What to expect
OLLIE and his older brother, Hollis, have wrestling in their blood. Their mom was a pro whose dreams of stardom were dashed by Werewrestler, a formidable rule-breaking opponent. Now she’s an overworked, underpaid ref at Slamdown Town, the local arena. Ollie’s goal in life is to avenge his mom—immediately followed by his other goal: to hang his bully of a brother from the roof by his tighty-whities.
But there’s one problem—Ollie has a puny frame. Thus, Ollie has resigned himself to a fate of wrestling mediocrity and wet willies … until the day Hollis gifts him a piece of stale gum purchased on eBay and previously chewed by Professor Pain, Ollie’s number one wrestling idol. Unbeknownst to Hollis, the gum has an unusual side effect: the ability to physically transform Ollie into a pro wrestler. As Big Chew, Ollie is finally able to put Hollis in his place and be a star. But when the fate of the Slamdown Town Arena is threatened, being Big Chew gets a lot more complicated.
