‘Dark Match’ Trailer Stars Pro-Wrestler Chris Jericho as Sinister Cult Leader

In a chilling twist, imagine if professional wrestling wasn’t just intense with frequent brutal takedowns, but instead, it became a fight for survival where wrestlers aimed to eliminate each other. That unsettling scenario is brought to the screen in the forthcoming horror film titled “Dark Match“, starring pro-wrestler and actor from “Terrifier” – Chris Jericho. The recently unveiled trailer offers a glimpse into the gruesome wrestling matches and the thrilling action that awaits in this unique production, set to premiere on Shudder on January 31.

In terms of rephrasing:

Jericho is an ideal choice for the lead wrestler in this gritty wrestling movie, given that his distinctive wrestling character goes by “The Painmaker,” a chilling amalgamation of a serial killer and a wrestler. The film Dark Match delivers on both wrestling and horror enthusiasts’ desires: it features gore, fractured bones, fire, fists coated in shards of glass, and an enigmatic dark ruler. The trailer’s violence is as over-the-top as the catchphrases. In addition to the high levels of violence within the ring, the trailer suggests a deeper, sinister dimension to the wrestling matches.
