Everything about this film was bad, the whole premise of the film was awful from the start though…

Another guilty pleasure. As a wrestling fan, it is a great look back at the awfulness that was WCW…

As World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was going bankrupt, they needed to come up with other ways of earning money, and decided to jump into…

Being a huge wrestling fan for my entire life , I probably have been very biased when it comes to this movie…

Wrestling fans should get a (super)kick out of it, but don't expect everybody else to mark out…

Funny movie take it for what it is, it wasn't made to win an oscar it was made for wrestling fans…

Kind of funny, one of those movies you watch when you got nothing else to watch…

Great movie if your an actual wrestling fan…

Screw you Arnofsky, this is the best wrestling movie ever! I can quote the whole thing…
