Mighty Maulers

Response to the found book 'Mighty Maulers', a book detailing profiles of american wrestlers of the early 90s. The book brought back the nostalgic feelings of being 9 years old and re-enacting them signature moves seen on T.V with friends

I wanted to bring this same exciting element of play to the project by creating a social event. Allowing people to transform into there wrestler alter ego's and wreck havoc in theatrical immersion.

The event supplied a booth for profile pictures of wrestlers under the title 'Mighty Maulers', a make shift cardboard wrestling ring for the contenders and much more.
