Summary

Not many lives are eventful enough to warrant a Hollywood movie made about them. But Zak Zodiac and his family are far from average.

Performing on the wrestling circuit from the age of 10, he grew up on the mat, performing around the country, and wrestling his entire family.

When his sister Paige hit the Big Time at WWE, Zak’s dreams seemed to be shattered and he watched from the sidelines as she became a household name.

But after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson put their story on the big screen, in the movie ‘Fighting With My Family’, Zak found a new purpose, got clean & healthy, and started preparing for one last push for the Big Time.
