Kayfabe
Kayfabe is a mockumentary that explores the humorous, endearing, and wonderfully ridiculous subculture of the independent wresting industry. It's a fake real movie about a fake real sport.
Synopsis:
Ever wonder how somebody actually becomes a professional wrestler? It’s a lot less glamorous than you might think...
Over the last several decades, for 20 bucks a night in front of crowds of less than 100, the “stars” of the Tri-Cities International Championship Wrestling Federation (TCICWF) have been trying to make it to the big time by performing their own campy brand of sports entertainment. In the process, they have inadvertently offended just about everybody in town.
And now that the TCICWF is shutting down forever, these colorful, eccentric, clueless, indie wrestlers have one last chance to show the world that they belong in the big leagues.
In much the same way that This is Spinal Tap lampooned the world of heavy metal music and Best in Show skewered the sub-culture of competitive dog breeding, Kayfabe pulls no punches while revealing the hilarious absurdities of independent professional wrestling.
