Billed as a Pro- Wrestling Event, that happens to be an immersive Rock Musical, The Last Match tells the story of Ben Vengeance, who has been professional wrestling's biggest star for years on the night of his last match. With the weight of his legacy, the future of the wrestling organization, and the prospects of a peaceful retirement with his wife, Jenny, a wrestling star in her own right, on his shoulders, the evening promises to be anything but a quiet ride off into the sunset. "The Last Match", just like the world of pro wrestling, is chock full of colorful, bombastic entertainment. Mixing theater, rock, and live wrestling, this isn't your grandparent's typical musical- unless your grandparents are total rockstars!

"The Last Match is fully immersive e a Pro-Wrestling, Rock Musical written by wrestling fans, for wrestling fans"- Jeremiah James
