This got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes... basically unheard of. I think it was deserving of it.. it can appeal to anybody. i'm not a wrestling fan, but i was taken. it's a story more about the human condition and dedication than wrestling as a sport.
unlike you psychokandy, ive been wathcing wrestling(and going to events) since i was a yougn kid. I still watch WWE, but am more into leagues like ROH.
i am on a couple wrestling message boards, and i can tell you that the entire wrestling community has been waiting for this movie since we heard about it. im happy to know necro butcher is in it. He's crazy...type that guys name in to youtube, you will be amased and likely disgusted.
if you wnat gtood info on this movie, check out a wrerstling forum, my suggestion is the ROH official forum
For some reason when I saw the title I was thinking Mickey Rooney
I like Mickey Rourke. He had disappeared until he did a movie called Spun, in which he was fantastic.
He is a pretty good actor in his genre.
Spun was very good.
Johnny Handsome was a good one too.
