    I am not a wrestling fan but loved this movie. It is really about the family life of a popular wrestler. There is so much intrigue between Bret's wrestling family, his son, his marriage and the business of wrestling. It is almost a story by Shakspeare full of loaltiy, betrayal... read more and eventual tradjedy (jis death happended after this film though). Just awsome... I would reccomend this to everyone.
