In the 1980's, professional wrestler Robin Ramzinski, better known by his ring name Randy "The Ram" Robinson, rises to prominence. In the 2000's, now past his prime, he wrestles on weekends for independent promotions in New Jersey, resides in a trailer park, and works part-time at a supermarket, with his manager Wayne demeaningly disparaging his background. A regular patron at a strip club named Cheeques, he befriends a stripper named Pam, better known by her stage name Cassidy.
