The Wrestler (2008)
7/10
Wrestling is not as fake as they say
12 August 2022
When I was a kid, I really liked watching WWE, I was in disbelief with the blows, I remember liking Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio a lot, having these good memories I started watching this movie with good expectations, hoping that maybe it would be a movie that spoke more behind the scenes or that maybe real fighters would appear.

The film is far from what I expected, we follow the story of Randy, better known by his ringname The Ramp, who is a wrestler who in the distant past was very successful and today lives without money in jobs that are obviously not compatible with his personality perhaps too eccentric. The film does not explain how he ended up in this situation, after all, if he was so famous, it is deduced that he also had money. We only know that due to his life in the ring, he can't keep up with his daughter's growth. With no friends and having a lonely life The Ramp tries again to find himself in life, in love, in family and in the ring.

A good movie, it covers the backstage of a wrestler fight very well, in addition, it has good fight scenes and dramas. Obviously it's not a masterpiece, but it's a good movie.
