Amateur Wrestling Grapples Way into Festival Circuit

Amateur wrestling leagues have proliferated in America since the beginning of the 20the century. Several such leagues were started by a man named Vince McMahon Sr., who's league (Now the WWE, run by his son) is one of the largest companies in the world. Over those past 100 years, music and wrestling have joined forces and made a pretty bad-ass tag team on more than one occasion. There was the Rock 'n' Roll Express, that misguided film with Rowdy Roddy Piper, and my personal favorite Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling. Now those monkeys of the mat are taking the amateur show to rock fans. Gander On for more video!
