Throwback Tuesday takes us back to year 2000 and the attempts of two braindead wrestling fans (David Arquette and Scott Caan), who have obviously never heard the term kayfabe, to help their shitcanned hero (Oliver Platt) reclaim his championship after being buried and fired. Ready to Rumble is a bizarre film, created during the height of World Championship Wrestling’s popularity and features several wrestlers of note including Sting, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, Curt Henning, Booker T, Bam Bam Bigelow, and more.
