- Synopsis
- After more than ten years in the wrestling circuit, Jason will play the match of his life—a worldwide audition to fight in the prestigious WWE. Always ready to do his absolute best, Jason is outraged when his manager asks him to take the easy way out in an arranged match. To the indifferent senior opponent, the fight is nothing more than an act of marketing and promotion. Wrestling may be equal parts of entertainment and sports in which matches are choreographed, but Jason believes in giving his all and respecting the spirit of the game. The director invited famous Hong Kong wrestler Jason Lee who participated in WWE to play an on-screen role close to home, revealing the story of blood and tears behind the spotlight.
