â<i>Total Suplex of the Heart</i> is great! An R-rated wrestling drama with completely relatable characters. As a wrestling fan, I feel as if I already know these exact people, and as a comic book fan I want to know ALL about them!"
- Patrick Brower, co-owner of Challengers Comics + Conversation, Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award Winner,
Georgie, a somewhat naive high school grad, dives into the world of pro-wrestling. While she initially finds validation as a wrestling diva, she soon begins to experience the darker side of her favourite sport. When Georgie, freshly eighteen and riding high on the wave of a glow-up after a life as an ugly duckling, meets âBig Dâ Donnie G, a wrestling promoter, her life changes. She is pulled into the world of professional wrestlingâfirst as little more than an accessory for other wrestlers, and then as a wrestler herself. Soon, sheâs all in. More shows. More revealing outfits. More focus on her body, her sexuality, the attention. After spending most of her life as an overlooked nerd, Georgie reacts to her newfound sex appeal as if sheâs developed a super powerâŚone she hasnât totally been able to master, leading to confusing relationships with the toxic male wrestlers on the scene. Before long, however, she meets Steve and realises âglowing upâ is not the same as âgrowing up.â
