Plot Summary:
Robin Ramzinski, a professional wrestler famously known as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, gained stardom in the 1980s. Now past his prime, Randy wrestles part-time for independent promotions in New Jersey while working a demeaning job at a supermarket under a manager named Wayne, who often mocks his wrestling career. Randy frequently visits a strip club, where he befriends a stripper named Cassidy, who, like him, is no longer in her prime for the industry.
After winning a local match, Randy agrees to a 20th-anniversary rematch with his most famous rival, “The Ayatollah,” hoping it will revive his career. To prepare, Randy starts intense training, including steroid use. However, after participating in a hardcore match, he suffers a heart attack backstage and undergoes emergency bypass surgery. His doctor warns him to stop using steroids and retire from wrestling, as his heart can no longer withstand the physical strain. Reluctantly, Randy retires and takes on a full-time role at the supermarket.
At Cassidy’s suggestion, Randy attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter Stephanie, whom he abandoned as a child. Although she initially rejects him, they eventually bond during a visit to a beachfront boardwalk they used to frequent. They plan to meet for dinner soon after. Randy also makes romantic advances toward Cassidy, but she rejects him due to her profession. This leads to a heated argument, leaving Randy upset. He later finds comfort in the company of his wrestling friends at a match.
