Taking a look at some DVDs that a family friend had recently picked up,I noticed a near-forgotten bio-pic on pro-wrestler Sting.With having seen some clips of Sting during his WCW days,I decided that it was time to witness his moment of truth.The plot:Watching wresting on TV with his brother, Steve Borden begins to dream about becoming a professional wrestler.Spotted at a fitness centre by a promoter,Borden finally gets his foot in the door,by being partnered up with a fellow up-coming wrestler.As he tries to iron out the flaws in his wrestling style,Borden gets married to his long time sweetheart Sue.As he starts to become a big name in the business,Borden begins to enjoy the luxuries that the lifestyle offers,as his marriage begins to fall apart.View on the film:For a movie which contains the word "truth" in its title the screenplay by writer/director George King takes some huge liberties with reality.Starting with a look at Borden's childhood,King randomly jumps around the decades and moves events in Borden's life to periods where they did not take place.Whilst he does show a keen eye for using some well-chosen archival moments in Borden's wrestling life,King makes the newly filmed wrestling scenes lack any sense of excitement,thanks to King focusing just a little too long on the small amount of extras/lack of crowd noise that the budget could afford.Final view on the film:A film which fails to sting.

I watch wrestling every Wednesday and Friday on fox 8 at my friends house and this movie is the BEST wrestling movie EVER because you see sting a different way then when he wrestled on TV. I also found out a lot of things i did not know about him and his career like when he traveled and had a lot of muscle problems and lots of other things. i am a massive sting fan and it may be a bit out but it is still great. If anyone wants to buy this movie i highly recommend it for a wrestling fan and for anyone who can not find a movie to rent this will make you want to watch wrestling every hour of every day.you will be surprised about the wrestling life.

This movie had no real acting in it. Just a few scenes with dialogue and the rest must have been public domain archival footage. It was just a lot of unnecessary clips of stuff that had nothing to do with his life. Also, what really got to me was the sheer unprofessional-ism of this film. I mean you could see part of the WWF/E logo during all the WCW footage since WWF/E owns everything that WCW owned and the WWF/E felt the need to add their logo to everything. But I would have done something to block that out. Also, this movie had one of the worst endings of all time. There was a lot more that should have been explained but it just wasn't. Do not expect a documentary like "Beyond the Mat" or something like it because you will sorely be mistaken. Instead this movie is amateurish and jumps around a lot. Oh, and even though the credits in the trailer featured a slew of wrestling legends. They don't even have parts in the movie. Somehow you can pass off for someone being in a movie just by showing old footage rather them taking time out to actually be in a few scenes. Sorry Sting, it could have been a lot better.

This movie was great! Loved the music. The movie takes you back through Steve Borden's wrestling career and even includes his days tagging up with the man who would later become the Ultimate Warrior. And all the way through his career to this point. This movie showcases how it really is most wrestlers, outside of the WWE, most wrestlers have to travel all around just hoping for a break. This movie is a Christian movie, but not too overly Christian if you know what I mean. Really enjoyable! As a wrestling fan you will just love this movie as it shows highlights of the Stinger against Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, and even some updated footage against some of the NWA-TNA stars.
