      Audience Member Saw it in an Indy movie channel. Story a bit too pushed, however, interesting to see younger known wrestlers at the time... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Some fun moments, but all and all a very boring bad movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Acting's atrocious, the wrestling is mediocre at best, but it's an interesting time capsule for fans of old school pro wrestling Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member not the mickey rourke movie! this one features more cameos than will fit in this space, creatively protects the scripted nature of the industry, and almost makes me respect awa booking. almost. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A must for wrestling fans, especially those who remember the AWA. Features Verne Gagne, Billy Robinson, Dusty Rhodes, Lord Blears, Harold Oddjob Sakata, Bruiser & Crusher, Vince McMahon Sr. (!), and a lot of other big names from the '70's, including a very young Ric Flair.
