Yes I heard those other wrestling movies were pretty bad.  We need more reviews of that type of crap :)  The funniest wrestling-related thing I have ever seen was called Stranglemania or something like that - it was basically barbwire/glass matches in Japan with "Cactus Sack, Yama-nama-numi, and Drunk Terry Flunk" with overdubbed commentary from the Insane Clown Posse.  It's pretty funny stuff.

They have some wrestling related stuff in the movie Big Money Husltas, which stars them, "Rerun" from What's Happening, Harland Williams (Kenny in Half-Baked), and Mick Foley.  I've only seen the wrestling part of the movie, which is Mick as "Cactus Sack", and he keeps popping out all his catchphrases, then stops and says "Oh wait, I'm not him today" or "Oh wait, that's copyrighted."  It's on Youtube.

Hot Topic has it for like, 30 bucks, but I'm not gonna plop down 30 some odd dollars for a movie starring Insane Clown Posse.

What's the one where Henry Winkler plays a Gorgeous George-type character?  That was a pretty good rasslin' movie, as it showed his struggle to come up with a bankable character --

I haven't seen that thing in years.  Forgot Winkler even made it.

There's another really good wrestling movie called ALL THE MARBLES  (1981) about a pair of young lady wrestlers trying to made it big in the harsh world of pro wrestling that's actually pretty darn good and more accurate than many. And another movie about a young lady wrestler trying to make her way in the wrestling world entitled BELOW THE BELT (1980) is surprisingly well pulled off too and IMHO underrated. There's also a cheesy ladies wrestling movie from 1989 entitled AMERICAN ANGELS: BAPTISM OF BLOOD. Truth be told, I enjoyed all 3 of these quite a bit more than I expected I would.

Haven't heard of any of these ones.  You ever see that company WOW from like, 5 years ago?
