“I have to be bias about this movie. First of all, I was high school wrestler, and there wasnu0026#39;t much out there for exposure in this sport. Yes, the plot is saturated with cliches: high school jock trying to fullfil a dream while winning the heart of a woman. Itu0026#39;s so 80s! I needed a movie to psyche myself up and I was so inspired that it made me sweat in a rubber suit and starved myself till I droppedu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(thankfully, I donu0026#39;t do that anymore). Bottom line is, this film is all about glory-and everbody dreams about glorifying themselves-and Louden Swain is no different. I also like to mention that this film has one of the best movie soundtracku003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ecompilations ever (better than Rocky, and who wants to listen to Survivor over and over again).”
