I am so glad I took it upon myself to see this movie. As the day of this premiere approached I looked forward to seeing Seth Carr & Dallas Young in action, as I have seen them on Nickelodeon and saw incredible potential in both of them and thus, I had high hopes for them. Sure enough, they did a fantastic job in this movie. I hope and pray that God will continue to open doors for them in the future as they continue to fine tune the gifts and talents God has given them. Along with Dallas and Seth's fantastic star power, this movie will teach you lessons of perseverance, faith, confidence, humility, transparency and the realization that every one needs a firm support system in your corner to cheer you on and encourage you and the fact that we are nothing without that support system and we should never forget about that support system. This is something I would definitely recommend for people from the end of the spectrum where they feel drained of hope to the other end of the spectrum when the temptation to get the big head attempts to lay a choke hold on them. Even if you're not a wrestling enthusiast, if you have a hankering for a movie with good moral themes to it, this can be your go-to movie for sure.

Great family/kid movie. Remember this is a fantasy movie, so you have to expect non-sense, its mainly for kids, but i am 59 and i enjoyed it. As you can see the public vote is 4.6/5, but critic from IMDb or tomatoes, ect...... are not the reflexion of the public. It was the same from the 1970's & 1980's, you see good critic, you don't go see the movie, but if the critic is bad, you are going to see a great movie, that is also blockbusters (great commercial success). So IMDb & Cie, it will be about time to filter your critics, if someone is always giving bad critic (on popular movie), kick them out. Same for those that always giving good critic on a movie no one likes.

So as a critic this movie was good it was funny light hearted and full with emotion. But as a wrestling fan this movie was hot garbage. First of all it is a WWE studio film and you would think they would make feel like an actual WWE match. But it wasn’t even close to that effect. First I think the concept of oh he has this magical mask and it gives him superpowers is pretty unrealistic. I understand that it was aimed at a younger audience but there still will be older WWE fans watching this, critiquing this movie. Second, I really hate how in the actual matches in this movie are. And this is mostly how wrestling is portrayed in movies, their always these big over the top dramatic, slug fest with big sweaty men just throwing each other in the air and slamming each other to the ground. When that isn’t how it is at all. But that is how it is portrayed in this trash can of a movie. And I hate that when they had real WWE superstars Otis and Keith Lee, and they were basically just, complete jokes. Like Otis he just basically farts and burps as his offense. But what can we do it’s a kids movie. Well that is all I have to say about this garbage movie. PEACE!
