      Switched it off after 30 mins, it bored me senseless... I was also on a flight home from Toronto and quite grumpy so I might give it another shot.

                Size of the screen has no bearing on this excellent flick.

                Throw a Marvel Comics movie ( Spiderman and the likes ) for that ....
                I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                  It's well worth picking up a copy. I enjoyed it.

                                                  I loved it. I'm fascinated with what happens to a lot of those pro wrestlers and people like that when they leave the limelight and have to return to a normal life.

                                                      I liked it. The end was a little cheesy, but the character portrait was pretty good.

                                                          The thing that really amazed me about The Wrestler is the accuracy in which they portrayed the industry. My old roommate was a wrestler for the original ECW, and I used to travel with him to shows a lot on weekends when I wasn't working (this was late '90's up to early 2000). ECW used to bring in a lot of the old WWE and WCW names to put over their talent, and it was really sad at times to see guys that I idolized as a kid basically penniless. These were guys that were making millions in the '80's, and they never saved a penny of it.

                                                          Pro wrestlers are paid as independent contractors, and more often than not the older names ran afoul of the IRS. That doesn't even take into the account the massive amount of money these guys spend on Vicodin, Soma, and other painkillers and muscle relaxers, on top of living a rockstar lifestyle.

                                                          Speaking of my old roommate, Big Vision Entertainment, who produce a lot of pro wrestling DVD's, are shopping around a reality show of his life after pro wrestling in which he goes back to his original profession, bail enforcement/bounty hunting. I really hope some network picks it up...

In this movie he was broke and living in a tiny little apartment and wrestling at little shows in school gyms or wherever in front of maybe 50 or 100 people. There were a bunch of guys who I recognized from the 80's who were all in the same boat. At one point they were going to do a show at a gym and it got shut down because there was no legal promoter so Atlas spends the day jumping through some hoops to get a special promoters license so the show can go on. Eventually he does, but they have to move the venue and the end up putting on the show for about 30 people.

These guys were pretty short sighted when they were making big money and it looks like a lot of them were never able to make the transition into a normal life afterward. You hear a lot of stories of drug overdoses and suicides and stuff like that.

It was when WWE developed the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin character, WCW had the NWO and Goldberg, and both companies were doing huge ratings on Monday night TV every week.

                                                                        Oddly enough, Tony Atlas is back working with WWE again, working as an on screen manager and also doing public appearances for the company. I think Vince McMahon has a soft spot for Atlas, because every time he is down and out McMahon comes to the rescue and gives him a job.

                                                                        I think the whole pro wrestling business in general is in for some tough times ahead, as they are having a really tough time developing new stars. Back in the day a collegiate amateur wrestler, a college football player that wasn't quite good enough for the NFL, or any of a number of other high level athletes ended up gravitating to pro wrestling to make a living when they had no other options. Now those same guys have the option to train and try to make a living in MMA, and it really shrinks the talent pool to try and develop new pro wrestling stars...

My old roommate was a wrestler for the original ECW, and I used to travel with him to shows a lot on weekends when I wasn't working (this was late '90's up to early 2000). ECW used to bring in a lot of the old WWE and WCW names to put over their talent, and it was really sad at times to see guys that I idolized as a kid basically penniless. These were guys that were making millions in the '80's, and they never saved a penny of it.

                                                                              Pro wrestlers are paid as independent contractors, and more often than not the older names ran afoul of the IRS. That doesn't even take into the account the massive amount of money these guys spend on Vicodin, Soma, and other painkillers and muscle relaxers, on top of living a rockstar lifestyle.

                                                                              Speaking of my old roommate, Big Vision Entertainment, who produce a lot of pro wrestling DVD's, are shopping around a reality show of his life after pro wrestling in which he goes back to his original profession, bail enforcement/bounty hunting. I really hope some network picks it up...

It was when WWE developed the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin character, WCW had the NWO and Goldberg, and both companies were doing huge ratings on Monday night TV every week.

                                                                                Oddly enough, Tony Atlas is back working with WWE again, working as an on screen manager and also doing public appearances for the company. I think Vince McMahon has a soft spot for Atlas, because every time he is down and out McMahon comes to the rescue and gives him a job.

                                                                                I think the whole pro wrestling business in general is in for some tough times ahead, as they are having a really tough time developing new stars. Back in the day a collegiate amateur wrestler, a college football player that wasn't quite good enough for the NFL, or any of a number of other high level athletes ended up gravitating to pro wrestling to make a living when they had no other options. Now those same guys have the option to train and try to make a living in MMA, and it really shrinks the talent pool to try and develop new pro wrestling stars...

                                                                                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.

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...

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.
                                                                                                  I've read quite a few, but far and away the best one was Mick Foley's first book and autobiography, Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks. 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...
