GAEA Girls
For professional wrestling fans (and the general public), access to the inner workings of this once forbidden and often misunderstood world has never been easier. Recently, several films and exposés and have allowed audiences to stroll behind what was once professional wrestling’s iron curtain. Even so, none of these films will have properly prepared audiences for Gaea Girls. Kim Longinotto and Jano Williams’ documentary delves headfirst into a world most U.S. audiences remain completely unaware of – the unique and sometimes violently disturbing realm of Japanese women’s professional wrestling.

Imagine {The pairing of steroids and the high profile athlete}
Are many of baseball's best players such as Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds enhancing their abilities with steroids? Will proof that this is so permanently damage the game? Have steroids irreparably infected Track and Field as well? Can we believe the records owned by stars such as Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery were honestly earned? Are the recent feats by many of today's superstar athletes simply too good to be naturally true? As the evidence mounts and accusations fly, one wonders who will go down and who will ultimatley be vindicated. But one thing has already been made clear. Steroids are no longer the sole domain of bodybuilders seen in muscle magazines with necks the same width as their waists. Apparently Wheaties has been surpassed as the Breakfast of Champions.
