Capturing the Energy of Tapped Wrestling Federation’s Holiday Hangover
Filming the Holiday Hangover event on January 3rd was an absolute rush, and a reminder of just how powerful live wrestling can be when storytelling, athleticism, and crowd energy collide. Hosted by Tapped Wrestling Federation, the event brought together over a dozen wrestlers from across British Columbia, each contributing their own style, character, and intensity to the night.
From the moment the first match began, the energy inside Site B was electric. Site B proved to be the perfect setting, intimate enough to feel every impact, every reaction, and every shift in momentum, while still allowing the scale of the performances to breathe. The connection between the wrestlers and the audience was immediate and sustained throughout the night.
What stood out most while filming was the level of storytelling woven into the action. This was not just a series of matches, but a sequence of narratives unfolding in real time. Rivalries, comebacks, power struggles, and moments of surprise were all expressed through movement, pacing, and crowd engagement. From a production standpoint, it made for dynamic, fast-paced coverage where no two moments felt the same.
The athletes delivered nonstop action, combining technical skill with raw physicality, while the crowd responded in kind, amplifying every high-risk move and dramatic turn. Capturing that feedback loop between performers and audience was a highlight of the shoot and a testament to the strength of the independent wrestling scene in the province.
The Holiday Hangover event was a high-energy showcase of what Tapped Wrestling Federation does best, blending performance, community, and spectacle into a night that felt both polished and deeply grassroots. It was a privilege to document an event that so clearly reflects the passion and momentum behind independent wrestling in British Columbia.
