The BBC have followed the fortunes of the small but growing sporting business of Insane Championship Wrestling….
Insane Fight Club
A group of friends have created a brand new subculture that is taking over the streets of Glasgow. They’ve established their very own fight club, but this is no ordinary wrestling event – this is brutal, riotous chaos. Fights don’t always stay inside the ring, people are bounced off the side of buses and thrown off balconies in pubs. They now plan the biggest show of their lives. The stakes are high, will it bring them the fame and recognition they need to survive?
It’s a great film but once it’s over what does the BBC do when the cameras are packed away and they move onto the next bit of schedule filling entertainment?
Let’s face it the BBC aren’t interested in the political, cultural and social views of the people who fill this film….working class, white, male….and just as intelligent, thinking, humane and creative as any number of Will Self talking heads that normally populate the BBC.
They’re happy to exploit them for a film, and it’s a good film, but when will the BBC take an interest in their views on immigration, Europe and Islam, anything the BBC thinks ‘populist’.
The last time the BBC paid any heed it was only to call such views ‘poisonous’…’polluting’ decent people’s views of the world.
Vice has a film looking at Britsh wrestling…it opens with this raw statement from Mark Dallas, the promoter of Insane Championship Wrestling, and his views on the Media……
“What’s going on in Hollywood? Well who gives a fuck what’s going on. Who drank what, who slapped whose arse, who fucking cares? You represent every journalist who puts a fucking story out about Jordan or some cunt like that on the front page of your fucking paper when there are cunts dying in the world you represent everything that’s wrong. And you know that was all fine, that was fucking fine when there were other options, when there was shit for me to watch and shit for me to be entertained by, but now there’s not. There’s fuck all for me. I’m not meant to have an option. So I created my own fucking option. It’s called Insane Championship Wrestling.”
There’s fuck all for me!!
Damn right!
