"Munya Chawawa, the British-Zimbabwean comedian, has always been an avid wrestling fan. He still has the big bag full of WWE action figures he collected as a child."
"Wrestling fan Munya Chawawa links the US president's vulgarity, macho posturing and violent language to WWE."
"Alas, his documentary Wrestling With Trump (Channel 4, Tuesday, May 12, streaming on Channel4.com), which is at once playful and disturbing, doesn't see him climb into the ring to fight the US president."
