It's no secret I grew up watching pro wrestling or that I have a soft spot in my heart for it, so any time it's featured on screen, I'm happy. With Dark Match, it's the key component of the film, and in that sense, it works quite well. In fact, as far as lower budget indie horrors go, it does it's job admirably. Where its challenges lie is in the muted characters. Wrestlers (especially throwback ones) often have larger than life personas, but everyone in Dark Match's gimmicks are fairly tame and reserved. This limits the film's ability to fully utilize its cast, Steven Ogg and Chris Jericho especially.
