The Wrestler - AWESOME MOVIE!!! BB related!

[Team Diver]

Maybe it was already discussed years ago, but I have just seen The Wrestler for the first time and all I can say, it was so "Getbig"

Mickey Rourke living in a trailer park...
Buying steroids, growth hormone etc. in the gym's locker room from a semi-naked mass monster who proudly hits a FDB pose when Mickey asks him.
CUT, and Mickey is injecting gear into his ass...
CUT, Mickey is sitting at the hairdresser having his hair dyed, drinking protein shake from a gallon in the meantime... CUT, and we see him going into a cheap local tanning salon etc-etc.
Everyday life of the pro wrestler.

Later in the movie he is at a fans' meeting in some depressing place, maybe a school with 5-10 other has-been veterans, he sells videotapes and autographed photos for $8 (vs Lou's $20!). Not too much fans around, some of the former "stars" fall asleep, Mickey feels uncomfortable...

I really liked the movie, brilliant storytelling and now I feel sympathy for the broken, past their prime IFBB pros! 

[The Showstoppa]

GREAT movie.

[Raymondo]

Also the part where he suffers a heart attack and has a bypass and the doctor at the hospital tells him you can't keep taking the stuff you're taking

Not to mention the part where the mass monster who sold him steroids also sold him growth hormone and then offered to sell him all kinds of other drugs, coke, percodans etc.

The scriptwriters must have been reading getbig or maybe wrestling is not that different from bodybuilding

[JediTerminator]

i would assume wrestlers would be huge gym rats. these were also 3rd tier (hs gymnasium) wrestlers. The Ram had fallen hard in his career. He couldn't face up that he was now a nobody. Like when that guy recognized him and he flipped his shit.

[Raymondo]

Does anyone remember what sort of steroids the guy sold to the Ram in the gym? I clearly remember the insulin, and when it came to GH the Ram said something like "I don't like that chinese shit", LOL

That was a brutal scene, especially when he slapped the blood on his face and shouted at everyone.

Awesome movie. Very, very depressing though.

Raymondo, that dude got busted in real life for selling PEDs LOL!! That's precisely the conversation that'd take place in real life. Hilarious.

hahaha yes I remember reading it on his imdb page. Not very smart to play yourself in a movie when you're a dealer!

Great movie! The life of a washed up jobber ! Sad but tru in a lot of cases in the Wrestling world!

Meh Id say for your average lower tier athlete its not much different.

Pro sports all round is rather depressing past 30.

The only reason you dont hear about that shit from pro athletes is because those organization work very very hard in trying to maintain a squeaky clean image.

[Powerlift66]

Typical GetBig, no one has mentioned Marisa Tomei.. Hot (to us geezers)...

10-20 years too late with the tittays

[arce1988]

  Great movie.

[viking1]

I liked the scene when he says, "no homo".    I was rolling.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Thought it was a very good movie. Just thought it kind of got disturbing with the part where Steve Namat was jerking off in the back of the van.

[HockeyFightFan]

Marisa Tomei's nude scenes and her body were rocking. She put everyone of these overrated Hollywood Scarlett Johanssen fat tubs of goo to shame.

Her nipples had me sporting a semi-chubber right in the theater.

[Fury]

Awesome movie! Rourke got fucked out of the Oscar on that.

[Team Diver]

(everybody please leave Namat out of this, I don't want my topic deleted)

So, I forgot to add a very important point in the opening post: the camaraderie between the athletes backstage, like we saw it in Pumping Iron. That was also good to see. And yeah, Marisa was hot, especially for her age.

[JBGRAY]

The movie displayed a lot of truth in what happens in the world of pro wrestling.

The worst part was it was sean penn playing a liberal guy.
