1/10
This film would make K.D. Lang turn hetero!

Whoa. These have to be THE most unappealing, mannish, massive women that I've ever seen on film, and that includes the dancers from The Horrors of Spider Island. These women would make the most perverted, misogynist male in the world beg them to put MORE clothes on, preferably a mu mu. Watching them wrestle endlessly is both boring and unsexy. In between times(and there are't a lot, because this movie is mostly horrible scenes of wrestling)there's an uninteresting and incomprehensible plot about a wrestling promoter and a gangster simply called Mr. Big. Apparently Mr. Scally the promoter was keeping a lot of the money from the bets he was making on various sports events. I guess. I simply didn't care enough about the sleazy, bad tempered Scally to be interested in his eventual fate - which involved a 'car chase' and a shot in the dark. One of the main characters, a real life female wrestler named Peaches Page, is a large, Romulan looking girl with a bovine stupidity and vacuousness. But next to World Champion Wrestler Clara Mortinson, who looks like somebody's bony older maiden Aunt, Peaches is very feminine and sexy. And we are privileged to watch twenty minutes of Clara wrestling a woman from Mexico who screamed a lot and had Pippy Long Stocking braids. But Clara wasn't QUITE the least appealing female character - that award goes to the middle aged 'gym manager' woman, who wears tight little outfits although she's got the face of a grandma and chicken cutlet breasts. It seems that some guy funded this film as a jerk off film for himself, since I can't see any other reason that such a dull, plot less, horrible film was made. Especially when it doesn't even have gratuitously hot babes to leer at.
