The story tells of two friends, Gordie Boggs and Sean Dawkins, who work as a sewer worker. These two friends love wrestler Jimmy King (Oliver Platt) and are trying to help him win the title. When the two friends know that Diamond Dallas Page (Diamond Dallas Page) has eliminated their hero, Gordie and Sean begin a mission to help him regain his title. It may be quite different when they discover that the king is not very keen to restore his former glory, but they still have hope to motivate him.
The most amazing thing about Ready to Rumble is how bad it isn't.

Features a shameless cross-promotion we had better get used to in this era of media conglomerates. The script could be mistaken for the portfolio of the Time-Warner empire.

Rassling enthusiasts will soon see this exploitation for what it is: a cheap rip-off.

A movie made by yahoos for yahoos...the cinematic equivalent of a body-slam in which the viewer is on the receiving end.
