The narrative weaves a humorous take on the absurdity of wrestling in a science fiction setting, exploring themes of ambition and the struggle for success. The plot follows Hoiman as he reminisces about his career managing a wrestler named Ray and their attempts to adapt to the unique challenges of wrestling on other planets. From facing the strong yet inexperienced miners on the Moon to the bizarre customs of the Martians, Hoiman's comedic misadventures highlight the cultural clashes and unexpected complications of wrestling in the cosmos. Ultimately, his efforts result in a chaotic and uproarious encounter with Martians that disrupts their plans and leaves them in a perilous situation, underscoring the unpredictable nature of his journey across the solar circuit.
