| 0:00.0 | The world of professional wrestling is full of some of the most outlandish characters |
| 0:13.4 | ever seen on TV and sports entertainment is a melting pot of drama filled to the brim |
| 0:19.4 | with potential storytelling in cinematic form. Although there are many fantastic tales |
| 0:25.3 | to be told and many perfect actors to start in them, viewers haven't been given many |
| 0:29.9 | wrestling biopics. Therefore, as fans of the industry, it is our job to create hypothetical |
| 0:35.6 | movies for ourselves and imagine how fantastic they be. I'm Adam Wilborn from Whatculture, |

| 1:35.3 | as he starred in the movie Walk Like a Panther, which centered on a group of former |
| 1:39.4 | performers who returned to the ring to save their local pub. Finley's legacy is apparent, |
| 1:44.3 | but not as widespread as it deserves to be. As such, a movie based on his life and career |
| 1:50.3 | would do wonders for him and those involved. 8. Michael's and Hart, KJ Apper and Jared Leto, |
| 1:57.6 | If you were to ask a wrestling fan about the most significant moment in the industry, |
