Description:
This production by the World Wrestling Federation opens with snazzy computer graphics of chairs and tables, specifically the type preferred as weapons by particularly unruly members of the professional wrestling fraternity. But a very serious-sounding narrator explains that this is not a documentary about furniture, but a look at three particular tag teams: The Hardy Boyz, the Dudleyz, and Edge & Christian. In interview segments, the wrestlers essentially step out of their ring character and talk about growing up, their ambitions to become wrestlers, and their love of "sports entertainment." Once it's sort of established that these guys are all human beings, the fun begins, and ladders, chairs, and tables are gleefully deployed as weapons in the ring. The real stars of the show are the table-smashing degenerates always referred to as "those damned Dudleyz." Capping a frenetic montage of "Bubbuh Ray" Dudley putting a variety of opponents (and even a female emergency medical technician) through folding tables is a masterpiece of Dudley sportsmanship: helpless and elderly female wrestler Mae Young is dragged from her wheelchair and treated to a vicious "flying table drop." Warnings abound that the participants are professionals, and no one should even think about trying any of this craziness at home. --Robert J. McNamara
