Fighting With My Family Movie Review.

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.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
