surprise

[zaius316]

Is that Greg next to Verne?

[mastermold2011]

Actually he's to the left of Billy Robinson.

[ehealthy222]

Is that really Ric Flair on the right? That looks nothing like him.

[ClassicRockfan79]

@ehealthy222 yes thats him, a few years before he had long bleach blonde hair and when he was a little more heavy.

This movie is terrible. I heard the wrestlers all chipped in to make it hoping it would promote wrestling. I am a long time wrestling fan, but this film is almost unwatchable.

[Junkay2]

Except for the nose, that doesn't look anything like the Ric Flair everyone knows. Not only does he have short, dark hair, but he's dressed modestly!

[BradNC11175]

@Junkay2 I guess at that time you could say Ric Flair was still a "starving artist" before he ever became the limosine riding, jet flying, wheeling & dealing kiss stealing Nature Boy!

[elc1960]

"Naitch" with dark hair! Much like "I Like to Hurt People", if you remove all the wrestling and interview scenes, this movie is totally unwatchable. Some scenes from a bloody Indian Strap Match between Wahoo McDaniel and Superstar Graham in this. By now, this may be available on DVD (don't hold your breath for a Blu-Ray version - LOL).

[danteras23]

back when men were men

[Lovelygal71]

@danteras23 yeah, and back when wrestling was wrestling too.

[marcusmanson4]

This movie sucked if you want to see a good wrestling movie look up I Like To Hurt People you can buy the VHS on Amazon.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Great footage! Verne didn't retire until 86'.

[Lurvy1963]

Billy Robinson and Verne Gagne talking about their match in The Wrestler while dining at the dinner table. A younger, brunette and sideburned Ric Flair before he became the blonde haired (WOOOOO!) Nature Boy we all know so well.

[Lovelygal71]

The original movie, "The Wrestler". Hard to beleive how long ago this was. There's Ric Flair. woooooooo! :D
