When a struggling wrestling promoter seeks to revitalize the business with a classier product, he is met with opposite from "sports-entertainment" enthusiasts as he wrestles with the absurd, the egotistical, and the muscle-bound prime donnas backstage — risking everything to bring back the golden days of professional wrestling in the United States.
This logline is too long. The inciting incident is described as an action taken by choice of the MC rather than external force that makes the MC want and or need to take action to fix.

This logline is too long.
The inciting incident is described as an action taken by choice of the MC rather than external force that makes the MC want and or need to take action to fix.
The MC’s goal “…to bring back the golden days of professional wrestling…” seams un motivated and not personal, according to the currant draft of the logline. There are many action descriptions that are hard to visualize which makes the logline vague.
I suggest breaking down the story into it’s bare components; Main Character, motivation, goal, obstacle, antagonist. Then strip away all redundant descriptions and re writing the logline to reflect these more succinctly.
E.g:
After a wrestling promoter’s last client is offered a lucrative contract by a large company he must unit all the old wrestling stars into one show to reignite wrestling’s popularity and save the sport.
Hope this helps.

This idea sounds really interesting I find the notion of uploading a consciousness to a computer good subject matter. It relates to the concept of immortality, the search for the fountain of youth is prevalent in myth and ferry-tails alike. Also narrowing the gap between intelligent life forms and technology relates to evolution and the future of life on earth. Point is that this idea presents great thematic potential which is rare and a huge bonus for a logline.
There have been many books and films that have dealt with these ideas in the past and I don’t think that as a viewing and reading audience our interest in them has has been worn out. Steven King’s The Lawnmower Man, Tron and The Matrix to name a few. So perhaps a fresh take on the old tropes could be made more interesting.
Instead of the story taking place inside the “computer virtual world” it could take place in the real world. Perhaps the uploaded consciousness of the man has to communicate with real people through their mobile devices and work with them to solve the problem. Perhaps the problem could be a jealous human that wants immortality rather than a super artificial intelligence that wants to destroy the MC or man kind for one reason or another; Agent Smith or Skynet etc…
As it stands in its current draft though the logline structure is flawed as most of it is spent describing the inciting incident not the story. The antagonist as the original A.I is not clearly enough described am not sure what “…the original A.I…” means as appose to the un original, one of many, the master A.I, etc…
The reason for him being uploaded is irrelevant in the logline a computer is enough no need for it to be super now days. Best to describe the way in which he needs to defeat the antagonist so we know what MC main action will be throughout the story.
Hope this helps.
