Very real

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2009)

I tried to get my wife to go se this but she just flat out refused. I guess I should have known by the way she lokks at me when I'm watching RAW. I've known a couple of wrestlers in my day and I thought this was a real authentic look at the abuse they take. The only difference was that Mickey Rourke is a better actor than they are. The people that think its all fake need to see this movie! While the outcome may be scripted the pain sure isn't! I thought Mickey's performance was great. The way he played this guy who just couldn't do anythin right except wrestling.
I didn't really like the reality show feel of the movie but then again maybe I did it made it seem very real!
