Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAround the time of this movie's release, David Arquette made a string of appearances on WCW television. In lieu of spending any of the money paid to him from WCW, David instead chose to give all of his WCW earnings to the family of deceased wrestler Brian Pillman.
- GoofsJimmy King is unfairly exiled from WCW for life. Given his status as a megastar wrestler, WCW's rival, and bigger promotion WWF would have accepted him in their company. The exclusion of WWF was deliberate as the film was used as a tool to increase WCW's popularity again.

Featured review
Just plain fun
I think the people who criticized this movie missed the entire point of it. Ready To Rumble isn't supposed to be a "good" movie; it is just supposed to be a "fun" one. I don't think the folks who put this film together had any illusions about it winning any Oscars but I think they made a very good "dumb" movie. I am NOT a wrestling fan and I still enjoy watching it because I can enjoy it for what it is without expecting more out of it. I watched it last night with my 10 yo son and he thought it was great. Those who found fault with the movie need to take themselves and their entertainment less seriously.
