Overview
Despite being the biggest thing in sports entertainment, wrestling is usually portrayed as a joke. We want to change that perception and celebrate what often goes overlooked. The movie we're trying to make is a thriller about the world of independent wrestling set in Cleveland, Ohio, starring Matt Cross (Son of Havoc on LUCHA UNDERGROUND).

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US MEET OUR GOAL. WE'VE GOT SOME STRETCH PERKS FOR YOU ALL!

AT $12,000: ANYONE THAT'S DONATED OVER $100 ALSO GETS THIS SWEET REUSABLE (and eco-friendly!) SHOPPING TOTE & SEVERED HAND "TOO SWEET" KOOZIE.

AT $14,000: ANYONE THAT'S DONATED OVER $50 ALSO GETS THIS SWEET REUSABLE (and eco-friendly!) SHOPPING TOTE & SEVERED HAND "TOO SWEET" KOOZIE.

YOU GUYS ARE THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST!!!

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: To quote the Iron Sheik, "T-SHIRT SELECTION DROPDOWN IS JABRONI!"

In an attempt to ensure our T-shirt sizes were available for as many people as possible, IGG required us to make (2) drop down menus for sizes. Unfortunately, it's now forcing you to choose (2) sizes. If you want the t-shirt option, choose a size from each drop-down and we will confirm sizes with each contributor before the shirts go to print!

 

Powerbomb is the story of an independent wrestler on the verge of breaking into the big time, but he's contemplating leaving it all behind to spend more time with his family. When our wrestler's biggest fan hears the news, he decides to take matters into his own hands to ensure that his champion gets to the top by any means necessary.

Sickening Pictures will be producing the film with the help of TurnStyle Films and the newly formed 1984 Productions. All three production companies are based in Cleveland, Ohio, the heart of the indie wrestling world.

This is a film we feel very passionate about making and need your help to do it! We've even shot a proof of concept to give you an idea of the mood we're chasing.

Proof of concept:

 

Meet the Cast:

Are You REALLY Wrestling Fans?

What We Need & What You Get
