Bill Goldberg up for the role of THE INCREDIBLE HULK'
Hey folks, Thirsty.Com has reported that Bill Goldberg has announced on UK radio that he is the lead contender for the title role in THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Now, what does this mean? I know that for years now, the rumor was that ILM would be creating a complete CGI HULK... have these plans been abandoned.... will Goldberg merely be the guy in the Motion Control suit like Ahmed Best as JarJar? From the shoulders up.. I might be able to buy him... but when you see pictures that reveal from the chest below... he just doesn't have the sheer enormity required for the HULK... that's my opinion anyways... Here's what Thirsty.Com had to say...
WCW superstar Bill Goldberg recently appeared on an UK radio show. During the show, Goldberg spoke about WCW, Vince Russo, and his current role in the company. He also spoke about his acting career and how he is hoping it will take off and he will get to do some good movies. He also stated that as of right now, he is the lead canidate for the main role in the upcoming film The Incredible Hulk.

Sadly I am hoping for an entirely CG Hulk. What's the deal with all of these wrestlers getting movie gigs? Judging by his SNL performance, I guess Goldberg is a better actor that the Rock. Stop the insanity!
-
If this was a TV movie, maybe he would be a good choice, but since its a movie, stick with the CGI. On the plus side, Goldberg would be our first Jewish Hulk, now isn't that just politically correct.
-
whatever...Goldberg being the hulk makes absolutely no sense...there is no actual human that can portray the Hulk..Ferrigno did ok, but if you read the comic..the Hulk is massive, even Big Lou was small for him..go with the CGI..P.S I fucking hate wrestling
-
.....f'n HATE Goldturd!!! Nash and Triple H are better! Keep the Incredible Hulk CG!! Nuff said!!!!
-
Could Goldberg be up "a" leading role, not "the" leading role? If Crusher Creel the Absorbing Man is in the movie, Goldberg looks more like Creel than Ferrigno. Put a ball and chain in his hand and some prison grays on him....
Hang in there and take care! -
and all the overweight white trash who watch this male soap opera need to tune into something with a little more brain
-
Totally right dude, he looks exactly like the absorbing man. Now all we need is a Titania. Hmmm.....
-
LOL split-finger!!
-
as much as i'd like to see Goldberg have a good role to fill, the Hulk ain't it. I remember talking to him at the time he had finished wrapping on Universal Soldier 2, and he said, as much as he was thankful to have the opportunity to be in the movie, quite frankly it was shit. so at least he has enough sense to now go for something written for him that has a some quality to it. i give him that... but the Hulk? i don't think anyone has that physique to pull it off realistically.
-
Pleasepleaseplease don't let Goldberg in this project! A CG Hulk would be much better, and I fucking hate Goldberg anyway. Kurt Angle, now that's somebody who deserves a movie. He's an Olympic Hero! It's true, it's true!
-
first let me say again that any human portraying the Hulk would be a bad idea..they should go with the CGI because no human is that large...
-
1. Wrestling is in on the joke of how campy and horrible it was in the 80's. I used to think the same thing about the stereotypes and such from back in the day, but about a few months ago I started watching and it's a hoot. It's more inspirational, humorous, and entertaining than comic books are now adays. (oohch fanboys).
2. The Rock is a good actor. The guy is such a cartoon and he realizes that what he's doing isn't that important, so he just goes with it.
-
oh Im sure wrestling is all fun and inspirational but it is fake..simple as that..I will admit they are very talented athletes and actors but it's fake, it's an oiled up Days of Our Lives
-
The technology doesn't exist yet to put a realistic-looking Hulk in a live action film. It would be way too jarring and destroy any suspension of disbelief. Even the Final Fantasy movie hasn't yet created photorealistic humans, but it's OK because that movie is ENTIRELY computer generated. No, you need a human being here, and Goldberg's as good as any other muscle man. Vote Nader. Peace.
-
I can see what you are saying but do you think even Goldberg is big enough to portray the hulk..I'll admit I liked Ferrigno in the TV show but in modern times, no one exists I dont think that is actually big enough to portray the Hulk..I guess we'll have to see what they do...
-
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL. I REALLY LIKE GOLDBURG AND HE IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR. I THINK HE WILL REALLY BE A GOOD INCREDIBLE HULK.
-
thanks rabid kimba..I do my best to make the world a better place....
-
CGI would work because the Hulk is essentially a big monster, not a human. And monsters can be done beautifully in CGI, as seen in "Jurassic Park", or, to scale the sizes down more appropriately, the re-make of "Mighty Joe Young". Wrestlers should never be allowed in any movies. "X-Men" gets a stay of execution because Sabertooth was only playing a strongman-type henchman, and maybe had a grand total of four lines.

Goldberg? I would love to see some Jewish actors in Hollywood..
by herbert kornfeld
Whoa, am I going to get flamed...
-
I think there might be an idea that a lot of posters here might not have considered. The Hulk doesn't need to be either CGI or (Baby Jesus, no!)Goldberg. It could quite possibly be some mixture of both. That way, you have a human being acting the part that has been enhanced with CG so it looks much more real while being true to the Hulk's physique.
PS: I am so sick and tired of all the wrestling fanboy sub-morons who want to see (insert name of wrestler here) play (insert name of superhero here) in the next comic book flick. A wrestler playing the Hulk is acceptable because the Hulk's vocabulary is only a little more extensive than a wrestler's. But knock off this "I think the Rock should play Superman" horseshit, will you? Let actors do their jobs and keep the wrestlers in the pigpens and trailer parks where they belong. -
The monsters in Jurrassic Park were all of a piece: (1) All the dinosaur species looked pretty much alike (could YOU tell the difference between two different raptors or two T-Rex's?) (2) They only needed to MOVE realistically, they didn't actually need to ACT. Notice how they never actually touched an actor; by the time the T-Rex kicked a car or ate a human, the car or human were rendered by computer. (3) Despite the fact that another actor will play Banner, the Hulk will need to emote at least a little: act surprised, angry, confused. There will probably be a scene of some tenderness between the Hulk and Betty. And CGI technology just isn't yet at the level required to make a CGI person emote that well in a real-life environment. Hence, no suspension of disbelief, which is essential for a comic-book flick. If this movie was made in about 5 years, you'd probably be right, but at today's level, no. Vote Nader. Peace.
-
I would say most often wrestling fans peg their fave wrestlers for certain roles because.. well, as cartoonishly, over-the-top as wrestling is, it may translate into a cartoony, over-the-top comic book adaptation. I must say Hugh Jackman did a great job at playing Wolverine, but I thought Chris Benoit's physique could have gotten him the role (even though he has bad mic skills, he looks like Sam Keith's version of Logan). Look at Luke Cage. Ron Simmons,aka Farooq, looks more like Luke Cage than a Samuel L Jackson does (but so does Carl Weathers).. unfortunately, that how these things get started... people say, 'Hey so and so, looks like such and such," no matter if they can act or not. Wrestling is acting.. plain and simple. Physical, character acting. They should have the same chance at roles as other actors do. And Piper wasn't that bad in 'They Live' know was he?
-
please Devil's Halo, tell me that last line of yours was sarcasm. PLLLEAAASSSEEE...the best wrestler in a movie was Andre the Giant in Princess Bride...need we pull out Suburban Commando or whatever the hell that movie was called with Hulk Hogan...the only good thing about wrestling was that one chick being in Playboy..and I hope to god that heshe Chyna doesnt take it off anytime soon

to stop all the fuss sciyth must once again tell you all how it
by sciyth
First off let me say that i am a rasslin fan second let me say that there is no one on this earth that does not know rasslin is fake....to a degree, of course the matches are scripted and the out comes are predetermend but how can you fake falling nearly 30 feet off a steel cage onto a concreate floor with 1 inch a padding on it? or how can you fake being slammed in the head with a chair? and do you really know what gets me about all these people who hate it? i bet they would love boxing or ultimate fighting where people end up like muhammed ali at the end of there carrer...yeah thats a really evolved way of thinking huh? and i know where all you anti rasslin fan people hang out to, how would you like it if i insulted you for what you like huh? hmmm let me give it a try..."DAMN I HATE COFFE HOUSES!! ALL FILLED WITH PRETENTIOUS CONDESCENDING WANNA BE HIP LATTE SIPPING KHAKI WEARING NON ATHLETIC BEAT NICKS!!!...wow, how theraputic was that!!huh? you didnt like it? well then i didnt mean to hurt your fellings...look insult rasslin, no problem, insult the fans, and you are doing nothing but making a broad generalization about a group of people based only on one piece of information.....but then again i guees thats how the "civilized" world does things right? oh well, im commmming down off of what ever was in that green bottle so ill leave you with these to things one,check out beyond the mat and that will show you how fake rasslin is and second with this little nugget "THE ONLY THING MORE IDIOTIC THAN A RASSLIN FAN ARE THOSE WHO THING WE THINK ITS REAL".....and i would also like to apologize for the complete lack of spelling punctuation and capitalization...i tend to forget those things when i rant(its the truest form of the rant if you ask me)well...im off like a prom dress!!!
-
Hm...
A human isn't big enough to play the Hulk...
A CGI Hulk wouldn't be realistic enough...
Well... just combine the best of both... use an actor... use CGI to make him green and beef him up a little (or a lot)...
Hm?
-
huh?....oh,uh...i guess it could only be done in cgi..gee,....hmmmm,thats a dumb one to even have a long post about......wow......such a simple answer....hmm

by vondoom
His tone was 100% perfect through
the whole movie. How about a
special edition of THIS on DVD
with Carpenter on one track,
and Keith David and Rowdy on
the other????? That would
be SO TIGHT!!!!! -
CG seems the right route to go over a real life numbskull wrestler, though it would be funny to see another goofy buff guy painted green running around in those torn shirts and pants. If they were going for the "made-for-TV" look, then I'd understand this casting. What it looks like now, though, is that wrestling is trying to invade all levels of pop-culture. Be afraid, be very afraid.
-
I can see Goldberg as the Hulk. No actually i can't. I'm trying to imaging it, but it just doesn't fit. This won't happen and I don't think they want comic movies to fall right after they just got back on top.
-
Silentbob 3000 said the Hulk is 10-12 ft tall. I never read the comics, but was hooked on the TV show, and I thought that Ferrigno did a pretty good job. Goldberg's not as big as Lou, you say? Well, in the movie "the Green Mile," the characters of John Coffey and Brutus Howell were nowhere near the same height. They had Michael Clarke Duncan looking damn near 8 ft tall and dwarfing David Morse! But guess what? in real life, MCD is 6'5" and DM is 6'4"! It's called special effects. And how much acting really needs to be done, anyway? a whole lot of emoting, crashing stuff, being angry and violent, but never say a word--sounds tailor-made for a pro wrestler to me. I imagine that's why they used a wrestler in the first place!!!
-
Suit mentality says that a muscle man type played the Hulk on T.V., therefore another must play him in the movies. This cheapens it. It's like Schumacher's Batman movies. Tim Burton was not adapting the comics, he was making his own version of Batman, at least. But Schumacher was adapting the television show (while being a huge Dark Knight fan; he loved the color schemes). They're adapting the T.V. show. It'll probably be David Banner, trying to tap into the strengths that all human's possess with that stupid chamber of his instead of a gamma bomb and an
investigative reporter instead of Thunderbolt Ross and Doc Samson on his ass. Wasn't it written by that agency script reader who took a mountain climber's screenplay, put his name on it and got credit for CLIFFHANGER? -
A giant green guy jumping around and smashing things will be fun for about five minutes. I just want to know how they intend to tell the story. Any 'ol wrestler will do for the part of the Hulk.

Tell me that a wrestler couldn't do it with CGI enhancements.
by superninja
Look at the technology developed for Mystique for the X-Men film. These people can do it if they set their minds to it. You could put a wrestler in a bodysuit, then enhance the suit with CGI. I don't think it's difficult. Besides, the Hulk only has the emotional range of a 2 year old, so we don't need to cast DeNiro for the part.

Sorry I let you down with the short post, Rabid Kimba. I'll try
by dave_f
Alright, I'm not even a big Hulk fan, but he's still an icon and if they're gonna do him, they should do him right. Lemme respond to Superninja first. What's the story you inquire? Well, thematically, the Hulk is about human aggression, both its danger and its occasional necessity. It's also about great power landing in the hands of a childlike intelligence. Those concepts provide the potential depth and subtext of the film. The actual story will presumably be concerned initially with origin stuff, then later with the hunt for the Hulk or some adventure he gets involved in. How about this scenario I just whipped up: presuppose that longtime Hulk foe, the Leader, was actually the *first* gamma-spawned freak, victim of an accidental gamma exposure (though nowhere near the dose Banner will later get). Bustin' with gamma-induced intelligence, he fakes his death, and quietly goes into hiding to concoct plans for, you know it, world domination! Gamma technology, the phallic-headed Leader realizes, might be the key to such a takeover. Still, he doesn't want more brainiacs competing with himself, so no duplicating the precise gamma accident that created him! What he wants is an army. He's tested extreme gamma ray doses on lab rats and small animals and created some nifty monstrosities (the Hulk can fight 'em later!), but unfortunately, there's a side-effect of intelligence loss on the already none-to-smart animals. As a result, they're too unstable to become his ass-kicking gamma army. But if humans could be bombarded with such extremes, they'd probably have enough remaining intelligence to be brainwashed into subservience...ah-ha! Sidebar: the Leader won't actually dominate the first half of the film - all this history will be revealed in appropriate flashbacks. So, from behind the scenes the Leader manipulates Banner into the gamma-bomb accident that creates the Hulk. It's a success! Too much of a success, actually. The Hulk is strong as hell, yes, and just intelligent enough to perhaps be manipulated, but he doesn't want to be held by anyone! He escapes Gamma Base. The thrust of the movie will then be the Hulk's flight from both the Army and the Leader. Ultimately, Banner will learn about the Leader's machinations, and along with the help of Betty and cool-cat Rick Jones, he'll track the leader down for the big finish. Not too deep, admittedly, but I'm only mentioning general plot points - details to be fleshed out by a better writer than me. Besides, the Hulk will provide about the most action-packed superhero movie of them all, so the story needn't be *too* detailed. The way I see it, the Hulk's almost like a miniature version of Godzilla, both hated and sympathized with. The destruction and spectacle he leaves in his wake is a draw in and of itself. Throw in some heart-wrenching stuff about Banner realizing he can't live a normal life again, then some lightness when Rick Jones shows up, and some cameos by Doc Samson and the man who'll become the Abomination (sequel potential), and I think you'd have a helluva Summer spectacular. Hmm, maybe even a cameo by Bruce's lawyer cousin, Jennifer Walters (the eventual She-Hulk), one of his few sympathizers. Picture it - he's getting legal advice from her on the phone, finally finding someone he can turn to, when suddenly we see General Ross's Hulbuster squad, high-tech tanks and all, topping the hill a block distant. Violent chaos ensues and Bruce's brief moment of salvation is tragically cut short! Damn, that actually *could* be a cool movie! I wasn't sure when I started this post, but now I am! Anyway, because hyperbolic spectacle is such an important part of a good Hulk story, I think he's got to be just stunning on the big screen, and that's where the CGI comes in. He'll only be onscreen for maybe a fourth of the movie, but when he is, the audience has gotta be blown away! I'm talkin' a Hulk ten feet tall, bristling with the kind of muscles you only see in comics, and like ZeroCorpse said, a wide son of a bitch too. Just as long as the pants stay on, he's not too big. CGI technology is there now! "Phantom Menace" blew, but the humanoid CGI aliens you saw in it actually could emote! Jar Jar, vile though he was, was quite a believable presence. And by the time the Hulk film gets in gear, technology will have advanced two years past "Phantom"! Plus, as has been noted, the Hulk doesn't need to emote thaaaat much. No, it's gotta be CGI all the way, a behemoth to remember! Oh, and just for the record, my Banner candidates include Bill Paxton and "Apollo 13" co-star Gary Senise. Kimba, that enough of a tract for ya!?
-
You guys putting down wrestling do realize that you're commenting on a Talkback for a movie about a guy who turns into a big, green monster, right? Wrestling's fake? Wow! Thanks for the revelation! Guess what? So are movies. That lame argument doesn't hold any water. And if you disagree, just remember that you're wrong and I'm right.
-
Goldborg can't even act a decent wrestling match ! Don't do this....Marvel finally had a hit on their hands with X-Men, it's way too early to start flushing their characters down the crapper with shit like this. Let Goldborg live out his life in the fetid, creatively stifled hell that is Dubbya see Dubbya, laying down for Has-Been Sulk Hokum,and movies like Universal Soldier 17. The Stone Cold Clone has already found his level.......and it's low.....very, very low !
-
So a month or two back, I'm flipping through the latest issue of the revamped "Black Panther" comic. The current writer, who happens to be black, used to write a very funny tongue-in-cheek superhero comic called "Quantum and Woody". Anyway, the Hulk was on the cover, and I wanted to see how the writer was incorporating him into the Black Panther's life. Turns out the Hulk was only around during the opening scene, which had nothing to do with the Black Panther. The story begins with the Hulk rampaging as usual, this time in the middle of a mostly-black neighborhood. He's about to smash a car, when suddenly this black lady walks up and gets in his way, confronting him. In a really amusing scene, she wins the confused Hulk over by launching into hilarious racial rhetoric, equating the prejudice he faces with the plight of urban blacks. He shouldn't be destroying this neighborhood, she explains, because he's in the same boat as its residents. I'm pretty certain she refers to him as "my emerald brother" at least once. The subversive ending to the scene has her convincing Hulk to trash a nearby cop car instead of her own. So much for pure motivation! Anyway, a really funny scene with a bit of edge behind it, a bit of risk. Just thought I'd mention it to point out that good writing and the brutish Hulk aren't necessarily antithetical. A scene like that might even translate nicely to the movie. Anyone got any others to mention? Or longer Hulk stories with elements the film might incorporate?

Wrestling: outcomes=fake....some moves=sorta faked...assorted ch
by xthecrovvx
OK, let me set this straight, before i get into the bullshit that is Goldberg...first, yes, wrestling is scripted, their wrestlers are trained to predict, and play out moves to make them real...its a performance...but, quite frankly, i could care less...i've watched it since i was 4, i still do as much as possible...its the male equivalent of soap operas(besides, anyone who's been watching WWF past few weeks knows that its starting to REALLY become a soap opera with this whole Kurt Angle sitch)....but that does not mean that real hits dont happen....most of the punches do require open fists so they dont hurt, thats fine...but when it comes down to chair shots, finishing moves, most submission moves, and moves from off the top rope...well let's jst say some things just cant be faked....a prime example would be the legendary Hell In A Cell match at the 98 King f the Ring...any Mick Foley fan knows the damage he took during that match, as did the Undertaker...but for the uninformed, Foley was thrown off the top of the cage into an announcer's table, chokeslammed through the top of the cage which was about 20 feet above the ring, which(for the first time in his career) left Mick Foley unconscious, spinebusted onto thumbtacks, rammed into the side of the cage, and Tombstoned to boot.....i wont even go into the rest of the injuries...so, yes, it is scripted for certain people to win...it is a performance...but i repeat...SOME THINGS JUST CANNOT BE FAKED....now...for the meat of this whole thing...WCW bites, Goldberg's goofy steroided ass sucks....and i will protest till my dying day if this asswipe gets to play The Hulk....for the record, though, these days, its gonna be hard finding somebody who would fit the Hulk's proportions well enough for any human being to play him, so a CGI Hulk may not be too bad of an idea...BUT, if they abolutely must get a real human to play him, start looking in the bodybuilding circuits....wrestlers these days aint gonna cut it...cause seeing Goldberg Spear somebody, and call it a Gamma Crush will invariably be painful, and embarassing to watch...Revolution is my name...it's true, it's true!
-
Given the Hulk's size CGI really would be the way to go. However, I don't think CGI would be able to portray any sort of personality. A CGI Hulk would look visually stunning & be the right size, but lack the spontanaity that only a human being could provide. So howz' this sound?
Film Goldberg with some green Make-Up & prothsetics to make him look like a monster. Film him acting enraged & psycotic (sorry people, but he can do that better than ANY computer program). Then use CGI to make him appear 10-12 ft tall. CGI effects can also be used to add to his monsterous appearance and maybe exagerate some of his fearures & movements.
To me, this is using the strengths of live acting AND computer graphics. Kind of the best of both worlds so to speak. Just my opinion but I think it'd work out fine.... What do you think? -
According to Marvel, The Hulk is 7'1" or something like that. They could easily find someone that height, and just latex him up. Hell, just make WWF's Big Show lay off the twinkies. Kirby's Hulk wasn't even that muscular to begin with...he kinda had a gut even. It doesn't even matter, they'll probably let Stephen Sommers direct it, and it won't even be worth seeing.
-
Well, Crow, I see you're hooked too. Yeah it is a male soap opera but I beg to differ as far as what the term fake is being used as. Fake meaning; 1:falsify 2: counterfeit n:copy, fraud, or imposter adj:not genuine
I think we can all agree that these definitions cannot possibly describe what goes on in wrestling. These are stunt people who coordinate their moves and falls in order to TRY to MINIMIZE any damage they might inflict on themselves and their fellow co workers. Some of these scripts that are written out could are actual human drama that does occur in real life. It deals with affairs (Kurt Angle/Stephanie), censorship( Right To Censor) and sibling rivalry (Undertaker/Cain). I have only recently begun to watch WWF since Kid Rock was on a couple of months ago and I have been hooked since then. Some of these ACTORS do have public speaking skills and those are the ones that mostly retain longevity. If they are talented enough they will make the jump to the big screen and people will pay to see their favorite character try their acting chops (BTW, did any catch EDGE in the end game). I agree with Adam Montioba, Angle does deserve a movie. He does play that obnoxious American hero part down to where you may not like him but you still can't stop paying attention to him. Oh, and Adidas, Chyna already took it off and it is scheduled for Novembers issue of Playboy. XXX000XXX

The Hulk's height varies by the artist, Marvel statistics be dam
by dave_f
And the popular tradition these days has him looking between eight and ten feet tall. I still vote for somewhere in that range, just because it'd be more visually impressive. As for Kirby's not-so-muscular interpetation...I wouldn't mind that either as long as the Hulk is big and thick as a mofo. The beer gut's fine by me too. Gotta be CGI though, no two ways about it. Anyone who says CGI creations can't act and emote hasn't seen "Toy Story" or "Phantom Menace" or "Mighty Joe Young". Another nice thing about CGI is that it'd allow for a Hulk with somewhat non-human facial features - give him that ape-like appearance some artists do.
-
First I agree a CGI Hulk would be perfect and the technology is available that a CGI creation can emote. SO let's do that instead. Goldberg could be the absorbing man hired by the Leader to take down the Hulk. ENd of story. As for the comic, have any of you fans read it recently? Paul Jenkins is kicking major ass as the writer, check it out...

I Must Be Bored Because I'm Gonna Comment on the height of somet
by buzz maverik
You see, the Hulk looks so tall and muscular in modern comics because the artists are not able or not willing to draw porportionately. I vote for the former, since most of them now only learned art from comic books. I agree that Alex Ross might not be the greatest thing since soft margarine, but at least he knows porportion. And to get perfectly Harlan Ellison, the way the new guys draw the Hulk, Colossus, Badrock, Thunderbird or Proudstar or Native American Mutant or whatever the fuck they call him now, laws of physics would mean these characters could not move like Kirby's character The Lump in the old Mr. Miracle series.
-
Man, FUCK Wrestling. What a fad we've been caught up in. Only a CGi HULK would be cool. Remember when Johnny Depp was Bruce Banner and HULK was destined to be comic-book huge a destructive CGi monster for Godzilla ta fear?
-
OK, first, to the person who said something along the lines of "just because he's popular, we should allow Goldberg to play Hulk? NO!" nobody said that...i mean, damn, most of the arguments im seeing here are all for the CGI Hulk, and im one of em...however, a few days ago, i was watching Phantom Menace(Episode I haters, dont EVEN get me started...), and the little behind the scenes thingy before that, and watched how they made Ahmed Best into Jar Jar...now, if they were smart, thats the route i'd take with Hulk, and maybe then, Goldberg might work in the part...then all he's gotta do is wreck shit and shut the hell up....but if they MUST go the Lou Ferrigno route with this, then sorry, they gotta go with a bodybuilder.......then again, why the hell am i commenting on a HULK flick anyways? Get to work on my X-Men sequel, damn you!! Next, though...the issue of wrestlers in movies/TV....we've seen this concept work(Roddy Piper in They Live, Stone Cold Steve Austin on Nash Bridges, The Rock on SNL, and doing a kick ass job, The Undertaker on The Outer Limits, Chyna on 3rd Rock) and we've seen it fail miserably(pretty much every Hulk Hogan flick with the exception of No Holds Barred, and thats only cause of Zeus,Triple H on Grownups, but that ones not his fault, Goldberg in Universal Soldier 2)....quite frankly, it all depends...so far, what ive seen is that the wrestlers with the best mike skills seem to go the farthest...im personally waiting to see how Rock does in The Mummy 2 next year...so, automatically lumping all wrestler's movies or appearances into the brainless category is a bit wrong...especially when you consider most of these guys go out and have to ad-lib stuff every night....Revolution is my name....P.S.--WCW still sucks like hell...
-
Don't make a movie! make another tv pilot!
get some no-body with a dodgy perm to play Banner! any lardy wrestler with the enthusiasm that ferrigno had to play jade jaws! ruin my childhood memories, you evil bastards1
