Robin Ramzinski (Mickey Rourke), stage named Randy "The Ram" Robinson, is a professional wrestler and was a celebrity in the 1980s. Twenty years later, he is now past his prime, working as a supermarket laborer and wrestling on weekends for independent promotions in the Elizabeth, New Jersey area. He struggles to pay the rent for his trailer and his supermarket boss, Wayne (Todd Barry), continually derides him. He also regularly visits a strip club where he has befriended a stripper, Cassidy (Marisa Tomei). Though still beautiful she, like Randy, is getting old for her job. Randy agrees to a proposed 20th anniversary rematch in Wilmington with his most notable opponent, "The Ayatollah" (Ernest Miller).
Randy steps up his training, including steroid injections. At his next show, Randy wrestles in a brutal hardcore match. His opponent, Necro Butcher, attacks him with a staple gun. A bloody Randy is treated for his wounds backstage, but suffers a heart attack. Randy receives coronary artery bypass surgery and is told that his heart cannot take the stress of wrestling. He cancels his upcoming matches and takes an extra deli counter job at the supermarket. At Cassidy's suggestion, Randy visits his estranged adult daughter Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood), whom he abandoned when she was a child. She curses him for not being a supportive father and rejects him. When Cassidy meets with Randy to buy gifts for Stephanie, she reveals she has a son too, and Randy makes romantic advances on her which she rejects on the grounds of her job. Randy gives the gifts to his daughter and apologizes. The two bond over a visit to a beachfront boardwalk, and they agree to meet for dinner on the coming Saturday. Randy goes to Cassidy's strip club to thank her but she once more rejects his romantic feelings, which results in an angry exchange. Upset, Randy spectates a wrestling match and receives friendly attention from fellow wrestlers. Randy gets drunk with them at a bar, snorts cocaine, and has sex with a woman. He sleeps the entire next day and misses his dinner with Stephanie. He goes to her house at night to apologize, but she cries and tells him to break it off permanently. At the supermarket deli counter, a patron recognizes him as The Ram. Randy gets agitated and cuts his hand, then creates chaos in the store and quits. Inspired by the patron and with nothing left, he decides to return to wrestling. He reschedules the rematch with The Ayatollah and reconciles with Cassidy, who warns him of his heart condition. However, he goes on stage, explaining to her and the crowd in an emotional statement that regardless of the real world, he truly belongs in the ring where he is loved and admired by his fans. During the match, Randy begins to feel heart pain and becomes unsteady, but continues nonetheless. The Ayatollah pressures Randy to pin him down and finish it, but Randy climbs the top rope. He feels he must deliver his signature finishing move one more time, a diving head butt called "The Ram Jam". In tears, he salutes the crowd and leaps, the screen fades to black. |
