If you're gonna start reviewing movies that star professional wrestlers, you've gotta start with the first ever film from WWE Studios, so old that it was actually WWF Studios.

NO HOLDS BARRED, starring Hulk Hogan as a fictionalized version of Hulk Hogan, with the ridiculous name of just "Rip," was released in 1989. "Rip" is the World Heavyweight Champion, and a rival network executive wants him dead, for some reason? So he hires a very large screaming man named Zeus to kill him in a televised wrestling match. Kind of. Who knows?

This movie is absolute "dookie".

BUT IS. IT. CINEMA????
