Twf - Thumb Wrestling Federation - Complete Series One [DVD]

Description

A long time ago, when wrestlers wore speedos and had back hair, the four corners of the thumb wrestling ring were a place of heroic deeds, of fair competition, of honour. The brackets were made, the bells polished and rung, and the scores kept, all by the wise thumbs of the Thumb Wrestling Federation. The TWF was presided over by Newt Knuckle, one of the sports pioneers and its elder statesman. All was A okay, thumbs up! the old timers would say with a glint in their nails. Thumbs up that is, until a young upstart named Page Boy Skull decided to give the whole thing the finger. Page Boy Skull was a young man in a hurry. He didnt read the record books, and he didnt respect the old timers, the greats that built the sport, thumbs like Newt Knuckle, Colonel Cossack, and Phineas D. Finger. Page Boy Skull didnt want to work his way through the brackets by wrestling exhibition bouts in places like Thumboldt, Texas and Thumbleweed, Montana. Page Boy Skull didnt have the time. He wanted it all and he wanted it now. When Newt Knuckle thumbed his nose at Page Boy Skulls demand to be included on the Thumb Wrestling Federations governing council, Skull led a revolt. In a tragedy that rivaled the Great Thumb Fire of 1881, the Thumb Wrestling Federation was split in two. Those with respect and with honor joined the Mighty Dexteras. Those with less than a thimble full of decency joined the evil Sinistras. In the ensuing turmoil, Newt Knuckle and Phineas D. Finger disappeared while other old timers like Colonel Cossack threw in the towel. Renaming himself to reflect his newly acquired status, Page Boy Skull became Senator Skull, leader of the Sinistras. As wrestlers battle to fill the power vacuum left by the disappearance of the TWF Legends, Senator Skull and the Sinistras will stop at nothing to defeat the Mighty Dexteras, take over the Thumb Wrestling Federation and perhapsthe world! Its just a regular Monday night at the TWF! DEXTERAS, SINISTRAS, LETS GET READY TO THUMBLE!
