Plan B: Exposing the Business

About This Movie

So, 'Plan B: Exposing the Business' from '79 is an interesting piece of wrestling history, if you ask me. The whole premise revolves around these wrestlers, the Knoxville Five, who essentially create their own rival promotion, All-Star Championship Wrestling. You get this raw, gritty vibe throughout the film, reflecting the tension of the wrestling world at that time. The pacing is kind of erratic but fits the chaotic atmosphere of the wrestling scene they're depicting. While the performances aren’t polished like today’s standards, there’s a certain authenticity to their struggle and defiance that makes it unique. Plus, the practical effects and behind-the-scenes glimpses add an extra layer of intrigue to the whole affair.

This film is somewhat obscure, with few copies floating around, often found on VHS or rare DVD releases. Its collector interest stems from the niche appeal of wrestling documentaries and the historical significance of the Knoxville Five’s rebellion against the Southeastern Championship Wrestling. As a piece of wrestling lore, it piques the curiosity of both wrestling fans and collectors of underground cinema.
