Review: Ewan Mc Donald
David Arquette and Scott Caan are Gordie and Sean, Portaloo cleaners and best pals who live in a Wyoming village where watching the Monday night pro-wrestling fights on TV is their only excitement.
They get tickets to the King's latest title defence, little realising that it's fixed. Promoter Titus Sinclair (Joe Pantoliano) has declared that the King will go down to Diamond Dallas, and by the end of the fight the loser has been kicked senseless and out of wrestling, tagged a hopeless drunk.
When Gordie and Sean's truck overturns on the way home,they take this as a sign that they must leave town, find the King and mastermind his comeback. They enlist the once-great, now ageing Sal Bandini (Martin Landau) as a trainer.
Well, a lot of people watch WWF, so this is one for them ...
