The true story of following your dreams and having them crushed... along with your bones! At 18, weighing a mere ten stone and possessing absolutely no athletic ability, Darius Davies decided a career in pro-wrestling was his dream. Shortly after coming to this conclusion, he suffered a life-changing injury. Road to Wrestlemania is a humorous, nostalgic tale featuring the lows and lows of aspiring to a pro-wrestling career. See actual x-rays and an audition video for Tough Enough, which is so bad you'll wince. A must-see comedy for fans and non-fans alike!

Darius Davies

Was really looking forward to this performance due to firstly having a huge passion for wrestling and secondly somehow managing to convince my wife we should go to something wrestling related. Well so we arrived and were allocated some props for the show, there were spme technical difficulties at the start but no problem can happen to anyone but following this his performance was dull and slothish; it seemed like Darius really did not want to be there confirmed by the several times he said "I hope there are no reveiwers in here because I really can't be arsed, the audience is too small" as well as minutes later turning around and saying "look I'm a bit of a premadona I'm not feeling this show and I can't be bothered, think I might call it, Ithonk people should just go if they want too." Which no one did but his enthusiasm and effort put into his performance clearly showed throughout. We left shortly after this due to family arriving and us having the only key usually I would have felt bad but clearly he didn't care about his show. Litterally the worst performance I have seen at the fringe and even worse it is going to be a nightmare convincing the wife to go to anything else wrestling related. Thanks Darius.
