It's Still Real To Us (Web series)

'It's Still Real To Us' and is about Mikey, Harry and "Naitch" 3 lifelong wrestling fans raised in the era of attitude who attend their school reunion hoping to see Dan, another die hard wrestling fan friend of theirs who they lost touch with after school. When they get there however they find that he has grown up into another corperate stooge and married Nikki, his bosses daughter who hates the boys and doesn't allow Dan to watch professional wrestling as she thinks it's immature and for idiots.

The show is full of wrestling references and jokes some obvious others more obscure and we think fellow fans of wrestling will like it. We recently held a local premiere for the show which was attended by a mixer of both fans and non fans of wrestling and everybody seemed to enjoy it!

This is meant as a pilot for a possible future series. I think we learnt a lot making this about what worked and what didn't. I personally think we concentrated a little to much on the story and not enough on making sure it was funny and this is something I'd like to change in future sketches featuring the characters and the possible full series.

Anyway it can be viewed here

Great job! This was fun and deserves more feedback just for the effort alone.

I got far too many of the references that I'm comfortable admitting to though! And it's the second Shockmaster parody I've seen this month.

As you say it could have been funnier, especially for non wrestling fans. But you seem to be on the right track and the production was excellent.

Thanks I'm glad you liked it!

The hardest thing about filming was the scheduling as we had to book the hall in advance (at £15 an hour) and make sure everyone could make it.

We do have a big story arc in mind where the boys are trying to get Dan back but sketches are definitely the way forward until we fine tune the formula.
