Watching this movie the other day on cable made me cringe ... badly! It is chock-full of those awful 80's clothes, makeup, hair and music montages (that "Family Guy" and "South Park" regularly make fun of nowadays). The storyline is okay - about how tough the wrestling business is - but this movie just screams cheesy.
I was a die-hard wrestling fan from the mid-80's to the mid-90's and I was thrilled to come across this movie as a teen wrestling fan. I was especially relieved that ... Read More
Rating:  - THIS FILM SHOULD BE ON DVD ...... IT WAS A FILM I GREW UP ON !!!!
PIPER'S FILMS ARE WAY BETTER THEN HOGAN'S ! , HIS FILMS ARE FOR MORE MATURE AND INTELLIGENT MOVIE FANS COMPARED TO HOGAN'S KID FRIENDLY JERK WATER FILMS!
THIS FILM HAS DERK BENEDICT FROM THE "A-TEAM" AND "BATTLE STAR GALACTICA" AS A "OUT OF LUCK" TALLENT AGENT AND PRODUCER LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT BIG SCORE ... AND WHAT HE FINDS IS WRESTLING !
IF YOUR A DEDICATED WRESTLING FAN , YOU SHOULD SPOT THE FOLLOWING :

Rating: - Best movie of the 80's
Non-stop action! Great casting! Wrestling fans everywhere will love this movie. WWF fans will like this as Roddy Piper puts in a great performance with the Tonga Kid. Even fans of the A-team will appreciate seeing Dirk Benedict again. Charles Nelson Reilly and Capt. Lou Albano are also very funny in this great comedy.
