In the late 90s, wrestling ruled the world. Stone Cold Steve Austin was stunning, Dwayne the Rock Johnson was bottoming… Wait… Nowadays that might mean something else… And Diamond Dallas Page was cuttering. The Monday Wars were in full effect and WWE was arguably winning. WCW tried something new, something they hadn’t done yet, a film - Ready to Rumble. Maybe it was because the heart and soul of TNT was Ted Turner and he had sold the company a few years prior to the start of the production. WCW had a bit of turmoil during pre-production - one of which was that the company’s President and Executive Producer Eric Bischoff was fired. Maybe it was a bad omen - because this movie is… rough.
