Also, I seem to be the only person who found the whole daughter storyline to be underdeveloped and grating. Evan Rachel Wood wasn't as great as a lot of people have been saying, in my view.

I don't think most people are seeing it as a surprising expose of the world of wrestling. They are seeing it as a story, because they have heard it is a good story and that it has a brilliant performance by Mickey Rourke.
I haven't seen it yet, I hope to soon.
