5 Wrestling Movies That Deserve A Sequel
Who doesn't love a good wrestling movie?
3. Paradise Alley (1978)
Two years following the success of Rocky, Sylvester Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in this tale of three brothers who try to make it in the world of New York wrestling in the 1940s. Problem was, Balboa's shadow loomed large, and critics agreed: Rocky this wasn't.
The gritty underdog story has legs, however, and this tale has great potential to be revisited as a remake of sorts. Today's fans seem to relate with the humans behind the characters moreso than ever, and a modern treatment of Stallone's take could find an audience.
