The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown! recap
A 2015 direct-to-video film made with WWE, with wrestlers voicing Stone Age versions of themselves. Fred has promised Wilma a holiday but has no money, and Mr. Slate will not help. At a fair, Fred sets up a boxing challenge using Barney's pet hopparoo, which leads to Barney beating the wrestler CM Punkrock. Fred sees money in it and, with a seafood seller named Mr. McMagma, invents wrestling as a spectator sport, staging events with John Cenastone, Rey Mysteriopal, the Undertaker and others. The first show makes enough for the holiday, but Fred gets greedy and books a bigger event at Bedrock Stadium, announcing a rematch between Barney and Punkrock without Barney's agreement. When Barney refuses to fight, the other wrestlers walk out in disgust at how Fred treated his friend, leaving Fred alone in the ring with Punkrock and his allies.
The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown! ending explained
Fred is beaten badly, and Barney, seeing his friend take the punishment, joins the fight and brings the other wrestlers back with him. Wilma and Betty scare off the Boulder twins, Bamm-Bamm knocks down Marble Henry, and Barney's side wins to a roaring crowd. Fred gives up wrestling, sells the idea to McMagma while keeping the profits, and the Flintstones, the Rubbles and the wrestlers all go on holiday together.
