In Italy, in recent years is growing, the phenomenon of wrestling, boys of all walks of life train up to 4 days a week and arrange for the weekend, a show still without sponsors and by engaging them directly in expenses.
Each is actively involved as he can, making sewing the costumes from their mothers, or asking for an hand to his father or friends for everything that concerns the preparation of the weekly show.
"Better this than drugs and clubs", they said that my question "Why do Wrestling"? I call them "Goodfellas", because many of them still live at home with their parents, some studies, other work, but all of them still have the American dream, believing strongly that even in Italy, this mix of sports and acting entertainment, can explode here.
