What happens in Ready to Rumble from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Sewage workers Gordie Boggs (David Arquette) and Sean Dawkins (Scott Caan) are not just your average laborers; they are avid fans of professional wrestling. They pride themselves on their extensive knowledge of the sport’s history, though they remain blissfully unaware that it is merely a scripted form of entertainment. Their admiration is particularly directed towards Jimmy King (Oliver Platt), the reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion, who embodies a regal character on television. Unbeknownst to the duo, King is a washed-up wrestler who has squandered his wealth and shows little respect for those around him.
