Death Warrior DVD Review

After the surprisingly fantastic Blood & Bone (seriously, go see it, the film is awesome) and the crushing disappointment that was Unrivaled, it’s now time for me to review a third MMA-inspired movie for W101. The big question is in which side of the fence will Death Warrior fall?

Unrivaled DVD Review

This is the second MMA-inspired movie I’ve reviewed for Wrestling 101 in recent months and, unfortunately, the difference between the two is night and day. Blood & Bone was a phenomenal example of the genre and a showed us how to perfectly utilise real-life MMA fighters in a movie setting…

Blood and Bone DVD Review

The movie opens with pre-credits scene showing a gang of prisoners, led by the genuinely scary Kimbo Slice (with genuinely scary bushy beard), heading to the prison shower room to take out our hero (after paying off an unseen guard).
