About This Movie

NWA Battle of the Belts, directed by Eddie Gossett, is an interesting slice of wrestling culture from 1985. The atmosphere in the Sundome, packed with vocal fans in Tampa, adds a raw energy that’s palpable. You’ve got the National Wrestling Alliance at the forefront, showcasing some serious talent from Championship Wrestling From Florida. The pacing really keeps you on your toes, with bouts that flow into one another, capturing that frenetic spirit of the live events. The performances are somewhat theatrical, as you'd expect, drawing you into the rivalries and the drama unfolds in real-time. Not to mention, the practical effects of wrestlers selling moves—there’s a certain art to it that you don’t often see in today’s wrestling. This event stands out for its grassroots feel and authenticity.

Consider the wrestling styles and rivalries showcased. · Take note of the atmosphere created by the live audience. · Don't overlook the significance of the event in the wrestling landscape of the 80s.
