Fighting with My Family (2019)
About this episode
The episode discusses the biopic 'Fighting with My Family' and the challenges faced by women in wrestling and the industry.
"I am a freak from Norwich, England! And I have dreamt of this since I was 13 years old! And it's not just mine. It belongs to my family!" We're taking you all on the road to WrestleMania, whether you like it or not! The story of Saraya "Paige" Knight is one of wrestling's most fascinating, and the biopic about her rise through WWE is historic for a reason. Let's talk about being a woman wrestling fan, what it means to be a teenage girl in a male-dominated industry, and what it means to be an alt girl in an industry that wants you to be a specific "type" of woman. -------- Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom -------- MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT Equality Ohio: https://www.equalityohio.org -------- Article Referenced: 'Fighting With My Family' Director Stephen Merchant On Stepping Beyond Comedy And Into The Wrestling Ring [Interview]: https://www.slashfilm.com/564479/stephen-merchant-interview-fighting-with-my-family/ -------- Social Media Plugs @ThisEndsAtProm @BJColangelo @HarmonyColangelo ---------- Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDo Theme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
