The Shine (professional wrestling slang/jargon) - This is the initial struggle. The Shine is where the performers establish that, in a fair fight, the good guy should win. Making it in the world of professional wrestling is hard. Real hard. The promoters are crooks, the pay is lousy, the fans hate everything, and everyone is out to stab you in the back. You'd think that being able to do magic, real actual honest to God bend the laws of physics magic, would help with that. You'd be wrong. This is the story of Amazing Grace as she tries to make it big in the wrestling biz, and maybe save the world along the way as well. After all, who did Harry Potter ever beat?
