...do NOT miss this.

You're basic 'get rid of he bad guys' plot built around a wrestling promotion. But that was just an excuse to fit in as many cameos as possible.

Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch beating up a bar full of martial arts men while boozing.

Crusher and Bruiser saving the day by beating up the gangsters.

Billy Robinson as a nice guy. (I heard he was a #$%& in real life.) And a young (Brown haired) Ric Flair in a 'blink and miss it' scene at a dinner table.

Verne Gagne looked OK in the lead. And Ed Asner did a great job in the main lead.

But the cameos make it.

Superstar Graham, Larry Henning, Jim Brunzell, Eddie Graham, Wilbur Snyder, Ray 'Crippler' Stevens...

...you got it.
