Ready to Rumble

[Jason Mann]

I talk with Adam and Matt from KayfabeComedy.com about the 2000 film "Ready to Rumble" starring David Arquette, Scott Caan, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, Randy Savage and other WCW wrestlers. We discuss the oddness of how WCW and wrestling are portrayed in this movie, imagine a world in which Caan had been WCW champion instead of Arquette, wonder how good Joe Pantoliano would have been as a wrestling character, speculate where plot points and wrestling characters were taken from, and appreciate the oddball performances by Oliver Platt and Martin Landau in a paycheck movie.
