Director Vlad Yudin Begins Production on Feature Documentary Spotlighting International Wrestling Syndicate Leading Up To Its 25th Anniversary Super-event
The Generation Iron Network has announced the production of the new original feature documentary exploring the hardcore underground world of the International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS). North America’s longest-running professional wrestling promotion company, IWS is known for being one of hardcore wrestling’s biggest standouts globally.


Generation Iron’s Vlad Yudin will direct the feature as the Montreal, Canada-based syndicate leads up its 25th anniversary celebration super-event. The film will provide an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into IWS while also chronicling the 25 year history of the independent but vastly popular promotion. In celebration of the milestone, the film will culminate with exclusive footage from IWF’s wrestling death match and super-event.
Yudin comments, “We’ve produced a lot of really cool and out of the box docs over the last few years, but the one about IWS Hardcore is going to be insane. We’re absolutely excited to bring the IWS story to the world.”
The film will be produced by Generation Iron and Vladar Film’s Vlad Yudin and Edwin Mejia Jr., along with executive producers IWS founder Manny Eleftheriou and executive Andrew Stott.
Eleftheriou adds, “IWS isn’t just another pro wrestling show – it’s a party. The live atmosphere is unlike any other, and we can’t wait to bring the noise to a global audience.”
The film is slated for a worldwide release in Q2 2025.
