Below the Belt (1980)

3 plot holes

★★☆☆☆

Starring: James Gammon, John C. Becher, Mildred Burke, Regina Baff

Plot hole: Given Rosa just started wrestling it seems unlikely she'd get a world title match so soon. That and when she bit Tommy on the lip she should've been disqualified.

Plot hole: Given Tommy assaults the referee during the match, even yanking his shirt off, he should've disqualified her.

Plot hole: It seems hard to believe that a barely five foot tall,100-pound woman with no wrestling experience (Rosa) could face and beat someone who looks like she's got ten years' experience, looks like she's 6-7 inches taller, and outweighs her by 40-50 pounds (Terrible Tommy Dukes).
