothing shameful about having a fed with only 2 people in it.

On the plus side they showed some footage of a proper training school and some of the students were amazing! They had them running up walls and backflipping off! Crazy!
