The Wrestler: Difference between revisions

* [[Super Slave Market]]: Randy's day job, which he treats as unbearable drudgery. He starts to actually enjoy himself when he's allowed to work with customers, but he still turns his back on a normal day-to-day job in pursuit of stardom.

* [[Truth in Television]]: The film is an ''amazingly'' accurate portrayal of life as a wrestler in the smaller promotions/independent circuit. That said, the only major difference in the big leagues is the miles traveled, size of the crowds and quality of the drugs. Some wrestling fans raise an objection to the way Randy works a hardcore death-match, as former stars will rarely do such a thing, but Randy is clearly uncomfortable and out of his element in the match, showing his participation as a sign of extreme desperation.

* [[Wrestling Doesn't Pay]], [[The Movie]]: Even though he also works full-time, Randy can barely afford the rent on his ''trailer'' and doesn't even have a phone. With the amount of money he pays for tanning, hair styling, steroids and so forth, he probably spends more money on his wrestling than he earns from it.
