Top 3 Drama Finalist in Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition 2021 The Black List comments: "It's a compelling reflection on second chances, passion, and family." "Themes of mental health are alluded throughout the script, that of depression, pain, anxiety, yet it never sinks to a level of exploiting it, but moreover showing the hope and the light of improving one's self, and how the process of maturation proves that coming-of-age can happen at any age." "The premise is captivating and the world of the story is depicted with vividness and attention to detail." "The story has humor, sensibility, and a light touch, and it will be a pleasure to watch on the big screen." "This script is enjoyable and sweet, it hits the right balance between humor and honesty, and it has that universality to it that would make it accessible to a wide audience. Moviegoers don't need to love - or even know about - wrestling to still find this entertaining. Like any solid sports dramedy, this story is more focused on the characters and their individual journeys than it is on winning. This script has the added bonus of wrestling being incredibly cinematic - so the competition scenes don't hurt, either. It has the charm of a coming of age, and its 'older' protagonist will resonate with the majority of today's moviegoing crowd. Memorable, easy, and full of laughs, it's a great script to consider."
