Blu-ray Review – Pro-Wrestlers vs. Zombies

There are unavoidable expectations in place when sitting down to watch a movie titled "Pro-Wrestlers vs. Zombies."

The helmer depends on established personalities to lead the way, along with a healthy dose of gore, keeping the feature regular with bursts of violence and meaty, troubled acting.
