OUT IN THE RING
Ry Levey; 2022; Canada; 105 min.

Does wrestling seem gay to you? That’s because it is. OUT IN THE RING documents the careers of several queer professional wrestlers, whose experiences in and out of the ring were both vulnerable and tragic. For their fans, however, these wrestlers provided key representations that reinforced the concept of their queer identities. Through exemplifying how the wrestlers navigated the complicated dynamics of performance and personhood, OUT IN THE RING provides a crucial look at gender and sexuality within professional sports.
