Vyce Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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 Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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 ::
Promoter Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Come on, the wwe has to keep the annual tradition of throwing away millions and trying to top the failures of the past.
Art Sandusky Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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.
Vyce Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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.
The Amazing Rando Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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~
Dangerous A Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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 Posted July 22, 2004 Report 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.
Australian Pride Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Guess this means there wont be a Cena heel turn anytime soon.
tommytomlin Posted July 23, 2004 Report Posted July 23, 2004 Why Australia? Tax breaks, fully functioning studios, decent exchange rate, better and cheaper crews.
Guest tangerine Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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.
Guest combat_rock Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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.
Australian Pride Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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. 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.
Guest INXS Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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.
Guest JoeyStyles Posted July 23, 2004 Report 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.
2GOLD Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 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).

The HHH movie has hit a snag and is delayed but will happen. 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!"
