Ben Abelson, Evan Burke, Doc Diamondfire

Ben is an academic who loves wrestling. Doc is a wrestler. And Evan...just doesn’t get it. After twenty-plus years of friendship, they’re going to try and understand each other, and hopefully make sense of what people love...and hate...about the world's most popular form of simulated combat.
