Scooby-Doo And His Gang Will Be Solving Their Next Mystery At WrestleMania!!
The Kidd here...
I'd be lying if I told you I saw this one coming, but today WWE Studios announced that they're heading into a co-producing partnership with Warner Bros. on an animated Scooby-Doo feature that would have Scooby, Shaggy and the rest of the Mystery Machine gang solving a mystery at WrestleMania.
Really?
When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania, the entire gang travels in the Mystery Machine to WWE City to attend the epic event. However, when a mysterious bear appears and threatens to ruin the show, Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred work with WWE Superstars to solve the case.
Hmmm... I figured they would have tried to crack some deeper unsolved mystery for wrestling fans, like "Why do they continue to force John Cena down our throats?" or "What happened to Zack Ryder's push?" Sadly, we've have to ponder those answers on our own.
Triple H, John Cena, Kane, The Miz, Brodus Clay, Santino Marella, Sin Cara and AJ Lee are already confirmed to voice themselves in animated form for the film, as well as Vince McMahon, and it looks like this one will only take the direct-to-video route.
I wonder who'll end up as the masked man... I hope it isn't someone who already wears a mask. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to bring back Doink though.

George "The Animal" Steele is the Bear ...he stopped shaving years ago and this is a common case of mistaken identity.

This new season... going by so fast!

Really. This new Scooby Doo series has been great. They had freaking Jeffrey Combs on as a Lovecraft pastiche and Harlan Ellison as himself!
-
Make a sweet valet for Fred. Will Velma be able towrestle with her glasses on?
-
Why does Tatum and Cena look so much alike!?!

That Fruity Pebble Bitch Candy Ass will feel right at home with this material but may struggle with some of the edgier lines in the script.

Say what you will, but the recent crop of DTV Animated Scooby movies have been pretty great...
by Somerichs
Impressive animation, and stories that are better than you'd expect. I'm obviously not talking about academy award winners or anything, but well beyond what I usually associate with animated DTV offerings. My kids love em. I suspect they earn Warners a veritable boatload of money, too. Typically they go to PPV for a while and then eventually on to the Cartoon Network...
-
Oh yeah, and: Fuck HOSTEL!
-
might be cool though, remember when the Harlem Globetrotters, 3 stooges, adam's family, and my personal favorite Batman and Robin appeared with Scoobey and the gang? I went through a wrestling phase but I can't stand to watch more than a second of it now. I can believe Triple H and Kane are still around. I was sick of Triple H ten years ago, his sledgehammer also seemed stupid to me, like it would kill a guy. I do love Motorhead and would like to see HHH do another movie like Blade. I am more interested in the wrestlers real lives, with the difficult work load, body pain, and drug addictions ect. I respect the game and think the movie will be some silly fun but I can't watch wrestling if you paid me. I would like to see some older wrestlers show up with the Mystery Machine like Coco Be Ware, Iron Sheik, Brother Love. RIP Macho Man, Eddie Guerrero, Miss Elizabeth ect ect ect. They ever make a docu on these guys? Love The Wrestler movie too
-
... ... I'm the only one who had that instantly pop into his head? Really?
-
the bear will be a big fat hairy man who loves the cock!

where Archie and the gang help Pop Tate open his new McDonald's franchise while trying to solve the mystery of who stole Mr Lodge's new Bentley and Veronica's Swarovski necklace. And to top it all off, at the same time, the town's NBC affiliate's newest intern, Betty, is putting together a charity event with the stars of the network's new Fall lineup.

Right around the time it was becoming WWE, Kane was being called a necrophiliac by Triple H, and Mae Young was showing off her puppies.

by StanGrossman

-
He gets a big crowd reaction (one way or another), sells a ridiculous amount of merchandise for the company and he's a big ticket draw. You're right, they shouldn't put this guy any where near a camera.
-
...but if they made a full length, theatrical animated film, I'd take my kids twice. LOVE Scooby. Can't stand these fucking movies.

right around the time the gang joined forces with Batman, could be wrong though

I know this concept sounds ridiculous but clearly none of you know your Scooby history. There are a lot of Scooby tv movies from the 60s/70s that had the gang team up with pop culture icons/characters. The Harlem Globetrotters, Batman & Robin, Abbott & Costello, to name a few. I'm not saying it's gonna be good, I'm just saying its been happening for a while. But Scooby hasn't been good in a while either

WTF is up with the pop-culture longevity of Scooby-Doo?
by Nasty In The Pasty
I mean, I understand why people watched the original show in 1969, when there were, like, three channels and every TV cartoon series was absolute garbage, but what kid today would choose to sit down and watch Scooby-Doo instead of, say, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Justice League, Kim Possible, ect.? Why has Scooby become a "perrenial" with a new TV series/movie released pretty much every year? The characters are bland, the animation sucks, and even the "meta" jokes about Scooby and Shaggy being stoners, Fred plowing Daphne off-screen, Velva being a lesbian, ect., stopped being even remotely amusing circa 1988. Seriously, I honestly don't get it, just I like I don't get why they were still making episodes of TMNT for a full DECADE despite the Turtles fad peaking around 1990. If you're a parent who lets your kids watch Scooby-Doo in 2012, then you fail at life.
-
And this is dumb. Like the Don Knotts episode dumb.
-
I know my history, and this plot is more confusing than whatever reason brought them together with Mel Tillis. Everytime I heard Tillis start playing "Pretty Mary Sunshine" or whatever the hell, I wanted to bury myself alive.

The bear will turn out to Big Show. He has a bear on his t-shirt or whatever. I guess being tall and fat makes you like a bear. Or something. I assume this was brokered by Freddie Prinze Jr, who plays Fred in the lackluster film series.

Scooby & WWE - seems like a match made in heaven. Lowest common denominator, cheesy entertainment produced for children.
by atlatl
-
...they have a scene with Shag and Scoob sitting at a table with the WWE gang eating peanut butter and liverwurst sandwiches topped with hot fudge and pickles. Also, I'd watch this 100 times in a row before watching a single frame of Anal Games or The Twilight Faga.
-
This, or that weird Fantastic Four book coming out with Medusa, She Hulk, Ant Man and that teenage girl wearing a Thing suit.
-
Yep, you know he'll be able to rope in his wife as Dapne... This probably won't be as bad as it sounds if they keep the "gang" out of the ring... If they end up actually having Scooby and co at Mania (or actors playing the roles)...well let's just say it will not be good... They can have some fun interactions in the cartoon tho, Velma crushing on Cena... Santino crushing on her and doing his "detective" thing from the other week to try and impress her... Ryder and Shaggy hanging out and Scooby chasing his tail... Oh the hilarity...
-
The rant about an animated TV show is kinda weird but when you use Kim Possible as a Paramount modern animated show then we know you are either insane or a 6 year old girl hooked on Disney. Scooby will be long remembered after the Last Ass Bender and Kim Possible fade into obscurity. Sure the animation is dated like ANY TV animated show that is 40 years old and the jokes are lame but for some reason kids still like the show. Sorry it upsets you so much. SCOOBY DOOBY DOOOOO!!!!!

If the New Scooby Mysteries were on today, the guest star list would probably read like:
by MCVamp
The Kardashians Lebron James Miley Cyrus Peyton and Eli Manning James Franco (I would pay money for that one.) Gordon Ramsey Katy Perry Larry the Cable Guy Harry Knowles (he wishes!)
-
That would be a good take on it.
-
I'm shocked that it never happened. Never too late. Somebody call Gene, there's money to be made.
-
I could actually get behind that if I can't get a James Franco Scooby Doo movie

Somebody spikes the scooby snacks with steroids and roid rage scooby saves the day

Totally stoked for this!!! Must have Mysterio though.
by where_are_quints_hobbit_set_reports
Kids love Mysterio!!! Why wouldn't he be in it? Also check out a mysterious bear, from back when wrestlers fought bears in the ring!! http://youtu.be/cjnuVFmiDfM I think some of the more cartoonish heels like Alberto Del Rio, David Otunga and the wonderful Damien Sandow would be ideal for this. and ZACK RYDER! He totally would fit into the scooby doo universe; he's like how a gang member would dress in their world. I just wrote a big article about junkyard dog, the 80s wrestler... he was in a WWF cartoon back in the day. Plus we need cartoonified Daniel Bryan at least making a cameo to angrily shout NO NO NO NO NO! and then unexpectedly end up face-to-face with a goat.

adeceasedfan, technically Kiss DID appear on a Scooby Doo episode
by 3D-Man
It was a special Halloween episode from 2005 or thereabouts. Clips are on YouTube. I don't count it as a team-up though, because Kiss is barely in it (i.e. they don't help solve the case or anything) and if memory serves only Paul Stanley does a short voice bit.

Loved the original cartoon...but not the "guest starring" ones...
by Darth Macchio
Even with comic stalwarts like Don Knotts and the ubiquitous Tim Conway, the "guest starring" epis of Scoob always sucked. Even as a little kid I knew this...same for Scrappy-Doo. Only the old-school originals with the haunted mansion and bat screech openings were the *real* Scooby-Doo. No scrappy, no Harlem Globetrotters, Tim Conway guest starring nonsense...none of that gimmicky bullshit...just Scoob and the gang and old man Whithers.
-
I LOVED the "guest starring" ones! I agree that the quality was never as good as the "regular" episodes, but I just loved the idea that Scooby Doo and Batman could somehow exist in the same universe.
-
It's probably the best series since the original seasons and is more geared towards adults who grew up with Scooby. It's surprisingly dark for a kid's show. I don't remember seeing dead bodies in the other series. It still has its dumb moments (they're probably required to do that so they can get away with the heavier subject matter), but it is pretty fascinating and I love the idea of a larger mystery that the individual episodes build toward.

3d-man - existing together? Of course..in same show? Not so much..
by Darth Macchio
It was the result, not the concept. Although, admittedly, the results made me not like the concept but, in my mind, all of these elements may very well exist in the same "universe" (bad example would be the movie-version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and a good example would be Neverending Story, etc)... I just loved the original Scooby Doo and Mystery Inc. show and always rolled my eyes at Scrappy ot the guest-starring ones. I don't recall Batman & Robin tho - did they guest spot? I seem to recall Sonny Bono of all people - of course Knotts and Conway (Conway was practically the 6th member of the gang, 7th if you count Scrappy). And by the way, Linda Cardelini is crazy hot & beautiful - she looked stunning all mousey-nerded up for Velma in the first 2. She's the only reason I can tolerate watching those movies actually...well, Sarah Michelle Gellar helps as well (they also seem to both be very down to earth and kewl people - I could be wrong by why mess with the fantasy yo? we know the reality...don't mess with the fantasy!)
-
With the Scooby Gang?
-
Aug. 16, 2012, 4:15 p.m. CST
macchio, you are absolutely right about Linda Cardellini
by SergeantStedenko
That said, Gellar and her husband do not work for me as Daphne and Fred.
-
Those movies are actually weird - they suck horribly for the most part but the character work is actually pretty decent with a few exceptions. Primarily being Gellar and Prinze of course (neither are at all like Fred or Daphne). I'm a sucker for a pretty girl so Gellar gets a pass (and she's not terrible, just not really playing Daphne as she was in the show outside of the some of the outfits) Nothing really needz to be zaid about Freddy Prinze's Jrz actingz. Loved his pops in 'Chico and the Man' tho! (no, i'm not immortal nor methusala) Grandma's Boy did me in for Linda tho...BB Mountain too...(and yes, Hathaway is lovely when naked but she has nothing on Linda - Anne Hathaway unfortunately looks way too much like that Jason Biggs guy from the America Pie movies...just with bigger eyes) But I felt that Shaggy (guy from SLC Punk!) and Scooby (not sure of the voice actor) actually came out ok when they weren't doing dance numbers or something similar...
