Weekend Warriors

Across the country, men and women are chasing a dream while wrestling in convention centers, Masonic lodges, meeting halls and wherever else they can find ropes and a crowd.

WEEKEND WARRIORS will focus on the men and women that chase their dreams against insurmountable odds. We’ll follow as they try to balance their careers and home lives while also examining the culture of independent wrestling around them.

To launch our concept, we traveled to northern Virginia to meet mixed martial artist / professional wrestler, John Kermon and the fans of NOVA Pro Wrestling.
