This is good old fashion Rasling. It was like a trip down memory lane to see some of the old wrestlers again. They even had a neighbor of mine in the movie, Dick the Bruiser. If you are looking for WWF or WWE, this is not it. This is real wrestling with out all the soap opera currently on TV and Pay per View.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen...but it features great footage of classic wrestlers including Verne Gagne, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Nick Bockwinkle, Bruiser, Crusher and much more. It you're a diehard wrestling fan who would love to see your favorite wrestlers starring in a movie, add it to your queue. If you want to see a good movie, stay far far away.

Blockbuster SUX! I would LOVE to see this movie, however, Blockbuster can't tell the difference between a 1973 movie and a 2008 one. I keep putting this film in my queue, and they keep sending me the Mickey rourke film instead - EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW!! they shipped the 2008 version all eight times in the sleeve for the 1973 version... {sigh}
