WRESTLING SPECTACULAR! is the long-awaited Feature-length Documentary Film following New Zealand's amazing untold history of Professional Wrestling.

From Sports Hall-of-Famer Lofty Blomfield Octopus-Clamping his way round the country on the wireless in the 1930s through to the phenomenal television popularity of Steve Rickard, King Curtis, Samoan Joe and others in ON THE MAT in the 70s and Legendary tag-team The Bushwhackers hitting the top in the late 1980s.
