Ready to Rumble is a 2000 comedy film directed by Brian Robbins. The movie follows the story of two friends, Gordie and Sean, who are big wrestling fans and work as sewage workers. They idolize a wrestler named Jimmy King, who is the king of the ring and wears a flashy crown and robe.
However, their world is turned upside down when King loses a match and is forcibly retired by a corrupt promoter named Titus Sinclair. Feeling betrayed and disappointed, Gordie and Sean decide to embark on a mission to help their hero regain his crown and seek revenge against Sinclair.
Their journey takes them across the country to try and find King, who has fallen into a drunken depression and given up on wrestling. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a wrestling fanatic named Gordie's grandmother, a sexy bounty hunter, and a group of hardcore wrestling fans known as the "WCW."
Eventually, Gordie and Sean are able to persuade King to get back in the ring and train for a comeback match against Sinclair's top wrestler, Diamond Dallas Page. The film reaches its climax with a high-stakes wrestling match that sees King and his fans go up against Sinclair and his goons.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, Ready to Rumble remains a favorite among wrestling fans and is known for its over-the-top characters and humor, as well as its celebrity cameos from real-life wrestlers like Bill Goldberg, Sting, and Goldberg.
