Vyce 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 When I first saw the title I had flashbacks of "Cool as Ice", but now i'm just thinking it will be like any other movie on Action Max or The Action Channel. Sadly, I thought the same thing. People, let's give Cena the benefit of the doubt. He could make this work. Hell, he already looks a little bit like a steroid-abusing Matt Damon.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 This movie and idea is whack. I wouldn't even download this utter shit. Why is it that if a guy can cut an entertaining promo people automatically assume he can act? I'm not saying Cena can't act because he hasn't done TV (non wrestling related) or movies, but it doesn't mean he can act. Hogan can cut a promo but he's a horrible actor, same with Rock. Remember WWE's track record with non wrestling related projects and you can already fortell where this whole "WWE Films" thing is going: right down the shitter. :: thinks back to XFL and WBF and throws the fuck up :: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 For some reason, I hope it's a bizarre indy arthouse film about John's emotions and sexual confusion. As do I. I would seriously mark out if WWE betrayed their generally lowbrow audience and made a really artsy film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 The problem with this WWE films idea is that it's about 4 years too late. If they had done this back in 2004, they could have hit right upon the major popularity of the company / industry, and probably gotten a good return on a few WWE-produced movies starring Rock or Stone Cold. Honestly, though, I would pay to see a movie starring Mick Foley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 "if they had done this back in 2004" A simple typo...i let it slide, but point it out just cause i'm an ass. "i would pay to see a movie starring Mick Foley" Definitely. He's got range~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I've been burned twice by shitty ass movies starring the Rock (and screw all of you who are too soft on "The Rundown", it sucked a dead donkey's balls) and I will not be burned again by wannabe WWE thespians.

razazteca 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 So Cena really is the next Mark Wahlberg. More like a young William Shatner with all of the pausing he does in his promos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest tangerine Report post Posted July 23, 2004 There is only a tiny handful of WWE Workers whom I could buy as a legit actor. Triple H. Mick Foley. The Big Show. That's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest combat_rock Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Guess this means there wont be a Cena heel turn anytime soon. Well, they could do like they did with the Rock and and have him turn heel because of this. Anyway, I'm willing to give it a chance, unless all the reviews say it's the piece of shit I assume it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 23, 2004 One thing I think we've overlooked. Cena has quite possibly the most hilariously bad facials in wrestling (Anyone catch his "ow, you're hurting me" face?) That can't carry over well in a movie. I'd see it for the car wreck appeal.

I could probably buy Ric Flair playing a 'crazy old man' type character in a supporting role. He seems to be good at that sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest INXS Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Get your Theories ready a). HHH dropped the movie wanting to have a longer reign with the title and to bury and re-bury the raw roster b). HHH saw the shitty script and decided to kill Cena's momentum by getting him OFF the tv (for the shooting) and to let him carry the load of the crapfest the movie is This Cena movie and the HHH movie are two entirely different projects. The HHH movie has hit a snag and is delayed but will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JoeyStyles Report post Posted July 23, 2004 So Cena really is the next Mark Wahlberg. He could be the next Dork Diggler. This Cena movie and the HHH movie are two entirely different projects. The HHH movie has hit a snag and is delayed but will happen. It will happen until HHH starts getting acting lessons. There is only a tiny handful of WWE Workers whom I could buy as a legit actor. Triple H. Mick Foley. The Big Show. They are actors worthy of a Raspberry award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right Triple H is in the Renegade-type movie while Cena will be in the movie that is a cross betweeen Walking Tall, Cool as Ice and...a pile of lint I guess. Also, Foley cannot act. Calling Foley a good actor is like hearing, "And the Oscar goes to...Keanu Reeves!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
