What it's all about...
In the golden era of British pro wrestling, Brooks was Irelands biggest star and a true national hero. Having dominated the scene for years, Brooks was embroiled in a bitter rivalry with his protege turned adversary in a fierce battle for the Irish National Championship. It was a rivalry that took them both to new heights of fame and fortune, even after British wrestling disappeared from our TV screens.

Many years later, Brooks invited a camera crew to follow and investigate his legacy as he made his bid to recapture that title on the biggest show of the year. But there was one problem.

He wasnt booked.

Written by James Tyler, a wrestler and showrunner for Source Wrestling in Glasgow, Undying Legacy is a part-improv mockumentary striking back at the dark portrayals of 'The Wrestler' and 'Beyond the Mat' to show the light hearted, humourous and just plain bizarre side of wrestling that's often overshadowed by the need to write something misreable.

Inspired by accidental wrestling legend Dennis Stamp and the theater work of Rob Drummond who, In February 2011 stepped into the ring in front of theater crowds to blur the lines between reality and fiction, Undying Legacy is taking things one step further to show how blurred the lines are between what happens in the fictional world of the wrestling ring, and the ego, antics and general strangeness that makes it happen backstage as we follow the forgotten star, Mickey Brookes, on his path back to the spotlight.

Undying Legacy will be filmed as a ten part series of ten-minute shorts to be broadcast online that will follow Mickey Brooks as he tells us about his career, his downfall and tries to slide his way back into the spotlight in a completely different era.

And what's the point...?
The real benefits we hope to achieve is to help boost Source Wrestling - a non-profit organisation that spends all it's time and money on advancing talent for little in return. We hope to work alongside the talents developing in Glasgow to give them a bigger and better platform to perform on and let them get their talents on a project that will, hopefully, be seen worldwide.

Another major factor we want to present is to show that there is a world of wrestling outside of the internationally known company, that these young men and women are dedicating their life to their art - and that it is an art form with a lot more to offer than most people realise..

And the big one, the important one... we just want to make people laugh and enjoy watching the show!

I dig it. So what are you spending the money on?
What we need is rather simple. We have sourced and gained some of the equipment required to produce the work however to make it worthwhile we need to find a little more for sound production and editing. We don't want to scrape by and deliver a substandard product, but give the talent a platform they deserve to be on.

We'd also like to give the talent something for their efforts, regardless of how small that is.

The stage and settings can be handled through Source Wrestling which saves a lot of money and regardless of how much, or how little, we raise, we'll still be going ahead as planned in February. 


Cool (and the gang). So what do I get out of it?
What you get? Again, it's simple; Everyone who donates will be offered a part in the project. On screen, credited, the whole works.

What else can I do to help you's guys out?
If you're a fan of wrestling, or just want to see something that'll make you laugh, please shout and scream as loud as you can, share and if need be - put people in a figure four leg lock until they donate ;)
