This is how a wrestling comedy should be. Body Slam was great and I am surprised that more fans didn't like it.
Firstly, whether you enjoy a wrestling comedy depends entirely on whether you like wrestling. If you don't then films like this may not be good for you.
This film doesn't take itself seriously and it features some top wrestling stars of the time such as Lou Albano and Roddy Piper. They are joined by Dirk Benedict who is quite good when it comes to playing comedy.
This film has everything for a wrestling fan-laughs and plenty of action in the ring.
