Here is the deal. I'm a lapsed wrestling fan. So I bring some extra baggage to this movie. Even allowing for that, this is a movie more than worth seeing. The Oscar nods to Rourke and Tomei are well deserved. And watching Rourke as Randy "The Ram" Robinson is heartbreaking. Especially as he attempts to rebuild some kind of relationship with his estranged daughter (with another stellar performance, from Evan Rachel Wood)...
