Who will WWE management give the lead roles to?

[strummer 0]

Cena, Kane and Austin are already confirmed. So who gets the other lead roles down the line?

 

LOCKS

 

HHH (duh)

 

Orton (again, DUH)

 

Torrie Wilson ( you know they are going to do this. It will be an "erotic thriller" where Torrie is "Tough" but "Sensual" Total Shannon Tweed vibe here for Torrie, "Action" scenes combined with her taking off her top every 5 minutes.

 

Trish Stratus (In the same vein as Torrie, it will be a tough chick combined with tons of T and A and sex.)

 

Undertaker (if he wants to, Vince worships the guy)

 

MAYBE

 

Batista

 

Jericho

 

Angle

 

Stacy Keibler (basically all the T and A divas have a chance, they might just put them all in one movie, with Christy in the lead)

 

Stephanie (if she wants to)

 

LONGSHOTS

 

Eddy

 

Booker

 

Benoit

[Jobber of the Week 0]

Orton (again, DUH)

When has he shown any decent acting chops on the mike? Between his checkered past, mediocore promos, and current pet project status, there's nothing to indicate Vince would try to promote Orton to producers as a big star.

 

I think his promotion is limited to in the ring, where ANYBODY can get a push as long as they fit a vague profile.

 

Undertaker cannot act and has an accent as thick as Austin's. But then again, Austin is acting too so eh. I guess I can picture Taker as your Generic Tough Guy in a movie fight scene as long as he's in the biker gear.

 

I think you're misequating movies and wrestling here. Even Vince knows that nobody outside hardcore WWE fandom will pay money to see Jericho, Angle, or Orton in anything more than a bit part. As great a speaker as someone like Jericho is, for instance, he isn't going to be the next Rock.

well, they gave Cena and Kane leading roles, and they have never acted before. so I guess Vince thinks we are supposed to pay to see them too.

I'd pay to see a Jericho/Benoit buddy picture where they're 2 cops on the case with different styles

 

Benoit's by the books

 

Jericho's a wild card

 

They work on the border, uncovering a Pharmecutical drug running scam in The Canadian Connection

 

If only they hadn't fired Ron Simmons who could play the exaspirated police chief who yells out "DAMN!"

 

And we all know who the real star in WWE is- BIG SHOW

Those segments were 30 seconds each...

Stop being sensible.

 

I think Shawn Michaels and Trish Stratus should do a movie called Ohmigawd Slumber Party where they talk about boys and do facials. That pesky HHH can be throwing rocks at the outside window all night trying to sneak in while Shawn confides in Trish how he has a crush on Hunter, but doesn't know how to tell him so.

 

I also think they should consider doing a movie where Chris Benoit plays a fireman. I have no reason for this request.

1. Facial?

 

2. That request does have potential.

[Guest Loss]

I'm also very intrigued by the idea of making Big Show and Rey Misterio a crime-fighting duo. Oh, the hilarity!

[strummer 0]

I could also see them doing something where Big Show has to go under cover as a Kindergarden teacher, blatant stealing yes, but that won't stop them.

[The Czech Republic 0]

Myself, I've been lobbying for a variety show/musical production of Raw, called "RAW!", for YEARS now. The Rumble commercial gets us closer to that goal.

Yes, facials.

 

Picture Shawn painting Trish's toenails while they gossip about Lita being a whore and they're both in pink and purple pajamas and wearing braces. Facials just go with that. Hunter shows up on his bicycle and starts throwing pebbles at the window and they finally end up sneaking him into the bedroom. There are some close calls where the dad (played by Ric Flair) almost catches Hunter in the girls' bedroom, but he manages to hide. Shawn develops a crush on him throughout the night while Trish spends the evening trying to avoid Hunter's friend Eugene, giving them sort of a Kelly/Screech dynamic. I think it would be sweet and sentimental.

Oh. I thought you meant he shot on her face.

Jerry Lawler stars in the "Butch Patrick Story"

 

 

[The Czech Republic 0]

How about just "The Jerry Lawler Story," that would be creepier than any cliched horror movie with a child that speaks in a monotone and says innocent child things in a supposedly creepy way. Hide And Seek, I'm looking at you.

[Guest Loss]

Jerry Lawler and R. Kelly should co-star in a HILARIOUS comedy about two guys into teenage girls who act as watchdogs over each other to make sure each one doesn't succumb to the pressures of hot 15-year olds and end up in jail. It could be called ...

 

THOINGA PUPPIES~!

i want them to make a movie about a horrible radical science expirement gone wrong. In which a half man/half bear played by mark henry destroys a small village.

I'd actually pay money to see that.

[Guest Hass of Pain]

These movies are going to be so mind numbingly horrendous that I can't even fully fathom it yet. I have a bad feeling they are going to end up coming off like a bad high school production. With four a year planned, I can't wait until "The Undertaker's trip to Hell", "Viscera Goes to White Castle", "Tha' Ladies Love Randy", "Batista vs. The Sea Monster", "What's Booker Saying?" and Shawn Michael's long anticipated gay porn come out.

 

There are only a few select guys on the entire roster who are talented enough actors to actually be bearable in a feature length movie, and most of them are people like Maven and Christian who WWE obviously don't have in mind for these projects.

 

It's insane that every year WWE tries to diversify with a themed restaurant, a record label, a football league etc when these things always just end up as money pits that cripple their bottom line. They are budgeting 10-15 million per movie, and with four planned per year this could be disastrous. It's really not a risk I would take with my own money.

It's funny that few have mentioned the guy on the current roster with the most actual movie experience: Rob Van Dam. Mind you, he's never had to carry anything but you can't tell me he couldn't be a decent action star.

After BLACK MASK 2, I don't think Rob should ever want to do another movie.

I think Batista would be awesome in movies. He speaks well, has great facial expressions, and a great look. Tell me you wouldn't pay to see Roadhouse 2 with Dave as the best bouncer in the business.

[justcoz 0]

I happen to really like Batista's chances at crossover success. He has the perfect look and I could see Hollywood being more into his presence than HHH.

 

I never saw any of Rob Van Dam's straight to cable/video action flicks but I'd like to see him and Tajiri get some movie roles as well.

 

Big Show, as already mentioned, would be great but I see him being spotlighted in something more like a television sitcom. Maybe he can move next door to Lou Ferrigno on King of Queens or something.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I hope Benoit does a love story.

 

Also, Triple H was great in the horrible film "Blade: Trinity". Seriously, the only bright spot.

When Goodnight Icecream Man or whatever its called makes $1.28 on its opening weekend, this will join other great ideas like the WBF, the XFL and the World, sparing us from more WWE superstars "acting."

dude, don't EVER compare Torrie Wilson to Shannon Tweed. Shannon doesn't deserve that. at all.

Just a question.. are these films going to actually be released in theaters, or just like straight to WWE Home Video type of things?

Oh man, I REALLY hope it's just straight to video. Less humiliating that way.

Gooker 2005 material here.

 

As a fan of b-movies who doesn't mind seeing Vince's idiotic non-wrestling projects bomb horribly, sounds fantastic.

 

Maybe they can buy up "franchises" going cheap to add "name value."

 

Hell, put Torrie in Barb Wire 2. And see if you can't get Snitsky a part as the villain in Baby Geniuses III.
