“Shines a spotlight on… the third person in the ring”

“Shines a spotlight on…the third person in the ring who is an integral, yet often ignored, part of the show.”

CBC

“The third dancer in a sport of simulation”

“It's clear from close range how poetically pinning an opponent is made possible by the person in stripes… the third dancer in a sport of simulation.”

CTV

“A unique, original light”

“Much as he did when he launched Kayfabe News back in 2012, [Colin] Hunter has found an untapped resource and he’s focused on shining a unique, original light on it.”

Toronto Sun

“A symphony of discordant, brain-bashing mayhem”

“With the punchy, satirical sensibility of a Michael Moore flick or Morgan Spurlock’s ‘Super Size Me’…celebrates the striped-shirted gatekeepers who conduct a symphony of discordant, brain-bashing mayhem.”

Waterloo Region Record

“A really, really fun project”

“Journey into the weird world of professional wrestling refereeing. It's a really interesting documentary… a really, really fun project.”
