    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Around the time of this movie's release, David Arquette made a string of appearances on WCW television. In lieu of spending any of the money paid to him from WCW, David instead chose to give all of his WCW earnings to the family of deceased wrestler Brian Pillman.
    • Goofs
      Jimmy King is unfairly exiled from WCW for life. Given his status as a megastar wrestler, WCW's rival, and bigger promotion WWF would have accepted him in their company. The exclusion of WWF was deliberate as the film was used as a tool to increase WCW's popularity again.
    • Quotes

      Gordie Boggs: We're going back to basics. To find our heart.

      Sasha: Can I come?

      Gordie Boggs: No, because you don't have one.

    • Crazy credits
      No wrestlers were harmed during the making of this motion picture.
    • Alternate versions
      A shot of the "Oklahoma"-singing cowboy tied to a tree was cut from the video and DVD releases after concern was expressed that it made light of anti-gay violence.

    Good laugh

    We first saw this movie a long time ago and it has several laugh out loud moments. We then rented it again for a couple of our nephews, a few years ago, who really enjoyed it. They were at the time wrestling fans who knew wrestling was mostly fake.

    Last weekend we borrowed it from a friend to watch with those same nephews from a few years ago, and we laughed all the way through it again. The boys no longer watch wrestling, said they are catching new jokes in it this time around.

    The acting is over the top, and bigger than life but so is wrestling! It is a great movie if you want to escape and laugh for an hour and a half.
