This movie was so goddamn ludicrous that I have multiple joke Letterboxd reviews. Pick your favorite below;
1. This felt like a Vince Russo fever dream and a Jim Cornette nightmare
2. The No Count Bar is probably what Jim Cornette thinks every indie wrestling show is like
3. With the way he reacted to being called a “jock-ass”, you would think Hulk Hogan would’ve been more sensitive to using slurs
4. If this movie taught me one thing, it’s that the sure fire way to a girl’s heart is to throw plates of food at a bunch of evil henchmen and then have a diner applaud your destruction of property
5. Instead of attacking his brother, they should’ve just said that Zeus was a union leader. That would’ve riled up Rip much quicker
6. The only other time Hulk was more murderous was when he wrestled Shawn Michaels
7. Charlie is an underrated seller. He walked so Nic Nemmeth could run
8. Did this seriously predict Hulk Hogan seeing the Ultimate Warrior in the mirror on WCW Monday Nitro in 1998?
9. Seeing Ax at the beginning before he was in Demolition was like seeing Tom Riddle before he was Lord Voldemort
10. Calling the big TV network the “World Television Network” is about has creative as having Hulk Hogan play a wrestler

In the recent documentary, Mr. McMahon (2024), Hogan and McMahon say they essentially got a hotel room together and came up with this film in a weekend.
I need to know how much cocaine went into that hotel room.
It’s not good, but it’s a silly, ridiculous, over-the-top fun time.
