Synopsis

It's Sunday afternoon, and the kids fill the day and their stomachs with day-old Abatti pizza. Everyone, that is, except Gordy Rhinehart. Gordy has spent a month's worth of Sundays without his father. Coach Rhinehart has been preoccupied with something, but what that something is no one knows. And Gordy's having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the something in his father's life might be more important then Gordy himself. Suddenly, a wrestling commercial featuring the Masked Menace appears on television. Various clues from said commercial lead Angela to believe that Coach Rhinehart has taken to a double life in the squared circle. In order to prove her wrestling theory, Angela and friends go ringside with hopes of unmasking the Masked Menace and revealing him to be Coach Rhinehart. Then they will force him to give up this other life. There's just one catch- the coach hasn't wrestled in years. He's been coaching the Masked Menace in an effort to raise money for Gordy's figure skating lessons. Even when father and son are apart, their thoughts are with each other.
