DEADLOCK Sumn Gonna Happen #56

THE WRESTLER! Featuring Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler takes a look at the life of a pro-wrestler that has been nearly passed by, by the industry. He can't take himself away from the ring, and continues to try to make towns and make ends meet while juggling his personal life.

I rewatched this gem of a SGH, when Ram smacks his ass before injecting and James says, Hell Yeah..😏 lmaooooo good stuff boys, tied between No Holds Barred and this as best SGH.

The tonal whiplash of being really caught up in the drama of the story and then cracking up at something James said is insane

JSUK Foley is all the sounds in a movie. Stuff like footsteps the sounds of doors opening and closing. Everything that isn’t the dialogue.

to answer james question at the end of the credits yes Axl Rose let them use the song for free due to the budget

One thing that I kinda noticed they don’t notice, but felt like it was screaming at me the whole time: the real versions of this story (JYD, Jake, Scott Hall, Iron Sheik) are even sadder because of the addiction angle. Like the conflict of the movie is “I’m a wrestler and I’m addicted to the life” instead of “I’m a wrestler and I’m addicted to speedballs”

Not to get too deep into analyzing the movie, but when James talked about Rourke and Tomei potential relationship at the hour 19 minute it he's missing the point about the parallel the 2 have - they're both performers, but one's life is performing and the other performs to live a life. Rourke's performances ruin his life, and Tomei's performances help her live a better life.

Decided for fun to keep track of how many times they mention Nigel on my rewatch: 22 times! (I might've missed a few, also they mentioned him as Desmond 4 times I believe)

I've never seen this movie and after seeing it, it was cool I would've preferred a different lead.

This is arguably Deadlock's best SGH work to date.

Aidan Rutter · January 3, 2025

I believe Axl Rose and Mickey Rourke are friends or at least were when this movie was made, which is why they were allowed to use the G'n'R songs.

i saw the movie with my dad and the only guy he recognized was bobby dempsey bc he worked the snack table at roh shows lol

V
Veeeeeeeera · January 1, 2025

There’s a bit in wrestling road diaries (might be the second one idk) where to kill time while the camera crew sets up at the ROH show, Danielson gets in front of the crowd and begs Jigsaw to start wearing his damn mask again, ugly bastard cover that shit up

best part is definitely that WWF christian is actually in the credits

I wonder what Jawnny meant when he said he doesn’t think you can run Rahway Rec Center anymore. I just saw WrestlePro book Jinder Mahal there like 2 months ago. As a matter of fact, they’re running the same night as YAK lmao

Didn’t know much about this movie at all growing up, despite being into wrestling my whole life (I was 11 when it came out). Turns out, I grew up around all the little landmarks in this movie. I literally live like 3 mins away from Rahway. Shit, my little sister is a nurse at the hospital Randy got discharged from. This is really fucking cool, there’s never been a movie of any sort filmed out here, to my knowledge.

There's no actual reason that I've put off watching this movie, but I'm still going to claim it's because I was waiting to watch along with The Boys.

John E. Blud vs Charles E. Cheese in a First to hit an Overdrive match. Winner gets to fight Dick The Cock Johnson at Tony's Fin · December 30, 2024

Two cool things about this movie. One the ACME they shot at is located not far from my house. Even one time during lunch break in school I went to a wendy's near by when they were filming. It was cool to see the set up. Two, I've been to the strip club Marisa Tomei's character works at.

First ten minutes and I cannot fucking believe Tony tricked us into watching ANOTHER HANDICAP MATCH.

TravisBroski · December 30, 2024

Fun Fact: the deli scenes were actually shot with real customers. Mickey would just do skits behind an actual deli at a market and get reactions from legit customers.

I love you boys and this was so fucking funny but I really wish I watched this for the first time by myself beforehand. My fault 100% no reason I SHOULDN'T have seen this by now. I'm absolutely gonna be doing that some point soon.

Hakunon Matata · December 28, 2024

Imagine if they made a Wrestler 2 and the first scene is a continuation of the last of him doing his top rope move like normal and the chest pain he was having in the match was just GERD the entire time and for some reason, he looks 15 years older.
