Storyline

Two hotshot LAPD cops get in hot water after breaking up a fight at a local bar. They get suspended from the force and have to find a way to pay the rent. First they try construction work, then stripping, but newspaper reporter Janice Edwards has a really good idea...professional wrestling. A rival manager, Lord Percy, does not like her new team, The Boston Bad Guys (the cops) and will do anything he can to keep them from appearing on the same card as his team, the Kremlin Crushers. Still, the Bad Guys want to get revenge on the Krushers.

Good Natured Fun

This came out when the Wrestlemania craze was taking hold. It's a low budget comedy about two dopey cops (Baldwin and Jolly) who get suspended from the job and decide to take jobs as wrestlers to pay the bills. Adam Baldwin is a good actor and though the film is beneath him, it's nice to see him in a lead role. The wrestling scenes aren't that impressive but the film moves along quickly and contains some decent laughs. Michelle Nicastaro is appealing eye candy as the love interest whom both the guys take a shine to. The film is also an amusing time capsule for those who grew up in the 80s. If you're willing to put your brain on hold, check it out!
