11 Wrestling Movies You’ve Never Heard Of

9. Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy (2007)

Nerdy Robert is pining for the unrequited love of his life, Sandy, and fairly early on discovers that her father, a former professional wrestler, will only let her become involved with a pro wrestler. Robert determines to become a professional wrestling legend. Co-starring Chyna (billed as Joanie Laurer) and Debra Marshall (ex-WWF/E valet and €˜Stone Cold€™ Steve Austin€™s ex-wife), as well as indie wrestlers Slyck Wagner Brown and April Hunter, the big guest role goes to Don €˜The Predator€™ Frye, playing Sandy€™s narrow-minded father. It€™s a ridiculous, poorly shot and edited film, like a low budget eighties teen flick with tacked on wrestling, but the love story at the heart of it is kind of sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQdKqtRP1Fs At one point a sequel was planned, but inexplicably, audiences didn€™t set the streets on fire legging it to see this headless turkey. Writer/director Kim Sky stuck to supernatural flicks for the next two films, one of which €“ 2010€™s Morning Star €“ features ex-WWE wrestler Gene €˜Snitsky€™ Snisky as the Devil, a role previously essayed by lesser actors like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
