Slow down beast. 1980's movies weren't for pussies. If we were banging our tenth grade teacher we STFU...

Maybe a little picky, but this was probably a fair review.  Good, but not great.  However for me that might still put it as my second favorite wrestling movie, far behind Win/Win but ahead of Foxcatcher and Vision Quest IMO.

The wrestling scenes were OK. They did do a bunch of weird zooming into their hands and stuff. Maybe it was because they used Robles for some of the wrestling scenes, but I thought the guy that played him may have been the best non-wrestler that I’ve seen in a movie. There was a Q&A after it was over and he said he trained five days a week two hours a day for seven months with Robles.  I know they said some actual D1 wrestlers were used as extras, but I didn’t recognize any.

I don’t really recall Charles, so I don’t know how accurately Cheadle portrayed him.  My biggest complaint was the guy that played Tom Brands. I know Brands is one of a kind lol, but that guy wasn’t even close to an accurate portrayal.

Yes it was similar to a lot of cliche sports movies, but at least it was mostly a true story.  I am also not super familiar with the specifics so not quite sure what was changed.   I honestly didn’t remember that they announced ASU as being cut.  Although the movie makes it seem like that caused the team to miss a season when I don’t believe it did.  They also ripped off a scene from Rudy which if I had to guess didn’t actually happen (and IIRC didn’t even really happen in Rudy).

Overall definitely worth the free tickets though!  My wife even said she liked it even though she says she “doesn’t like JLo.” They even gave out free popcorn and drinks, might have to check out more of these Amazon screenings…

Johnni DiJulius played Matt McDonough in the movie. I think Cory Janzten was in it somewhere too. There were some liberties, like ASU losing a whole season, the program for dropped for less than 2 weeks. Also there was no mention of Thom Ortiz, the ASU coach when Anthony started as a walk on. Overall it was pretty accurate, just some Hollywood liberties to make it more dramatic like you'd expect.

Jantzen was one of the other guys on the ASU team I believe

I think IMDb might have the wrong Shane Sparks credited…

The difference between me and kids today is if I was banging a hot teacher or adult woman when I was a minor I'd have been smart enough to keep my mouth shut and keep the pu$$y flowing, know what I mean? These kids today can't keep their big mouths shut.

The guy who beat Robles in the wrestle off was actually a composite of both John Moraga and Ben Ashmore. I'm also disappointed there was no mention at all of Bubba J.
