Card Subject to Change is a feature-length documentary that goes behind the curtain of independent professional wrestling, following a group of wrestlers chasing their dreams far from the bright lights and big money of the major leagues. The film explores the physical punishment, personal sacrifice, financial uncertainty, and relentless ambition required to survive on the independent circuit, where performers balance day jobs and everyday lives with the pursuit of success inside the ring. Featuring Kevin Sullivan, Sabu, Trent Acid, Kamala, Necro Butcher, Lacey Von Erich, Rhett Titus, and Johnny Falco, among others, the documentary captures a raw, unvarnished side of professional wrestling and the people willing to endure almost anything for it.

[REVIEWS]
“One of the most revealing and heart rendering feature documentaries that has ever been based on the wrestling industry. “ - Canoe Sports
“The documentary Card Subject to Change takes a hard look at the world of independent wrestling. It is a cold and bitter reminder of just what this business can do to someone when they do not keep their focus…The film does not attempt to admonish or glorify wrestling, but rather shows what the underbelly of the business is like. And it certainly does that well…this is just as good as Beyond the Mat, maybe better. It really goes in depth as to how the indys can lead to success, or despair.” - Bleacher Report
“Four Suplexes [out of Five]” - Pro Wrestling Illustrated
"With it's eclectic blend of wrestling legends, fallen stars, future hopefuls, disillusioned dreamers, and one hardcore, backwoods philosopher, 'Card Subject To Change' is an absorbing look at the journey - both up and down -the pro-wrestling ladder of success." - Mick Foley (WWE Hall of Famer)
"Card Subject To Change is as real as REAL can be! The highs & lows of Independent Wrestling is felt big time in this movie! " - Taz (AEW, WWE & ECW Legend )
