The Super Bowl of Wrestling

About This Movie

So, 'The Super Bowl of Wrestling' is something of a curiosity in the world of sports entertainment films. It showcases the massive showdown between 'Superstar' Billy Graham and Harley Race, and it's set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami's Orange Bowl, which adds a unique atmosphere. The pacing is pretty straightforward, just like an old-school wrestling match—build-up and then that climactic confrontation. The practical effects are mostly the wrestlers' athleticism and charisma, which is what really draws fans in. Both performances have their own distinctive flair, capturing the larger-than-life personas of the athletes. It’s not often you see a wrestling film of this scale from '78, which makes it a distinct piece for collectors like us.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, mostly existing on VHS and some low-quality bootlegs, which makes it somewhat elusive for collectors. The scarcity increases its appeal, especially among those interested in wrestling history. Its unique setting and the legendary match-up add layers for enthusiasts, making it a worthy piece for those who appreciate the intersection of sport and cinema.
