Thx, Tim and back at you. I am looking forward to The Wrestler. There was a previous movie with that name, starring, of all people, Verne Gagne. Dusty Rhodes, Dirty Dick Murdoch, Dick The Bruiser, The Crusher and Oddjob from "Goldfinger," were all in it. One fun part of the movie was when they had The Wrestler come in to lecture to the rookies. One of the guys sitting, listening in awe, was Ric Flair, about 20 years old. <G> Ed Asner did most of the acting. The Mafia roughed him up, but Bruiser and Crusher walked in on the beating. It was a bad day for Mob. I think this movie may have somewhat higher production values. Still, it's hard to beat the drama and the dialogue like Oddjob, in a diner, Karate chopping a table into two parts. Then turning to Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch and saying, "Karate, good. Wrestling, ptui", as he spits on the floor. Now, that, is acting.
