Overview

Aging wrestler Randy “The Ram” Robinson is long past his prime but still ready and rarin’ to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a particularly brutal beating, however, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a serious relationship with a long-in-the-tooth stripper, and tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. But he can’t resist the lure of the ring and readies himself for a comeback.

Viewing Notes

I was at The Glen 10 theater to see The Wrestler on the big screen. What more needs to be said about this flick? Mickey Rourke is awesome; Marisa Tomei is hot. another definite recommended flick. And the best soundtrack I’ve heard in a long time! (but curious as to why RATT didn’t give the rights for the original tunes?!)
