Fighting With My Family Movie Review.

Image result for fighting with my family
Guys, I'm going to do something different and that's reviewing the new movie based on a true-life story called “Fighting with my Family”. 

The premise tells an origin story of a young wrestler named Saraya-Jade Bevis or as we know her best as Paige (played by Florence Pugh) and she along with her brother Zak (played by Jack Lowden), have big wrestling ambitions to make it into the WWE or World Wrestling Entertainment. 

They eventually got a WWE tryout at the O2 arena in London, England during an episode of Smackdown because of an audition tape her father Ricky Knight (played by Nick Frost), sent. In that tryout, Paige was the only one that got accepted to got to Orlando, Florida and learn the WWE way of telling a story in the ring. Leaving Zak into a depressing state. 

This movie reminds me of another comedy based on a true story called “Tag” in the sense that it’s heartwarming, humourous and kinda heroic. Florence Pugh as Paige absolutely kills it in this role along with Jack Lowden as Zak Zodiac. Nick Frost is hilarious I mean, who doesn’t like Nick Frost? Vince Vaughn as Hutch reminds me of how underrated and how good he is as a dramatic actor. 

Even though Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wasn’t really in the movie all that much, he did play a vital role in this film. I also loved how simple this film was to follow. it's like watching a wrestling storyline with great writing and direction and it’s all thanks to Stephen Merchant (who by the way, played as Zack's girlfriend"s father named Hugh).  

Overall, I can’t say anything but good things about this film so out of Dave Meltzer’s Star rating, I'll give it 4.5 stars. 

Have you seen the movie? If so what do you think about it? Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

WWE RAW 29/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

There were decisions being made on this show that I would've done it differently if I was on their spot but as a whole, this show was decent and unlike last week's episode, it actually made some progress going into Summerslam.  Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle vs R Truth and Carmella. 24/7 championship. Lumberjack Match.  First off, that intro about the 24/7 title was great. Shout out to the production guys for that. Also, mosh pit? Isn't this a lumberjack match? Anyways, the match ends quickly with a reverse suplex from Truth and then, The rest of the roster (yes, all of them) pinned R Truth to which Mike Kanellis of all people won the match.  He then went inside the WWE officials' room and Maria Kanellis knocked on that door. Maria Kanellis said that if he doesn't open that door then she'll kick him in his "vagina". That line was random yet funny. As far as the 24/7 championship shenanigans are concerned, it was not offensive but it...

WWE RAW 21/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

I like this episode of Monday Night RAW. Probably one of the best episodes of RAW all year and I will also say that 2019 has been a great year for Monday Night RAW. I can only count one hand on how many episodes of RAW I actually hated.  Ric Flair Reveals The Final Member of His Team. The nature boy started off this episode and I thought I've time jumped to 03 but I realized that he's the coach of his team at Crown Jewel and I said to myself "ohhhhhh".  Ric Flair reveals the final member and that person is none other than the returning Drew McIntyre. Drew tells his captain that he's going to give him a preview of what he's going to do at Crown Jewel. That preview is a match between the Scottish psychopath and Ricochet.  This was a nothing segment other than Drew coming back after several weeks.  Drew McIntyre vs Ricochet.   Ric Flair cut a passionate promo basically calling Hogan to show up on Smackdown this Friday. This was a very go...
