''Pro Wrestler vs Zombies'' is a 2013 movie that, well, pits [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin professional wrestlers against an army of zombies]]. The plot is paper-thin, involving someone named Angus (portrayed by a local Pittsburgh wrestler, Ashton Amherst, and dubbed over by another actor with an atrocious Irish accent) booking a number of professional wrestlers for a private exhibition and sics an army of zombies on them seemingly in revenge for Wrestling/ShaneDouglas breaking the neck of Angus's brother during a wrestling match with a botched piledriver. The film had its first showing in the United States on November 22nd, 2013 in Uniontown, PA after showing in England and Germany. The film features Wrestling/RoddyPiper, Wrestling/KurtAngle, Wrestling/MattHardy, Shane Douglas, Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan, Facade, and Reby Sky as themselves as wrestlers as well as many others.

* MercyKill: Piper offs a zombified Duggan with his own 2x4. It's surprisingly touching.



* PatientZero: There are two zombies made in the film by a ritual. Damaging them seems to hurt Angus and eliminating them and Angus seems to make the zombies completely vanish.

!Tropes in this film:
* BeatStillMyHeart: Barbara's heart beats a few times after Angus [[AndShowItToYou rips it from her chest]] and before he takes a big bite.
* ClosedCircle: The setting for the exhibition is a prison which gets locked down, and the main characters have their cell phones confiscated before the match for unspecified reasons. And then, the last third of the movie ignores it by cutting to Piper and Schuman being outside with no explanation for how they got out.
* IfIDoNotReturn: Douglas and Duggan share promises that if one of them falls in battle, the other will tell their family.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Fortunately for the protagonists, one of the prison lockers seems to be loaded with [[BatterUp baseball bats]], [[CrowbarCombatant crowbars]], and [[MacheteMayhem machetes]]. And, of course, Hacksaw Jim Duggan wields his trademark 2x4.
* NeckSnap: Used several times by the wrestlers to kill the zombies, generally from a sleeper hold.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Different throughout the film. Sometimes [[ZombieGait they lurch]]. Sometimes they run. They range from ripping apart victims with their bare hands to only being able to ineffectually pummel the good guys. Some of them recover from horrible injuries, but most seem to die with any mortal wound that would kill a human. For the most part, the infection seems to be spread by bite, but later, older corpses are raised by Angus. And all of the zombies vanish after [[PatientZero the two ritual victims]] are killed.
* ReallyGetsAround: During an argument regarding whose slept with who, it's established that Piper has slept with every one of the female wrestlers in the movie.
* ShootTheDog: Piper offs a zombified Duggan in what was arguably a mercy kill.
