The Backstory

For well over the last decade I've heard both fans and industry insiders arguing about what is wrong with the current mainstream pro wrestling product. But I never heard a clear, concise and definitive idea for a new one.

In discussing the business with friends over that same time period, however, I started to envision just that. And over the last six months, using what I've learned in pro wrestling and making a documentary; studying today’s entertainment landscape; and learning the fundamentals of legitimate fighting, that is exactly what I've done.

I have the complete concept. I've done the groundwork, evolved the in-ring style, written the full script, built an experienced production team and created a detailed budget.

All I need now are the funds to make this a reality.

The Logline

"A diverse group of amateur fighters and their morally ambivalent promoter struggle to coexist in their upstart fight league."

Why now?

With the popularity of high-concept shows like Breaking Bad, the ability of mockumentary style shows like Modern Family to connect to an audience, and the realism of MMA firmly established within our culture, there is a huge window in the market right now for an innovative, scripted fight product influenced by them.

This is the perfect time and I am in the perfect place to do this. The window of opportunity is now.
Thoughts on this? Personally, I think it's a cool idea. I like that Nigel McGuinness and Jimmy Jacobs are both involved. I'll probably end up donating a few bucks.

that high concept sounds remarkably similar to the austin-mcmahon feud, no?

If anything, I am reminded of the failed Wrestling Retribution Project. If the project is funded, then I'll be interested to see what McGuinness dishes out. I suppose, more than anything, I'm eager to see Nigel wrestle again.

The Wrestling Retribution Project being funded and filmed but never released probably isn't good for any future wrestling projects there. There's no way Nigel gets what he's asking for.

Nigel McGuinness has released the "Last of McGuinness" documentary online free of charge temporarily. He is doing so to draw attention to his new Kickstarter campaign for "L.A. Fights." You can watch the documentary here:



Powell's POV: The documentary will be available until noon on Monday and is highly recommended. Nigel is trying to raise $370,000 for his new concept, which is a six-episode series "completely reinventing the professional wrestling genre." You can learn more about his concept and donate to the fund at Kickstarter.com.
The Last of McGuinness is one of the better wrestling documentaries I've seen. If you haven't already, definitely make it a point to check it out for free while you can.
