Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAround the time of this movie's release, David Arquette made a string of appearances on WCW television. In lieu of spending any of the money paid to him from WCW, David instead chose to give all of his WCW earnings to the family of deceased wrestler Brian Pillman.
- GoofsJimmy King is unfairly exiled from WCW for life. Given his status as a megastar wrestler, WCW's rival, and bigger promotion WWF would have accepted him in their company. The exclusion of WWF was deliberate as the film was used as a tool to increase WCW's popularity again.

Featured review
Very Funny
Even though I'm not a very big WCW fan, I still thought it had some very funny parts. The movie itself of course was a bit lame, but I guess it was made for laughs. I'm surprised they made this movie about WCW and not WWF? I mean WWF is a lot more popular than WCW. I though it would have been way better if it was based on WWF and not WCW. But everything else of the movie was decent. I'm a huge wrestling fan and I love wrestling. So whatever movie is based on wrestling, I Like! This movie deserves a B+
