Under the tutelage of promoter, Cowboy Ace Foley, Wade O’Ryan joins the Florida wrestling territory in the early 1980’s. Whilst the action between the ropes may be considered ‘fake’, the injuries, endless travel and the lies he has to tell to protect that secret are not. Taking on the name ‘Orion the Hunter’, Wade’s relentless pursuit of the coveted World Championship will send him across the globe, but it may very well cost him more than he is willing to admit, including a burgeoning romance with a copper haired beauty from Tallahassee. The Canvas tells Wade’s story as he traverses the wrestling landscape, all while attempting to reconcile his life at home with his life on the road as an athlete and performer.
