This week's recommendation will come from the world of Professional Wrestling. What? It's fake? You really think that? If so, then ask Droz (Darren Adrian Drozdov)(1) if it's fake? I was watching the Owen Hart(1) Pay Per View. Mic Folly(2) will never walk normal again. And Ric Flair (Richard Morgan Fliehr)(3), first lost his family, then his fortune. It's a farce, but it's not fake...
(1) "Footage of this injury currently sits inside the WWE vault, alongside the tape of Owen Hart’s fall at Over The Edge 1999. Instructions on both read: Never view, copy, or destroy."
(3) Ric Flair's ESPN's 30 for 30 promo...
The first film, yes a double feature, to be recommended for the week will be the fictional film The Wrestler (2008). It stars Mickey Rourke (4) as The Ram at the end of his career. It Deals with the darker side of 'sports entertainment'. Can he do anything else? Marisa Tomei (5) also stars in this one...
On the lighter side, we have Florence Pugh (6) staring as Paige in the nonfictional tale of how she made it to the WWE. Yea, there are many laughs and it's very well acted. A good little, fun little story. There are many headlining actors in this one including some WWE stars just acting...
(4) Rumble Fish, 1983
(5) The Ides of March, 2011
(6) The Little Drummer Girl, week 32
