Taking Satan To The Mat - TRAILER


Trailer for the feature documentary film 'Taking Satan To The Mat' from Wandering Eye Pictures. Produced and Directed by Paul Aldridge and Tom Borden Executive Producer Lawrence Lipman Co-Produced and Edited by Bob Sarles Associate Editor Christina Keating Post Production by Ravin' Films In a small town deep in the heart of America's Bible Belt, Rob "Jesus Freak" Vaughn receives a clear calling from God -- "go forth and serve the Lord by creating a unique ministry." With the fervent blessing and financial support of his loving wife, Anisa, the Christian Wrestling Federation (CWF) is born. Within weeks of its heavenly conception, God delivers Jesus Freak with twelve wrestling disciples. With divine guidance and "God's hand firmly guiding this ministry", the CWF quickly rises to promising heights -- coast-to-coast bookings, media coverage, financial viability and the lure of a cable TV program. But just as the dream of the big time is within reach, Satan and the forces of darkness attack the CWF with the goal of destroying God's grappling creation. When all appears lost and the CWF faces certain destruction, "Jesus Freak" once again puts his wavering faith and fate in the Lord's hand for one more round of "Taking Satan to the Mat".
