Charleston Daily Mail article about the filmmaker (in a new window)
WV filmmaker and professor, Daniel Boyd, is in for the shock of his life when he takes his family to a pro wrestling event and finds himself going from spectator to participant. Little does he know that 4-time XMCW champion, Mister X, has been carrying a bitter 16-year grudge for not being cast as a child actor in Boyd's 1988 feature film "Chillers."
That fateful day spurs a wild, five month course of events with X and his evil entourage that will lead Boyd from being the oldest man in XMCW history to win the XIC belt, to being scarred for life in the brutal aftermath of the title defense. The film documents the agony and the ecstasy of a fan forced inside the cruel, real world of professional wrestling.
