Ready to Rumble (known in Japan as: Headlock GO! GO! American Wrestling and it's video title as: Head Lock Go! Go! Professional Wrestling) is a 2000 American comedy film directed by Brian Robbins and written by Steven Brill, which is based on Turner Broadcasting's now defunct professional wrestling promotion, World Championship Wrestling. The movie draws its title from Michael Buffer's trademarked catchphrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!" The movie was talent licensed by World Championship Wrestling. Some countries such as Finland, Australia and Japan were only able to see direct-to-video premiere releases of this film.
