(Movie I created in Film Studies) The film is about Professional Wrestler S.A.S who is considered by many to be the greatest wrestler at the moment and is incredibly popular with the fans. However the chairman of FWE Mr Allen doesn’t see the appeal of him as he is much smaller and younger than the champion and face of the company Infamous E. The fans however don’t like Infamous E and find him boring compared to S.A.S. After being refused a shot at the championship for too long S.A.S snaps and airs he’s annoyance with the company in front of the crowd and fans watching at home. Mr Allen is about to fire him until he sees the ratings for the show and decides to finally put him in a championship match against Infamous E and the biggest wrestling event of the year Wrestlefest. Whilst getting ready for the match he meets with retired wrestler William Johnston who gives him some extra training so he knows he’s ready. As S.A.S and Infamous E go through the rivalry on TV there is also tension off TV with Infamous E saying that S.A.S doesn’t deserve to be in this position. In the match S.A.S outclasses Infamous E in the match showing how inexperienced Infamous E really is. However the match ends with Infamous E locking a submission in on S.A.S and the ref is about to ring the bell but William Johnston comes out to stop him. S.A.S is able to get the win and the film ends with him celebrating with William Johnston and the Championship.
