This review is from: THE BEST OF BACKYARD WRESTLING: Future Kings of the Ring! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I read the editorial revues of the THE BEST OF BACKYARD WRESTLING FUTURE KINGS OF THE RING and MORE HARDCORE THAN EVER BEFORE I couldn't beleive it. then i ordered the tapes! I must say, I am impressed. I consider myself a tough critic when it comes to wild and extreme tapes...but i've just never seen anything like this. The cool thing is that the tape does so much more than just display hardcore sloppy violence. it is produced inj a way that keeps you watching through the whole tape. HIGHLY ENTERTAINING! I can't recomend anything more than these two tapes...by far the coolest thing I've ever seen. I WANT MORE!!!

I screamed while watching the agony of a wrestler whose spine snapped on camera after being bodyslammed off a four-story school building!

This review is from: THE BEST OF BACKYARD WRESTLING: Future Kings of the Ring! [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am all for giving indie and amatuer wrestling talent their due, but this tape deserves no such respect. The enormous bulk of the tape is simply teen-agers throwing each other through plywood boards and hitting each other with chairs or similar objects. There are only two actual matches (both heavily cut, with unnamed characters) and an occassional interlude of an unattractive woman doing PG rated cheesecake poses. That is it. The "backyard" is certainly there, but you would think a tape with the word "wrestling" in the title would give you actual wrestling matches, right?

Actually, I probably shouldn't have such high expectations. The teenaged "stars" of this movie clearly don't know anything about what they are doing. After almost every hit you can hear loud swearing, often followed by a "man, that hurt!" You just jumped off a roof, smashed through a sheet of plywood and landed on your knees genius, what did you expect?! To be fair, some of these kids clearly have excellent athletic potential and might make good wrestlers with training. Unfortunately, the injuries they are likely to sustain from their hobby will probably end their careers before they start.

The redundant nature of this tape makes it move very slowly. Even the cruel humor of laughing at these fools wears off quickly, and you find yourself wondering where their parents are. The bottom line is, this tape has nothing to recommend it. The real future kings of the ring are receiving professional quality training in wrestling schools, not pretending in front of shaky hand held cameras.
