350 Days

Professional wrestlers aren't made in the gym; they're made on the road. Their lives are a series of one-night shows in VFW halls, high school gyms and county fairs, and every bout is a chance to work on their crowd skills, hone their patter on the microphone and, yes, actually wrestle. It's a grinding, lonely life that requires 350 days of travel every year just to make a living. The new documentary 350 Days features legends of the ring such as Bret Hart, Superstar Billy Graham, Nikolai Volkoff and Wendi Richter all talking about what it takes — and what it costs — to be the best, as well as archival footage of some great matches. 350 Days gets a one-night-only screening courtesy of Fathom Events. You can see it locally at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 12, at the Marcus Wehrenberg Ronnies 20 Cine (5320 South Lindbergh Boulevard; www.fathomevents.com). Tickets are $12.50.
