Storyline

Rip is the World Wrestling Federation champion who is faithful to his fans and the network he wrestles for. Brell, the new head of the World Television Network, wants Rip to wrestle for his network. Rip refuses and goes back to his normal life. Still looking for a way to raise ratings, Brell initiates a show called "The Battle of the Tough Guys", a violent brawling competition. A mysterious man, Zeus, wins the competition. This gets Brell to use him as an angle to get at Rip. Written by Pat McCurry <ccgrad97@aol.com>

Trivia

The movie was produced by star Hulk Hogan and his boss, World Wrestling Federation head honcho Vince McMahon, only to be distributed by New Line Cinema after completion. When the first draft of the script was turned in, Hogan and McMahon disapproved of it, so they checked into a hotel in Redington Beach, Florida, and stayed up for 72 hours rewriting the script together.

I'm surprised to see this with such a bad rating

OK the acting sucks The Story line isn't the greatest But It is funny. I actually Think this is a good movie for Kids I remember watching this when I was 10 My mate owned this movie. I'm not saying its the best But 3 stars Come-on I gave it 6 out 10 Cause its aim at kids 7 to 13 not adults. It is also very fun to watch.

any way that is my peace, Just think when you vote "would you enjoy this when you were 10 years old." If the answer if yes then

be a bit more generous with your vote If your sure you would think it sucks

fine give it a crap vote
