Randy is an awkward groundskeeper who is obsessed with professional wrestling. Longing for a sense of belonging with grandiose dreams of becoming a wrestling superstar, Randy is only met with abject humiliation and alienation. A brutal shaming at a local wrestling school pushes Randy over the edge and lights the spark for his blood lust. Donned in wrestling gear and armed with homicidal rage, Randy sets out on a blood soaked rampage to punish those who wronged him. With each ghastly kill, Randy takes a trophy from his tormentors to add to a wrestling title belt crafted from human flesh. The only hope of putting an end to his reign of carnage lies with Becky, an understanding client who is one of the only few to ever show him kindness.

YOUSHOOT was created for those with something to say, and those who would say it fearlessly. YOUSHOOT was created for fans and talent alike, both of whom would fit that bill. And The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez has certainly fulfilled his end of that promise! Manny has plenty to ask about…from the territories he traveled to the dozens of bar fights he seems to enjoy. From his lessons learned as a veteran, to his issues with a fair share of fellow workers, Manny opens up on everything you wanted to know. He makes no apologies for those comments and Lord, there are a fair number of names getting the “You Dick!” Ask anything you want…just stay out of the bar when he comes in and GET THAT INVADER MASK OFF YOUR FACE!!! …and get ready for a shoot… a YOUSHOOT!
