World Premiere!
El Presidente - The Incredibly Strange Wrestling Movie
Welcome to Cabo San Luchas, land of wrestling, punk rock, and politics!  When El Homo Loco decides to run for President of Boystown, he finds life is trickier outside of the ring.  The Oi Boy wants his head, Erika Kanine wants him exposed, and the Snackmaster could care less unless it involves snacktime.  Life was easier when all the punches were pulled below the belt!  This is Lucha Libre at it's most depraved, if that's possible.  Let's keep it clean, Boystown!
