Wrestling Mad image.How do two seventeen stone studious types end up as the darlings of Pro-Wrestling?

Timid academics Jack and Jeff had hopes for glittering careers in the theatre, until the local council pulled their grant.  With no jobs, no girls and a life of walk-on roles and dodgy takeaways beckoning, they resort to putting their performing talents to good effect on an altogether different stage - a wrestling ring.

Surprisingly, Jack and Jeff find that they have a natural gift for body slams and forearm smashes, and are soon thrilling the baying crowds with their novel names and outlandish gimmicks.

This was a brand new grappling, physical comedy, written and directed by master of mirth, John Godber.
