I don't know how They Live ended up having two professional wrestlers giving us the worst fight scene since Kirk took on a Gorn.

But at least we got some badass one liners.

I hope you're not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David's never been a wrestler, and second, it's a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It's been a while since I saw it and didn't see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.

That’s a brilliant fight. You can think of it more as a very concise second act rather than a hilariously drawn-out fight scene.
