This is an interesting topic for a pro wrestling movie since it draws from a seemingly forgotten era and on a historical name(s) that many modern fans have likely never heard of. I look forward to seeing it and if it draws me in on an emotional level like it seemingly did for you, based on your review. I just saw the 2017 book on Burke in a store (haven't read it). Is the movie based on that book, do you know?
Hello - thank you so much for reading! As a lover of pro wrestling, I tend to look to the past of the storytelling to contrast with today's performances (in the ring and politics, lol). Indeed, the movie hit me nicely in the feels. I'm unsure if it's based on a specific book, but I wouldn't be surprised (the official website for the movie doesn't list it as an adaptation).
