Kayfabe Confidential

Watchmen meets Dark Side of the Ring in this gritty, blood-soaked dive into the world of 1970s professional wrestling—where heroes weren’t just made in the ring, they were bought, broken, and buried.

Told as a fictional oral history, Kayfabe Confidential pulls back the curtain on a crumbling wrestling territory where the line between performance and real violence didn’t just blur—it vanished. Under the glare of arena lights and the weight of backroom deals, washed-up legends, crooked promoters, and bitter fans expose the dark truths behind wrestling’s so-called golden age.

In a world where the good guys weren’t always good—and the bad guys were often worse—the biggest betrayal didn’t happen in the ring. It happened when the crowd went home.
