Jobber

Narrado por: Caitlin Williams

Jobber is a gritty, unflinching look at life behind the curtain of professional wrestling. It’s about pain and pride, survival and self-destruction, and the men who bleed for a sport that may never pay them back. It’s the story of small-town gyms packed with hungry fans, of bodies pushed past their breaking point, and of the fleeting glory that keeps wrestlers chasing one more match—even when it costs them everything.

Joe wrestling name “Krane” was once on the cusp of wrestling stardom. He had the look, the charisma, and the chance to shine under the bright lights of New York. But bad choices, broken bodies, and drderailed everything. Now, years later, Joe is stuck grinding on the independent circuit—cheap gyms, tiny crowds, long drives, and the kind of pay that barely covers gas.

When a hungry young wrestler named Diego steps into his world, Joe sees both a reminder of what he lost and a chance to redeem himself. Together, they tear down small-town rings and light up crowds that shouldn’t care—but do. Their rivalry turns into a bond, and their matches become must-see wars in front of audiences that still believe. But as the spotlight creeps back in, so do the old demons.

Joe knows the truth he’s been running from his whole life: the business will take everything you give it, and then it’ll take more. Glory fades. Bodies break. Friends become ghosts. And yet, for men like Joe and Diego, stepping through the ropes is the only place that still feels like home.
