Macedonio “The Mace” Guerra is a middle rank wrestler who may have discovered his ticket to the big time: a charismatic, trash-talking Indian kid from Brooklyn whom he recruits as the perfect foil to the all-American champion, Chad Deity. But when their rivalry is used to exploit racial stereotypes in the name of ratings, all three men find themselves fighting for much more than the championship title.
What Is the Story of The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity?
Since he was a child, Bronx-born fast talker Macedonio Guerra has had one thing on his mind: wrestling. Not your average, high school varsity team wrestling, mind you. Guerra is a patron of the highly televised, multimillion dollar phenomenon known as THE Wrestling, in all its pay-per-view glory. Guerra’s childhood dreams come true when he’s hired by THE Wrestling, though he quickly learns that life on the bottom rung of the entertainment ladder isn’t all its cracked up to be—especially when it means suffering the daily insults and wisecracks of the wrestler at the top of the ladder, Chad Deity. When he stumbles upon a charismatic young athlete with the gift of gab during a basketball game in Red Hook, Brooklyn, Guerra thinks he may have found the antidote to THE Wrestling’s stale plotlines and his own stalled career. But his protégé, Vigneshwar Paduar, has aspirations of his own—and his attitude may get all parties involved knocked out of the ring.
