Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Here are some news bits from the 10/20/03 Observer -Next movie rumored for Rock is Terminator 4. Apparantly there have been meetings to do this even though T3 was slightly disappointing. (grossing around 150 mill) Arnold said he won't do moview for the next several years and suggested Rock for the role. The talks were to do release in the summer of 2005, which would mean work would be done next year. -A deal has been finalized for Rock to star in combo with cartoon and live characters in a comedy called "Instant Karma". He'll play a safe cracker who dies, and is reincarnated as a series of animals. It is a New Line Cinema project with a $70 million budget and will start filming in April. Because he has another committment for earlier in the spring, it makes his chances of him working Mania a long shot. -HHH is scheduled to get married next week, take a 2 week honeymoon, and be back on TV and house shows for a few weeks to build for Survivor Series and then goes back to filming his second movie. -Survivor Series on 11/16 in Dallas at this point looks to be Goldberg vs HHH, Vince vs Taker in a buried alive match, and Kane vs Shane in some sort of gimmick match. (yeah, more McMahon-0-Mania, nice to see they aren't going away anytime soon) -Bobby Heenan talked with Vince last week, basically telling him his health is good and he is interested in doing something and brought up wanting to do Mania. Vince told him, "I'll see you at Wrestlemania, if not sooner". They casually talked about some sort of television role.(crosses fingers and prays Heenan takes Lawler's spot) There has also been talk of Heenan working the TNA big show with one idea being as ref for Hogan vs Jarrett.

Guest IB2BLACK Report post Posted October 18, 2003 I read in Entertainment Weekly, that Rock is making $15 million a film and he maybe getting $20 million a film. Fuck wrestling, if you can that kind of cash for 2-3 months of work. Furthermore, he can do 3 movies a year. Imagine $45-$60 million in a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Yes yes it is. Why would a wrestler want to wrestle!? HAHAHA! Anyways....jeez...what's with all the wrestlers breaking into acting. It seems to be all the bad workers(save rock) doing it to. Hell that'd be great if all the bad workers did it and left the good workers to rule the WWE.

That's the fucking best news I've heard in a while. I'm so glad that Bobby overcome his cancer and is ready to come back in one way or another. That just really makes me happy to hear. I'm such a huge fan of his, it's just great. With that said, I wish he had a better WWE product to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2003 Heenan should stay away, unless he needs the money. The best part about the teams of Heenan, Vince and Gorilla were they would play off of each other back then when the shows were live. Today he'll have 10 people yelling in his ear feeding him his lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least on Smackdown we have Tazz, although he's even better on Velocity because he knows none of the management watch so he can break kayfabe as often as he likes. *under breath* pleasefirelawlerpleasefirelawlerbringinsomeonewho'snotobsessedwithbreastspleasefirelawlerpleasefirelawler...

Heh, now you know how I felt when I went to Unforgiven. I've said it before, but it's probably not a good decision to buy tickets to a PPV in advance. You never know what kind of crap that they will book. At least you'll get to see HHH win...maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds more like something Ventura would say than Bobby. Bobby usually made fun of the faces and cheered on the heels. Jesse usually called Gorilla out on his hypocrisy.
