Other mistake: When Tommy tries splashing Rosa during their match she hits the ring mat with her chest and stomach yet seconds later she's somehow knocked out. I never saw her head hit after multiple viewings of that scene.
Below the Belt (1980)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Robert Fowler
Starring: James Gammon, John C. Becher, Mildred Burke, Regina Baff
The ending sees Rosa somehow win over a veteran of 11 years or so, everyone celebrating with her in such ludicrous fashion that they forget this is a title match, she didn't win the title. Her skills were lacking so the actual wrestler, Jane O'Brian carried the match rather well.

Trivia: Director Rob Fowler reportedly wanted Raquel Welch as Rosa Rubinsky since he liked One Million Years B.C. But the studio insisted on the lesser known Regina Baff.
