This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey step into the ring and revisit Ready To Rumble, the over-the-top wrestling comedy that turns 25 this year. Starring David Arquette, Scott Caan, Oliver Platt, and an all-star lineup of WCW legends, this film remains one of the most divisive wrestling movies of all time.

We break down Ready To Rumble’s absurd plot, its portrayal of wrestling fandom, and how WCW’s involvement led to both memorable moments and one of the most infamous storylines in wrestling history — David Arquette’s real-life WCW Championship reign. Plus, we discuss whether this cult classic still holds up in 2024 or if it’s better left in the past.

Highlights Breakdown:

- First impressions — does Ready To Rumble still entertain?

- The insane WCW cameos, from Goldberg to Sting

- David Arquette’s wrestling obsession & real-life WCW title run

- The impact of Ready To Rumble on WCW’s downfall

- Could AEW revive the property as, Ready 2 Rumble?

- Final verdict — iconic cult classic or outdated relic?

Wrestling fans, movie buffs, and nostalgia lovers — this is one episode you don’t want to miss!
