For decades, the professional wrestling industry has perpetuated a negative, flamboyant gay stereotype in many of its characters, mostly played by heterosexual men. Then along came the openly gay pro-wrestler, Simon Sermon, who defies archetypes in professional wrestling and talks about his career in this no-questions-barred documentary. This is the story of Simon, the first openly gay pro wrestler in the history of the sport, but also it includes other voices like the legendary pro-wrestler, "Exotic" Adrian Street.
