The Wrestler (1974)

I wish I could get a copy of this

[10/10 · 11 August 2000]

I saw this when it came out in 1973 in a theater. I was about 11 then and enjoyed wrestling. A classic good vs evil tale with a couple mild twists. It wasn't the best plot/acting/presentation but somehow the combination worked. If you like old school 'rassling' then you will enjoy this movie.

P.S. I wonder how Ed Asner got involved in this (he was a pretty big star back then)
