Not so Serious Movie Review: Grunt! The Wrestling Movie

 

Where has this movie been all my life?

A mockumentary about a missing wrestler while keeping kayfabe in the most ridiculously 80s way possible. Before wrestling was big, there was Mad Dog Joe DeCurso. After Mad Dog accidentally decapitates a fellow wrestler, he disappears. Is new phenom The Mask actually Mad Dog? A young filmmaker attempts to find out.

This movie hits all my sweet spots. It's low budget. It's ridiculous. It's over the top. It's wrestling. Easiest grade since MegaForce.

(Also, possible Easter egg alert in my new novel.)

Grade: 5 knuckle sandwiches out of 5
