A faded professional wrestler must retire, but finds his quest for a new life outside the ring a dispiriting struggle.
Darren Aronofsky's first film where he is not credited for writing the screenplay.
Randy 'The Ram' Robinson:
Hey, this is supposed to say 'Randy'.
Wayne:
I guess personnel just got it off your W-4.
Randy 'The Ram' Robinson:
WAYNE!... Do I gotta wear it?
Wayne:

Randy 'The Ram' Robinson:
WAYNE!... Can they fix it?
Wayne:
