“Rush of adrenaline”: The divine nature of Canada’s independent pro wrestling scene

While a devout group gathering regularly during evenings at a church in Cambridge, Ont. might not seem to be out of the ordinary, this group comes together to worship an unexpected idol… professional wrestling.

Bringing together an unlikely roster of characters, fans and performers alike get together to celebrate the dramatic battles of up and coming stars such as Rainbow Brite wrestler Laurel CassieD or relatable Tyler Thomas.

Some grapplers who entered the ring that night are working to fulfill a childhood dream while others are trying to make it to the big leagues or travel to places like Mexico or Japan. Others are just enjoying the community they have found.

“In the back before I come out, I'm very nervous. And when I come through the curtain, it kind of all goes away," says Cassandra Serafini, who wrestles under the name Laurel CassieD. "I feel like coming through the curtain is when I become Laurel CassiD, the Rainbow Brite wrestler. And there's nothing like it, really. It's like a rush of adrenaline."
