10 Bizarre Wrestling Movies You Must Watch
7. Backyard Dogs (2000)
In 2000, pro wrestling was the hottest form of entertainment on the planet, and everyone wanted a piece, including people who knew nothing about it.
Some of those people decided to make a movie about a seedy underworld of wrestling that they basically made up. It's kind of like the wrestling equivalent of those SVU episodes where they invent some kind teen sex fad just ridiculous enough to fool the most gullible of suburban mothers.
The story concerns the legendary tag team of Cole the Outlaw and Lee the Mighty Ninja as they attempt to make it big on the "back bar" circuit, even more depraved and violent than the backyard scene. These guys are so hardcore that they don't even have rings! They're so badass, they're out there taking bumps on nothing but old mattresses!
Wait …
The film's big stars were then-backyard wrestler and future actual wrestler Frankie Kazarian, Zack from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and, somehow, Japanese legend Hayabusa.
