ACAPULCO, Mexico (June 28) --- World and Olympic champion Jordan BURROUGHS (USA) is arguably the most technical wrestler of our generation. With that in mind, and knowing how wrestling is portrayed in movies, we asked the GOAT to critique famous wrestling-related movie scenes.

Burroughs broke down everything from the mats, to the fans watching in the gym and everything in between in our latest #OffTheMat special.

Here are the movies that Burroughs broke down:

  • Vision Quest(1985)
  • Saved by the Bell (1989)
  • The Expendables (2010)
  • Foxcatcher (2014)
  • The Last Champion (2020)
  • Riverdale (Season 2 / Episode 11)
