The first time Todd Barry's Wayne shows up in The Wrestler, he's berating The Ram from atop a giant ladder. This should have been a great set-up for later in the film, after we've seen the Ram/Necro Butcher match. Instead of The Ram just yelling at Wayne behind the deli counter, he should have stalked back to the warehouse, saw Wayne up on the ladder again, grabbed a table and some conveniently-placed barbed wire - this would have been established earlier by having someone say "Why is all this barbed-wire in the loading dock of a supermarket?" - and then climbed the ladder to chokeslam Wayne from the top through the barbed-wire table in the back of the supermarket.Later, they could have revealed that Necro Butcher's day job was Regional Vice President of Acme, and he could have promoted Randy to the manager of the local store since he'd beaten Wayne. This scene would have been capped off by Necro Butcher giving The Ram a name tag that said "Randy - Store Manager" and proudly stapling it to The Ram's head. Freeze frame on The Ram smiling proudly, his new name tag stapled to his head, blood trickling down his face while "Metal Health" plays and the credits roll.
My head is literally spinning!
