Wrestlers and their movies

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I'm guessing it's a WWE centric episode of the Punky Brewster reboot and D'Von is some kind of liason/adviser and if that's worst case scenario, that's great. HOWEVER, it'd be awesome if WWE Films really is producing the Punky Brewster reboot and we get Ric Flair in the George Gaynes role.

I heard there was a reboot of Punky (which I never saw the old one) but if him being a producer wasn’t weird enough, how much fighting is planned that the article says he is going to be the choreographer?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

D'VON...


...

...GET THE TAP SHOES!!!

 

[Baby Shoes]

So news came out today that an episode of Punky Brewster will feature Alexa Bliss and Charlotte. D’von is choreographing and producing probably for those scenes. This is apparently why Bliss missed RAW this week because they are in California filming.

All makes more sense and is a bit less random now.

Snippet from a Hogan article in the Tampa Tribune in 1989. Oh what could have been!

Was Ugg the famously cursed movie that John Belushi, Sam Kinison, and John Candy were all rumored to be in before they died?

It was an Inuit movie not a Caveman. Curse was probably related to Inuits being mad over Hollywood wanting to cast big clumsy white guys as Inuits!

I saw this movie was on Amazon Prime so I put in on in the background while doing work and sure enough, Big Sexy is in it. His scene is in the first 10 minutes of the film if you don't feel like watching the whole thing.

EDIT - Just finished it. Nash is actually in this film quite a bit. He has a solid supporting role. Probably his meatiest role yet. Movie wasn't very good, though.

I'm surprised Piper didn't make the cover art.

They should have gone with the one in my local VHS rental store as a kid:

Body Slam is really underrated. Dirk Benedict had that perfect smarmy Bischoff thing going, but he was Faceman so it was endearing.

Exclusive: DDP Confirms Upcoming Netflix Project

Former WWE and WCW star, DDP has revealed that he has a new show in the works as he explained the details behind it.

www.wrestlinginc.com

Neither of DDP's proposed Netflix series sound v. good. I'm sorry.

Knowing '90s wrestlers bluster though, I'm not sure if he even has a Netflix account let alone is developing series there!

That superhero one needs a character called Einsteiner.

This kinda fell off the radar, in that I hadn't seen one report on this on any wrestling sites, but Kevin Nash not only has gone all in on the mainstream recreational marijuana industry (I swear he mentioned at a recent GCW appearance that he's putting out his own strain of "diesel" weed) but he ended up having a small bit role in the new movie, Dog, as a weed farm grower. Only got about 10 minutes of screen time but for what he did, it wasn't terrible. Not the most endearing performance, but most rasslers have done much worse in film.

Trish Stratus is in a new Christmas movie.

 

[Valeyard]

She's got exactly the chops for that kind of thing, though.

In very wrestling like fashion Chavo Jr is playing the Sheik in the Von Erich movie. A Lebanese man from Michigan playing a mideast madman and later portrayed by a Hispanic man from Texas.

He does have the "look" though.

Wait Ed Farhat Sheik or Skandor Akbar?

$15? Getthefuckouttahere

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Have you been to the movies lately? It’s $12-13 during prime time hours (more in big cities) and there are rarely ‘90s wrestling icons hanging out.

I wish this wasn’t an April Fools Day joke.

Even if it was Batista’s serious attempt at stand up, it’d still be better than Brendan Schaub.

 

[Valeyard]

Dave's actually got a sense of humor, though. I can see him doing one of those shows where he just sits the whole time, telling dry-witted stories about the insane world he's lived in.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He could do a killer show just based on his life before wrestling.
