Hey, Luke Harper is in a movie that actually looks good (and comes from the director of "We Are Still Here")

I'm so stoked for this. My buddy is the director. He's not a wrestling fan, so he didn't cast him for any reason other than he was impressed with his talents. It's going to be great.

Reviving this one for a worthwhile go out of your way to see movie if you are into wacky Troma-like cult classic in the making stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpyQkjRc9rg

Its been out for a few weeks but just caught this on demand over the weekend. Holy SHIT this was bonkers and hilariously so bad its so good....take one spoonful of kung-fu parody, another amount of proper exploitation film homage, a whole lot of 80s referencing, and then mix that with a general Troma formula and you got this piece of shittastic work that hopefully will get a shelf life down the road as a midnight cult film.

Where rasslin ties into this is that they got Don Frye in a really hilarious role that gets alot of screen time, Tiny Lister as a less than intimidating bad guy that goes nowhere fast, Judo Gene Lebelle in a wacky cameo, Maryse in a role you probably wouldnt even notice she was in, and then Goldberg in a role that I have no idea how they talked him into this. Him and Frye have an epicly bad fight scene inside a car wash that needs to be seen. Kudos for Goldberg for signing up to this, he was one of the main highlights for sure.

The cast is pretty amazing for this low-rent (clearly done intentionally) flick. Mostly 80s callback cameos but it was vast. Don The Dragon Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock, Ernie Reyes Jr, Danny Trejo, Michael Dukekoff, Michael Winslow of Police Academy, Richard Greico, Ron Jeremy, The London Brothers, Tommy Davidson, Chuck Zito, etc, etc

This is really a one of a kind parody film that has to be seen to believed how awfully awesome it is.

I'm about to watch this on Amazon Prime. Yes, Mick Foley is in it but my first though was "hey, it's the hot chick from Silicon Valley!".

Was not expecting to see Batista in an Ip Man movie, but I'm so in for it!

I like Nick Frost and Stephen Merchant well enough but the fact that this is a WWE-approved feature doesn't exactly get my hopes up.

Wow, that looks horrific. Wasn't Vince Vaughn supposed to be playing Jake The Snake Roberts? He's now credited as Hutch. That was the only thing I was looking forward to in this movie. No idea why The Rock attached himself to this.

Looks good to me. Not perfect, but I love Paige so I'll take what's given.

The Rock was extremely hands-on in producing this movie. I think it's the first time he's done that.

I await the hand scrubbing away of AJ Lee.

I know the last several Marines had a handful of WWE people with Miz but I was really tempted to pick up Marine 6 when I saw it the other day since the Miz is joined by HBK and Becky Lynch

Isn't Wade involved in that competition show that Punk did on Netflix too? Bad News Barrett getting some of that Sandler money. Can't wait til he is Nick Swardson's buddy in Sandler's next film.

I didn't realize this until I watched it, but Latin Lover is in Roma. I was thinking of his gimmick from years ago constantly during his scenes.

i typically hate buying birthday cards because a lot of times I find them a waste. Rather put more money into a gift or whatever so usually when I need to get them, I go to Dollar Tree as they have decent stuff usually 2 for $1.

Had to stop and pick up a couple cards yesterday and I always look at the movie selection at Dollar Tree, as they sometimes get some decent movies in blu-ray and from major studios, not just straight to video junk. Yesterday was mostly trash but I saw a WWE logo.

Now, I didn’t skim this thread but I hadn’t even heard of this “WWE Studios” release - Queens of the Ring.

There is no one in the cast I am familiar with based on names alone. Outside the credit information on the bottom back, they don’t even try to pretend to sell you on the cast of the film, they simply state it has cameos from CM Punk, The Miz and Eve Torres. Low budget comedy about a mom who tries to bond with her estranged son by training to be a WWE Diva. And the fun really begins when she gets her fellow cashiers to join in!

Figured a dollar is a good way for me to hate a future 97 minutes of my life.

BAH GAWD! WWE Films did a ripoff of Like Mike featuring Keith Lee (in a sparkly vest) and The Miz in supporting roles and Otis speaking in a normal voice.

Plus Ken Marino as the villain for some reason.

I probably will find some weird enjoyment out of this one the same way I did Thunderstruck. This is probably less offensive trash because it is a movie I would’ve loved as a kid like Rookie of the Year.

Baby Shoes, according to Friend of TSM and EVOLVE star Anthony Greene, Babatunde uses Hardcore Holly's entrance music in this movie.

So how many times have you watched this, brother?
