n case you haven’t seen it, The Wrestler, is a really great movie. From my research into professional wrestling, I’d have to say it’s very accurate, down to the lingo and slang. But aside from how realistic it is, it’s simply a well done movie. I mean…it won a Golden Globe already, and people are already talking Oscar for it.
If you’re interested, the entire movie seems to have been filmed in New Jersey, and much of it was actually done in local Pioneer Clubs, one of which is located in the town I live in.
One of the things I thought was interesting was that the main character (played by Mickey Rourke) does steroids, but it’s not really harped on in the movie. They show him injecting one time, and buying them another time. The realism is pretty good, even down to the part where he buys growth hormone, and tells his dealer that he doesn’t trust the Chinese stuff.
I suppose the only gripe I’d have with the fact that he does steroids is that he doesn’t use any painkillers, which as anyone familiar with the real behind-the-scenes stuff in professional wrestling knows, is a much bigger problem.
I’m not going to spoil the movie for you, because it’s just so good that I hope you see it. But if you’re interested in the cycle that Mickey Rourke purchases in the movie, here it is:
1 kit of Growth Hormone
1 Bottle of Dianabol
1 Bottle of Anadrol
1 Bottle of EQ
2 Bottles of Tren
1 Bottle of Insulin
4 Boxes of Sustanon, 3 amps per box
(Total Cost: $900)
Looks like a solid 12 week cycle to me, and obviously written out by someone who knows what a cycle actually looks like - in fact the Sustanon even looks totally real, down to the packages. To be honest, this looks like a more reasonable cycle than what I see daily on message boards.
