WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

This movie was just flat out wrong (see topic for details). Full of factual errors, especially in concern with Jesse's wrestling career. This movie would have you believe that Jesse left wrestling with disgust due to being screwed over by a promoter who ended a match early.

However, anyone with any wrestling knowledge can tell you that the entire story was stolen from what happened to wrestling legend Bret "The Hitman" Hart in Canada at the 1997 Survivor Series. It's probably one of the most famous moments in all of professional wrestling history. It's not like they could sneak it under the radar and pass it off as fact. What were these people thinking?

Use this one theft as an example of exactly how factually inaccurate this film is. Infact, I should probably change the topic to "CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP".

Not to mention that Jesse never wrestled Chris Kanyon or Bill Goldberg.
