weekend warriors

To build an engaged audience and set the stage for the film, we will launch a dedicated YouTube channel featuring short-form documentary-style content. This content will highlight the colorful cast of characters — wrestlers, the crooked promoter, and a couple of devoted (or delusional) fans — immersing viewers in the bizarre and heartfelt world of independent wrestling.

Content Breakdown

Wrestler Videos

We will follow 6 featured wrestlers, each of whom will have a three-part video series:

1. Character Profile

   • Who they are in the ring.

   • Over-the-top promos, catchphrases, entrance hype.

   • Exploring their gimmick, rivalries, and illusions of grandeur.

2. Gear Profile

   • A look at their costumes, boots, masks, or ridiculous props.

   • Where it comes from (Amazon? Grandma?), how much it costs, why it matters.

3. Real Life Profile

   • Their day jobs, families, struggles to pay bills, what keeps them chasing the dream.

Total Wrestler Videos: 18 videos (3 per wrestler × 6 wrestlers)

Promoter Videos

The shady promoter will have two videos:

1. Character Profile

   • His bombastic self-promotion, questionable promises, and talk about “building the territory.”

2. Real Life Profile

   • The side hustles, failed schemes, and how he rationalizes underpaying his talent.

Total Promoter Videos: 2 videos

Fan Commentary

We will produce multiple short interstitials with the most dedicated (and ridiculous) fans:

• Fans weigh in on storylines, trash talk wrestlers, and share why they come to these tiny shows.

• Clips used as reaction breaks throughout other videos.

Total Fan Content: 6–8 short fan clips, used flexibly across the channel to drive engagement.
