Page "Backyard wrestling" Paragraph 2

Backyard wrestling is a loose term that can occur anywhere from a park, field, warehouse, or an actual backyard and has become completely reliant on sharing home-filmed events, matches and videos via public-access television and the internet which are both an upgrade from distributing videos person-to-person retrospectively.

Over the years, backyard wrestling has broken into media with several Best of Backyard Wrestling Volumes produced, two video games entitled Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood, and a critically acclaimed 2002 documentary entitled The Backyard, showcasing backyard wrestling under a more mainstream light as it follows several wrestlers and federations from all over the world, detailing the different styles and portrayals of backyard wrestling.

In an interview, the director Paul Hough compared The Backyard to Beyond the Mat, but with yarders.
