Review
Mad Bull (1977) starring Alex Karras and Steve Sandor, is a 1977 television movie based around professional wrestling.
Strengths – Shows a good representation of how dangerous fans could be during the kayfabe era. Also, exhibited the way wrestling was viewed and the disapproval wrestling fans and wrestlers felt from the general public.
Weakness – Lack of professional wrestlers other than Mike Mazurki and Hard Boiled Haggerty. General discussion about the improbable ending to the movie.
