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.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...

WWE TLC 2018 | My Coherent Review.

TLC 2018 exceeded my expectations a bit in terms of how the show was like overall. In other words, it was decent but it was not a home run obviously. Now, Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the cruiserweight championship match between Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander but what I did see is everything after that. Without further ado, on with the review.   PRE SHOW: Elias vs Bobby Lashley  Well, that was a waste of time. Elias won the match. After the match, Bobby Lashley hit Elias with a guitar and Bobby along with Lio Rush stood tall. Thank God it was on the preshow.  MAIN SHOW: Mahalica vs Fabulous Truth  It’s either R Truth and Carmella or Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox are going to get the 30 spot in the Royal Rumble match and the winner is The Fabulous Truth.  After the match, Kayla Braxton asked where are they going to spend their vacation to which Truth answered by saying that the Fabulous Truth are going to WWE Headquarters in ...
