Just watched Unstoppable, and although entertaining, I wonder why it was so historically inaccurate. Couple things included in the movie that didn’t really happen or were inaccurate…
Arizona State losing their wrestling program in Robles’ sophomore year.
Matt McD (as a sophomore) beating Robles (in his junior year) in the NCAA finals for McD’s 2nd straight NCAA title.
Movie also said McD was undefeated in his collegiate career going into the NCAA finals when he beat Robles
I imagine the movie fictionized the above for more dramatic effect…but it’s weird that it’s about Robles’ career at ASU but is far from accurate. Kind of ruined it for me. His actual career and achievements are phenomenal enough, I don’t see the point of making a movie that isn’t accurate.
