Re: Gran Metallik:

WWE: "Despite record earnings, it's necessary that we make these releases as cost-saving measures."

Gran Metallik: "I'd like my release."

WWE: "Bahahahaha, fuck that noise, esse."

[Yo-Yo's Roomie]

I like that Lince Dorado is apparently able to Jedi mind trick Vince into whatever.

"You're going to put me in a stable with Metalik and Kalisto."
"I'm going to put you in a stable with Metalik and Kalisto"

"I'd like out of this stable, boss."
"No fucking way, pal, whoever you are."
"You're going to let Kalisto out of this stable."
"I'm going to let Kalisto out of this stable."

Reportedly Vince McMahon is encouraging WWE NXT 2.0 towards edgier and newer content. Possible changes include altering in-ring styles towards more aggression, harsher language utilised in promos, more leniency for female attire, keeping up with current events and trends and topics.

Oh no, after AEW the last few weeks, I’m all done hearing cursing in my wrestling.  Dynamite was a “piece of sh*t” fest last week.

Apparently Jeff Katz did an AMA and talked about how he was going to cast a wrestler to be Samuel L Jackson's sidekick in Snakes on a Plane, but one of the producers stopped it.

Spoiler

It was Triple H.

I'm assuming it would have been the Fed that Bobby Cannavale played, the above could have pulled that off. I'm surprised a producer nixed that since the WWE would promote the hell out of a movie one of their "Superstars" were in, remember how hard they promoted that Highlander flick.

your quoted was the wrestler to be cast, or the producer who stopped it?

[Doragon]

The WWE Japan website is shutting down this week as of Friday, September 24. They will continue to serve content via the WWE Japan social media accounts. The contact point for WWE inquiries in Japanese will also cease.

Any future expansion in Japan or other countries will either be under the new WWE International division or under local NXT brands. I can't see them setting up more NXT Brands until what's left of the Covid era is done away with. If they do open up NXT Japan someday, it will be tailor-made for the Japanese market like NXT UK is for the UK.

WWE Japan was founded in 2008, before the Global NXT brands idea.

Wrestler in the cast. WWE was not involved in making the movie at all.

thanks for clearing that up. i read it as they wanted to cast a wrestler, but WWE's Producer put the nix on it.  and the person mentioned left it *just* ambiguous enough.

I'd rather see HHH in a remake of SOAP.

HHH vs Benson

[Cobra Commander]

HHH's promo on Benson leading to him going over Benson anyways was some bad booking

[piranesi]

SOAP gave us Billy Crystal so it's problematic as a developmental show too.

In what world is Bobby Cannavale the backup plan in case you can't get HHH for your movie?

[(BP)]

Actually I heard Hunter originally had Cannavale’s role in The Station Agent when Jenny McCarthy and Verne Troyer were attached to costar.

LOL holy shit.  Rebranding WWE Films as a bizarro mockbuster studio where they do thier own versions of arthouse films would be amazing.

When I was a teenager I thought My Dinner with Andre was about Wallace Shawn meeting Andre the Giant for dinner. 

I was really bummed out when I finally saw it.

Maybe you were confusing it with that Freddie Blassie thing? Didn't somebody have a dinner with him as well, in some other movie, or something? I mean you obviously wouldn't confuse Andre with Blassie, but if you knew about one, then why couldn't there be two movies like that? Of course, whatever that Blassie thing was it may have come out decades later, so it's a moot point. So yeah, I guess nevermind, then.
