Wrestling champ Jimmy King (Oliver Platt) is everything die-hard fans Gordie (David Arquette) and Sean (Scott Caan) would love to be. Of course, Gordie and Sean live at home, have dead-end jobs and no girlfriends. When they finally get to meet Jimmy King live, something goes terribly wrong and King takes a fall causing him to disappear into obscurity.Of course, the two losers set off on a wild goose chase to only find King a loser himself. But, the beer gut and grizzle duo won’t take no for an answer. The movie is exactly what it sounds like, another “Dumb and Dumber” type rip-off that doesn’t work.

Martin Landau as the unlikely wrestling coach with Rose McGowan portraying the head Nitro girl. Wrestling fanatics may be happy to learn the flick also features real life wrestling world stars Sting, Bam Bam Bigelo, Sid Vicious, and more.
