Goofs

The title belt worn by "Hulk Hogan" at the '80s party was in fact the WCW World title, known as the "Big Gold Belt". This would not have been the belt worn by Hogan in the time period as he was with the WWF and their world title was the famous "Winged Eagle".

what a waste of time

I thought the first movie was bad... but this, this is the definition of a horrible movie, terrible acting with a stupid story and awful humor, this crap didn't even make me laugh once. I advise you to not watch this movie ever in your life unless you want to throw away an hour and a half of your life. Adam Sandler just can't make funny movies anymore. Do not watch this waste of time. I remember watching Kevin James on the king of queens and that is a really funny show, I really don't know why he is also constantly in movies that aren't funny. I guess its a way to make a quick buck in the industry, stick to real comedies, like This Is The End. Its a very funny movie :) Don't get me wrong, old adam sandler movies are funny, but he doesn't have the touch anymore.
