TNA Wrestling and Catch 22 Entertainment have teamed up to kick off “Bound for Glory 2010” weekend with an exclusive midnight screening to Kurt Angle’s new movie “Beyond the Mat” Friday, October 8 at the R/C Ocean Walk 10 in Daytona, Florida.

Only fans who have purchased the “Bound For Glory 2010” VIP Weekend Package will be granted admission to this screening.

Set against the backdrop of a high school varsity wrestling team, “Beyond the Mat” is the coming-of-age tale of Aaron Miller, whose friendship is put on the line when his best friend robs Aaron of his spot on the varsity wrestling team in order to stage a rematch with a cross-town rival. Aaron is torn between his loyalty to his friend and his commitment to his sport. Fueled by the desire to succeed and the need to prove himself, Aaron embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

Kurt Angle gives a punishing performance as Coach Kamen.

What’s more, “it has a great story that goes beyond wrestling itself,” notes Angle.
