OUT IN THE RING looks at the history of queer identity in professional wrestling. Using a historical timeline starting from the 1940's and 50's to the current LGBTQIA+ wrestling explosion with LGBTQIA+ run promotions and talent focused shows globally. The film interviews the performers, fans and historians, exploring aspects of masculinity/ femininity, cultural representation/appropriation, homophobia and self representation/openness. OUT IN THE RING provides an entertaining and historical look at something taboo in the sport, and how LGBTQIA+ trailblazers in the industry have set about to survive, thrive and change perceptions in and out of the business.
