BunkaMania Wrestling

Lights! Camera! Stone Cold Stunner!

Inspired by WrestleMania Goes Hollywood, BunkaMania Wrestling is taking its own trip to the movies. The Dekker Dane hosts the first of four special audio-only episodes where he and a tag team partner take a retrospective look at a WWE Studios movie.

Our first episode takes a look at 2007's The Condemned starring Stone Cold Steve Austin as a death-row inmate who finds himself being forced into a battle royale fight to the death with eight other convicts. As Dekker and Jeremy grapple with the film, they talk about Stone Cold's acting career, the early days of video streaming, and importantly - is this film any good?
