In the end, Ollie knows he can\'t have it all; and it\'s only when he asks himself who he really is that he learns what it means to be a champion.
But when trouble befalls his family, being Big Chew gets a lot more complicated.
As Big Chew, Ollie\'s finally able to put Hollis in his place and be a star.
Ollie soon discovers that the gum--bought on eBay and formerly chewed by a wrestling legend-- has an unusual side effect: the ability to physically transform Ollie into a pro wrestler. until the day Hollis gifts him a piece of stale gum and forces him to chew it. . .
Thus Ollie has resigned himself to a fate of wrestling mediocrity and wet willies .
But there\'s one problem: Ollie inherited their estranged dad\'s puny frame, while Hollis got their mom\'s brawn.
Ollie\'s goal in life is to win the golden championship belt for his mom--immediately followed by his other goal: to hang his bully of a brother from the roof by his tightie-whities.
Now she\'s an overworked, underpaid ref at Slamdown Town, the local arena.
