If they weren’t so stingey with prize money they’d probably have more people willing to put on a lil show and spilt the cash but I think it was like $500 which you’d probably get robbed for minuted later cause you are drunk and we’re just in a fight and everyone just saw you get $500 cash. A van full of film gear you can turn around pretty fast makes way more sense no matter how you approach it. Literally if they just paid homeless dudes to backyard wrestle they’d have people lining up to volunteer. It would still be pretty dubious but you could do it in a way that the participants are enjoying themselves. I’ve had many who were or are homeless and I can say with confidence that a lot really like wrestling.

Just remembered a haloween party at an old punks place who had a barn that a lil hay bail wrestling ring got set up and a dude who was on the streets at the time was there and wrestled under the name Hulk Homeless
