I think that's rather dismissive if one only likes it for the wrasslin or the titties. And really, I think the point of Tomei wasn't to be erotic but...sad?

Sure I'm a wrestling afficiondo, but THE WRESTLER was fucking great. No narrative/filmatic fat, everything and everybody with a purpose and doing their job, Rourke showing again how he was a great actor who pissed his career away for too many years, and Tomei getting a chance to rebuttal some of those who won't let go of that MY COUSIN VINNY win.

Of course Darren A. the director himself said that THE WRESTLER was a boxing melodrama, just made at a time when that sport was dead, so he picked another physical beat-down profession.
