Here's ringside entertainment for those who think TV wrestling is too intellectual and restrained…

Likable performances from its young cast and a better-than-average script add spark to this formulaic fairy tale and make the wrestling mania…

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

This one is silly and forgettable, but I still kinda enjoyed it. Helps if you ever watched wrestling in the 80s and 90s. For wrestling fans only…

Corny for sure but has a subtle charm and gets better the second viewings. Lots of wrestlers in it too for fans of that…

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

I have been a professional wrestling fan for 24 years, have been to numerous shows (mostly WWF/WWE), met many top stars of the business and…

Great movie if your an actual wrestling fan…

It's a truly strange coupling of mooning romanticism and rank stupidity that fairly screams, Teenage America, we love your money…

This is yet another example of people's crazy hatred of certain Movies.This Movie was not that bad at all…
