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.

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...

WWE RAW 10/8/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode when it's good, it is REALLY good but when it's awful, it is REALLY awful. A mixed bag of a show, to be honest. pictures via WWE.com Two Contract Signings? For the first time at least in my lifetime, there are two contract signing for the same one match. Anywho, it's for the Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio match and Samoa Joe is the moderator which by the way, he's the best one yet. Based on Seth's promo telling Mysterio's Hijo that he can use a kendo stick or anything in the toolbox, it sounds like it's a no DQ match. The best part about this engaging segment by far is Joe's promo about how Seth Rollins was a different man ever since the fans booed him. Dominik's line quote, "Seth Rollins' actions change the lives of good men for the worst" pretty much describes Seth's heel run so far and I love it. That led to a match between Humberto Carrillo and Rollins. The match was quick af. Af...

The 5 News Week: Samoa Joe Might Wrestle Again!?, Whose Idea Was RAW Underground?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Sorry for not being consistent lately, I've just been taking care of some personal things.  pictures via WWE.com Samoa Joe Might Wrestle Again!?  The Samoan submission machine's role in TV as of late is on the commentary desk (no sh*t, Omar).  The reason as to why he's a colour commentator is due to a concussion that he sustained in a RAW commercial shot back in February. Which is why he hasn't been cleared since.  That story is according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter from late May ( from WrestlingInc ).  But, MVP has heard that Samoa Joe is preparing for a return to in-ring action in an interview with Newsweek :  "What I understand, ole Samoa Joe is gonna be back in action and over the years Samoa Joe and I have been grea...
