Here is the description for Discovery’s “Big Little Brawlers”
Set in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, “BIG LITTLE BRAWLERS” follows athletes in the Micro Wrestling Federation, one of the most successful little-person wrestling leagues in the world. “Pinky Shortcake ” and “Syko,” parents and wrestling partners, must navigate their relationship both in and out of the ring. The voice of micro wrestling, “Ivar the Micro,” dreams of going from hype man to wrestler despite significant physical risk. Popular veteran “Lil Show ” wrestles to support his wife and children but fears his best moments in the ring are behind him. And, the up-and-coming wrestler “Hot Rod” must prove his talent lives up to his ego.
Despite internal dramas and frustrations, Micro Wrestling Federation CEO Jack Darrell Hillegass encourages the group to work together as a family as they approach “MicroFest,” the biggest micro wrestling event of the year.
