While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Back in the day classic wrestling! Back during the WCW/WWE (WWF) wrestling wars. The two companies battled for Professional wrestling supremacy. Big bucks, and big scripts! Nitro lead the way with a new wave of wrestling! Creative scripts with the N W O, Ravens Flock, Sting and company set a new tone! Nitro always had a major turning point or revenge match. I loved the spray point body imprint on the mat for the rest of the show after each N W O match! PURE CLASSIC. Hulk turned evil, Raven wined, and Sting became a new character. Tori the evil women tried to manipulate the wrestling world along with the Outsiders. Add the innovation of Raven's hard core matches, and Raven rules with folding metal chair in the middle of the ring made me laugh. The interviews, with Bishop, and other commentators just added the perfect spice. Loved how Big Kev would jump into the commentator desk and put that huge arm around the commentators an intimidate the booth. Pure Wrestling gold. Eight out of ten stars.

To the writer who claimed that the Genius Eric Bischoff breathed new life into the stars who were screwed by Vince, Not all of them were "screwed". Sure, Bret was..but his WCW carrer was a joke. He went up & down from face to heel with no explanation. Hogan screwed Vince in 93, when he agreed to do a job to Bret, then said he wouldn't. So Vince didn't want him around anymore. Guys like Savage, Hall & Nash left cuz they wanted more money. So don't go giving ol Eric all the credit. As far as the ratings go, WCW didn't win one damn weeks worth of rating in all of 99 or 2000! The last time they won a Monday nite war was sometime in 98. And trust me, if WCW was so freaking awesome, Vince wouldn't have bought them, they would stiill be around today. The company lost over a Hundred Million Dollars in its last year, and NO one wanted to buy it, thats the only reason Vince picked it up. SO he could bury what was left into the ground.Anyway, I'm ranting here. I just wanted to let those who "think" WCW could do no wrong, that they, in the end, did Everything wrong, and totally fell apart.and thats all there is to say about it =)

Look. WWF/WWE fans. Do you think the Media got the Idea Wrestling is fake by watching WWF/WWE programming and brainwashing loads of people (My friends) to hate wrestling? No. They watched this crap and claimed it was fake. It's not fake in WWE. That ring hurts. I went to a sports show and Saw an official ring. I tapped it with my hand expecting something soft and fluffy. That thing is hard. It's just springs underneath, the top is hard. WCW got washed up old wrestlers to fight. They looked SOOO fake. NwO was a DX rip-off. Hulk Hogan went there because WWF wanted people that wrestled incredibly well, and WCW didn't care if they had Dog-Doo on a stick facing a leaf, they just hired things and expected people to be entertained (No Offense, WCW). There were some amazing people back in WCW that came to WWE/WWF because they had GREAT talent. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrerro, Perry Saturn, Stone Cold, Undertaker, etc. It tried to rip-off WWF so much. WWF had the ringside Tables, So WCW copied, they didnt put it in the exact same place, but they copied the idea in general. Rey Mysterio should have came to WWF/WWE way sooner. He is incredible. WCW was killing his career. Now that he has joined WWE, His career shot right up. WCW should have died 4 years before It was started. Thank god it's dead. DEAD FOR GOOD. R.I.P WCW.

watching this reminds me of the WWf when i watched it as a schoolboy: the arenas they use are pretty second-rate, even more so when compared to the magnificence of the modern WWf. the wrestlers themselves lack any charm or personality on the whole, and the whole thing comes off as backwater hicksville.and it is also full of old WWf wrestlers who just can't make the grade in the WWf anymore, trying to become big fish in a little pond.personally, i find the WWf more satisfying on every level than this trash.
