    They never should have cast a method actor as Johnny Handsome.

    Fun Fact: Wrestle Jam '88, the Nintendo game played by Randy the Ram in the film, never existed: Until producers requested a fully functional game for the film.


    I could be wrong, but isn't that the plot to The Last Starfighter?

    Man, Mickey Rourke looks terrible in that photo. It must be the jet lag.


    Yeah, the jet lag for sure.

    This NYTimes piece is a real Ballbreaker.


    Hint to freelance writers: Go to your local V.F.W.'s depressing weekend wrestling spectacle, find the most mangled looking performer possible, ask him about "The Wrestler", then write 800 words on it. This story is eminently recyclable.


    So you're saying the movie wasn't 100% fiction?! And here I thought The Wrestler was a creative masterpiece...


    /Wow, Jerry Lynn is reflected in the movie even more than I thought before it came out.

    Mr. Rechart, 36, who performs under a name that cannot be printed in this newspaper


    Elsewhere in the paper, you can find the scores for the latest spring training base[redacted] games and foot[redacted] free agency news.

    A move went wrong and I got dropped on my head.

    It's not enough that Jericho has to JOB to Triple H all the time, now he's going to have to lay down for Mickey Rourke?!


    Sigh, I wish Jericho and Christian were both in TNA, they would be featured and treated better there.

    Story works fine without CC (actually makes more sense with Matt as the jealous brother). They can save him until they have something good planned

    The fight scene in "They Live" was more realistic than any WWE match I ever saw.

    This is just like when Keanu Reeves started getting into bar fights to show off his "kung fu" circa 1999.
