'Wrestlemaniac' doesn't take itself very seriously, and the the first thirty minutes are a thumb twiddling trawl through a set of arch one-liners. But once the horror hits, the film changes tone and becomes quite graphic and sometimes eerie. I liked it. Fave line - “They lobotomised this guy three hundred times and it didn't do shit”.

Wrestlemaniac is tremendous, Frankie. Some lovely face ripping scenes. If i'd thought you'd never seen it i'd have recommended it years ago to you.
A proper supermarket special from back in the day.
