one of my fave movie this year aside of slumdog millionaire and district 9

Although its story consisted of several tired formulas stitched together what made that film work was the kickass performance of Mickey Rourke and Marissa Tomei.

Have you read any of the books about pro wresting? I haven't and was curious if they are worth the time. I haven't watched it since I was about 15 and that was when Hogan and The Macho Man and Jake The Snake were big, but it is an intriguing business and the people that do it for a living and their lives are often fascinating.

There is also a pretty good, and somewhat sad, documentary called "Beyond The Mat"

I used to do the website for Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

The old school guys definately did not plan for the future.

Mickey Rourke looks like a sack of vomit now, but I already have this on my must see queue. It's a shame what he's done to himself, but I guess it worked to his advantage for this flick.

I wonder how Mickey's going to do in Ironman 2... he did well in this movie.

Totally awesome movie, excellent acting by everyone involved.

New Jack from the original ECW. As a matter of fact he had a pretty big roll in the "Beyond The Mat" documentary. We were quite the fucking odd couple as roommates...he was a bald black dude that played a gang member character (although he was very different in real life) and I was a tall long haired tattooed guy that ran porn stores, but he is a great guy and we had a lot of fun...

If you don't know Mick Foley he is most famous for playing the characters Cactus Jack and Mankind. He is such an unconventional wrestling star, and he took such an odd path to get to the top, that his book is really hard to put down, not to mention he wrote it himself (no ghostwriter) and it is almost 600 pages. Trust me, if you get a chance you should read it, and you won't be disappointed...:thumbsup

i loved it...it makes you want to slit your wrists...but great art should make you feel something...it accomplishes that by far

No shit! I used to love watching New Jack and Kronos when they formed The Gangstanators...too bad about the Kulas Mass Transit incident...when I saw the staple gun in The Wrestler, I immediately thought of New Jack...

I liked the movie. The ending was a little predictable.

Wow so much praise.. I'm gonna have to check this movie out

Very Interesting movie
