- The right side, bottom.

- Right side, bug spray.

- Hmm?

- Go ahead. Once more.

- Now give it to me, brother.

- All right, man.

F***. Come on. Let's-

- Couple mousetraps?

- Load 'em and set 'em in the ring, body slam.

Hmm. Let's do it.

- How you doing, sir?

- How you doing?

- What's going on, my man?

- Tell me, what do you think? What do you think about this?

Huh?

- That'll work.

- Okay.

Come here.

Ah!

- I don't look good, but I feel good.

- Yeah.

So, my- my knees, my back,

anything you need me to do, sir.

Just maybe, uh,

keep the running to a minimum.

Like maybe I can hit the ropes once, take a bump for you,

but, like, no crisscrossing, please.

This hard-core stuff. What do you-

Talk to me about it. What do you wanna do tonight?

Well, are you cool with the staples?

- Staples?

- Staple gun.

- What do you mean?

- Like... staple gun.

- Staple gun.

- Yeah. You never did it before?

- Uh, no. Does that hurt?

- Silly question, but yeah.

- Man, uh, not so bad going in.

- Yeah.

Kind of scary. You know,

you got a big metal thing up against you, but...

pulling them out, they're gonna leave a couple little holes,

a little bit of blood loss there.

- Rock and roll.

- Thank you, sir. It's an honor. Thank you.

- Take it easy with that staple gun.

- No problem, sir.

Dead! You're so dead!

You're so dead!

You're so dead!

One, two, three!

Ladies and gentlemen,

your winner, the legend...

Randy "The Ram" Robinson!

Bang your head

Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Ram Jam! Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Great show, Ram.

Great job.

There he is.

Hell of a match out there, man.

Hell of a match.

- Thank you.

- Put yourself through hell, man. Great. Good work. Way to go.

- It was f***ing insane, Ram.

- Let me just get some glue for that.

Crazy sh*t, man. Crazy.

Hey. You okay with that table hit?

- I'll live, sir. I'll live.

- Yeah. Okay.

Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Ram Jam! Ram Jam! Ram Jam!

Ah, sh*t.

- Got a lot of staples. We gotta take 'em out.

- F*** it. Take it easy, Doc.

- Hold still.

- Ow!

Goddamn it.

You sick f***! You sick f***!

You sick f***!

You sick f***! You sick f***!

It's dinnertime!

Oh, f***!

Goddamn it!

Yeah! Yeah! Hit him!

Yeah, get him!

Yeah!

- Ram!

- Yeah! Use his leg!

Ram, use my leg!

Use it! Use my leg!

Use his leg! Use his leg!

- Come on! Use my leg!

- Use his leg! Use his leg!

- Yeah! Yeah!

- Use his leg! Use his leg!

Use his leg! Use his leg!

Yeah! Yeah!

F*** you, Necro! F*** you!

Okay. Let me get this out.

This is in there pretty good, Ram.

Ah, f***.

I'm gonna kill him!

Yeah.

- You're good?

- Yeah.

I'm almost done.

F*** you, Necro!

You're so dead! You're so dead!

You're so dead!

You're so dead!

Okay, Ram. You're good.

Go take a shower.

Good work, man.

I think we did what we wanted to do.

No, first time, coming off-

Way over.

Ram. Ram!

Try and relax.

Just try and relax.

Marlene, can I have some help in here, please?

Put your arms down.

Okay, try and relax. Calm down.

Okay, just relax.

Okay. Very good. Okay.

Calm down.

- Okay. Thanks, Marlene.

- Okay.

- Ah, f***.

- Mr. Ramzinski?

Call me Randy.

Randy, I'm Dr. Moayedizadeh.

So, how's it all looking?

Well, much better than before the bypass.

Oh. So, we're in the clear?

We're all good?

Well, it's your heart.

You need to start taking better care of it.

Like how?

What do I do?

Well, for starters,

you're going to be on a slew of medications.

And the stuff that you're putting in your body-

you need to cut it out.

I know. I know. I can-

I can- I can do without that.

When can I, uh,

get back in the gym and, uh...

start working out?

As far as exercise goes, it's still okay,

as long as it's moderate.

Doc, I'm a professional wrestler.

That's not a good idea.

Well, what do you mean?

Well, your heart has been through a lot.

It won't be able to handle

a strenuous activity.

Well, I can slow my routine down.

I can- I can just pace myself.

- Mr. Ramzinski-

- Randy. Call me Randy.

Randy, you almost died.

Next time, you might not be so lucky.

Well, hey, Doc.

Thanks for all the good news.

This copy's for you.

And somebody left this for you.

He said he was your promoter.

Robin Ramzinski, come to the pharmacy.

- Your prescription's ready.

- Oh.

- Robin Ramzinski?

- Randy.

Just sign here, please.

Thank you.

Here you go.

My money.

One, two, three, four, five-

Welcome home.

Oh, sh*t.

Ooh.

Hey, Adam!

- You wanna play Nintendo?

- All right.

Okay.

Let's see what you got there.

- All right. Here comes the Ayatollah.

- Shaking in my boots.

- Here we go. Come on.

- So, you hear about Call of Duty 4?

Did I what?

- Call of Duty 4?

- What?

- Call of Duty 4.

- Call "It" Duty 4?

- Call of Duty 4.

- Call of Duty 4?

- Yeah. It's pretty cool, actually.

- Really?

This game is so old.

- Wh-What's it about?

- It's a war game. Most all the other Call of Duties-

they were, like, based on World War II,

but this one's with Iraq.

- Oh, yeah?

- And- Yeah.

You switch off between a Marine...

and an "S" and "S" British special operative...

- so it's pretty cool.

- Wow.

Hold on. All right. Hold on.

There we go.

All right. Here- There! There it is!

Ram Jam! You're finished.

- Okay, one more.

- I gotta go.

- Huh?

- I- I gotta leave.

- I just gave you an ass-whipping. Don't you wanna get even?

- Nah, that's okay.

- All right.

- I- I'll catch you later, all right?

All right.

See you later, man.

- Do your push-ups, brother.

- All right.

Oh, f***.

- Hey!

- Hey.

Ram man!

Been a while.

- Hmm.

- Hi.

Yeah, I was in the neighborhood,

thought maybe we could go grab a- a hamburger.

I'm working.

Okay. You know, maybe later.

You okay?

- Could we talk for a second?

- Sure.

Sure. What's up?

What's up?

No, I mean somewhere quiet, not-

Randy-

I can't leave with a customer, you know.

Listen. I had a heart attack.

I know.

- Where you parked?

- Out in the back.

Good. Go to your car.

I'll meet you out there in 15 minutes.

So, they're just f***ing,

or what's the story?

You know what?

I'm gonna- I'm gonna go on break.

- I need a cigarette. I can't quit.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- Thanks. I appreciate it.

No, it's okay.

- When was it?

- Uh, a couple weeks ago.

Oh. How are you feeling?

Oh. I don't feel like Hercules.

- What happened?

- I just-

I was walking in the dressing room,

and the guys told me I just...

dropped like a brick, and, you know,

I don't remember nothin'.

Now the doctors tell me, uh...

that I can't-

that I can't wrestle no more.

What are you gonna do?

You know, it just don't feel... right.

And that's why-

That's why I wanted to talk to you, you know.

'Cause I don't want to be alone.

Randy.

You should be with your family now.

Don't you have a daughter?

Where's your daughter?

Uh, my daughter-

she don't like me very much.

I don't believe it.

Everybody needs a father...

and... trust me...

this kind of thing brings people together.
