Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Other New Wrestling Movie: "Win Win"

I'm not sure exactly how much wrestling action is involved in the film, but from the trailer it appears that it will play a pretty big role. It looks like it could be a pretty good flick.

Here is a bit of background on the story:

Disheartened attorney Mike Flaherty, who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, stumbles across a star athlete through some questionable business dealings while trying to support his family. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy's mother shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything.

I actually got to go to the premier, and talk to the director and actor who played the main wrestler on the movie. It was really good, and the kid was a New Jersey state champ. Realistic wrestling and a good story line. You should check it out when it comes out.

GREAT MOVIE!
Alex Shaffer is an outstanding wrestler and you can watch his state title on flowrestling.

Nominated for an ESPY......see the comments on the film around the 1st part of April.

Anthony Robles (Arizona State) NCAA champion is also nominated for an ESPY.
