Wonderful telling of the reality of professional wrestling

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2008)

Writing this review write after viewing the film. This film is a perfect telling of behind pro wrestling. As being a huge fan of the sport all my life and people insulting me and laughing when i tell them i am a fan of pro wrestling they laugh at me and tell me its nothing but fake garbage. I've always known the risks and how this stuff had been staged. People i know after viewing this film who thought pro wrestling was fake garbage before now have a greater respect for the sport. I'm glad a film like this has been made and it's a wonderful drama into the world of it all. Micky Rourke does a terrific job of playing a has-been wrestler. This is certainly one of the best films of the year and a new favorite of mine.
