What it did do however, was get people talking. This movie discusses some really heavy subjects including #death and #suicide. At its core is a moving story of breaking #generationalcurses wrapped up in a #wrestling movie.There are lessons to be learned here, about parents living vicariously through their children. Putting pressure on your #children to be what you want them to be and not what they want to be and the kind of emotional damage possible when pushing too hard.
