'Pro Wrestlers Vs Zombies' Movie Trailer: Rowdy Roddy Piper Battles The Undead
There is a movie called Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies. At this very instant, you either know exactly what that movie is and want to see it, or are rolling your eyes at the absolute, utterly insane absurdity of the idea. And still want to see it.
Written and directed by Cody Knotts, Pro Wrestlers vs. Zombies stars "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle and Matt Hardy as a group of wrestlers booked for an event at an abandoned prison. But guess what? The prison isn't abandoned and I bet you can't guess who the new inmates are. Yup, zombies!
The trailer for this wacky film is now online and it totally lives up (or down, depending on your point of view) to your expectations. Check it out below.
Thanks to Principalities of Darkness for the trailer.
