If you are a true wrestling fan then this film needs to be on your MUST SEE list this holiday season. It's a story about a washed up 80s wrestler (Mickey Rouke) who tries to continue in the wrestling industry despite his ailing health. Not only is his career on the ropes, the relationship with his daughter is at its breaking point.

The concept of the movie is not too different from Jake "the Snake" Robert's own tulmultuous story. Many of the wrestlers from the 80s, because of the lifestyle and the hardships of the industry have either passed away or are living day by day. That's why I see this film as being very imformative and eye opening to everyone who do not truly understand what the industry can truly do to someone.

Critically acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky has put together a real, thought felt wrestling story that can bring this genre the respect it deserves. Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think.
