    If you're reading this review, you're probably a fan of backyard wresting, or "wrestlecrap" If you're a fan of backyard wrestling, don't get this movie, the fight scenes are more Power Rangers than backyard wrestling. If you're a fan of wrestlecrap or bad movies in general, boy, is this the movie for you. It has bad acting, a bad plot, a bad love story, bad fighting, and bar none the worste "musical score" (basically some grunge rocker screaming "BACKYARD DOGS. BACKYARD DOGS" everytime the scene changes), I have ever seen. Hell, the story alone makes this the worste movie I ever saw, the writers can't seem to decide if backyard wrestling matches are real or staged.
