What's hilarious is the controversy at the time it aired was in regard to how Jesse was unhappy of how he and his family were portrayed. This movie nailed pretty much nothing. They did nail that Superstar Billy Graham was a wrestler and Jesse Ventura was a fan of his

I remember seeing this. There is actually a disclaimer that say that "some events have been altered," to make a "better" movie, I guess.

Also, Raven was dressed like a grungy type. Hello! The grunge craze didn't start until the 90s not the 80s. Well this can easily be explained, Raven is a Mensa member, he's super smart and years ahead of his time.

how about the fact that Kanyon apparently portrayed 7 different wrestlers at the same time?
true story, this aired the same night as Over The Edge 99. I had the PPV taping in my room and watched/taped the Jesse Ventura movie in the living room. I had seen the accident but didn't realize how severe it was and since I missed the rest of the PPV I had no idea that they had made the announcement of Owen's death already. So I'm sitting there watching this HORRIBLE movie and the credits are rolling when the local news teaser pops up and the first thing they say is "Professional Wrestler Dies at Tonight's Show" and I lost it.

I just love the fact that it shows Ventura trying to convince the owner to make the match a shmozz so that everyone goes home happy. Like Ventura is trying to save the business from that event. Imagine if this was made after the Owen or Benoit incidents, it would prob show Jesse trying to convince the owner that head shots and coming down from the rafters are terrible ideas...
That said, I've watched these vids about 4 times and I crack up each time

I love how he gets so pissed about the schmozz double cross that he chases the owner down and breaks his door down and apparently kills him.

The actor playing Jesse was apparently on an episode of ER a few months earlier where he played a goldberg knockoff called "kornberg". I never saw the ER episode (just heard about it) though so i dont know if he did a better job there.

On a random note, anyone remember the Double Dragon movie?
Apparently the guy who played Ventura was in it.

Nils Allen Stewart was also one of the henchmen in "The Mask."

Stuff like this absolutely needs a making of documentary. It's one thing to get making ofs for things that are well made and have something to say, but I need the story of every person involved in this movie, which never at any point was intended to have any sort of merit. That they put in time and money into something that everyone involved had to know is pure unadulterated shit just fascinates me.

Screw that, we could probably fill 3 hours with just Raven's views on his part of the Montreal Schmozz Job against the Captain. Gif request: 3:25-3:27 with cheesehead Jesse shaking his head.

They loved proving that the rope eye rake was fake in 1999 didn't they?

Who was the asshole that was the creative consultant on this? Probably the same guy who did "Exposed: Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets."

Is "Schmozz" really a word that wrestlers use, like "color," "job," "work," "shoot," and "jabroni"?
