Log Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Nash may not have been in a F&F movie, but he was in Magic Mike which was HUGE. And he played Tim's dad on Detroiters which was huge for me but probably not for many other people. Edited February 24, 2022 by Log 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Nash was also Super Shredder. Nash playing a washed stripper and Super Shredder > Reigns being the third-most popular pro wrestler in an F&F movie. Reigns is going to need Jason Momoa to retire because Hollywood's the type of place that only has room for one gentleman of Samoan descent with long hair at a time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Good for Claudio Castagnoli standing up for himself and being willing to walk away. The man has literally given nothing but the best years of his life and career to WWE, was always the company man, busted his ass, and given bullshit Vince McMahon "not grabbing the brass ring" nonsense. Literally squandered all of his momentum after WrestleMania 30. Shameful. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long after his wrestling career. To the point where if I bring him up to people outside of the business, they have no idea the Magic Mike guy was ever a wrestler. He *was* in a Ninja Turtle movie. But under a mask and not really publicized to any degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 40 minutes ago, NoFistsJustFlips said: I think that's a bit off the mark. Reigns is "the man" in the most profitable era in WWE history. And was also in a Fast & Furious movie with The Rock. Nash was "the man" during the lowest money drawing era in the history of WWE. He was not in a Fast & Furious movie with The Rock. While Nash was part of the nWo during the hottest period of the business, he was never really a pop culture guy at all. What media presence did Nash have? Regis & Kathy, just like every other WWE champion? I think Reigns has surpassed that. He does a lot of media and make a wish stuff. Definitely not Cena / Austin / Hogan / Rock pop culture level. But definitely bigger in pop culture than Bret Hart / Shawn Michaels / Kevin Nash. Those are big deals in the wrestling bubble. But hardly any pop culture presence at all. Er, have you seen that F&F spin-off? It actually gets almost comical watching just how hard the film works to keep him from having to deliver any sort of dialogue. He mainly nods and fights. Whoever directed it CLEARLY did not trust Reigns to do any sort of work. 34 minutes ago, Blue Dragon said: Double C is going to need someone to talk for him in AEW. Mic skills is his weak spot. AEW has worked around it with champs of varying levels of "talk": Penta, Fenix, Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy all range from non-English speaking to just growling to passable on the mic and all have held gold. Heck, Jade Cargill is a champ and basically says nothing but "That bitch" and is doing fine. Cesaro will probably sound just fine when he's not being undercut by weirdly-worded WWE promos or just being made to look foolish. There was that period where Cesaro was show in a suit and looked so cool that I thought they were going to go the Jason Statham route of cool, bald guy in a suit who beats people up and they brought him back right at the World Title level then lost interested and instead seemed to veer into James Bond who's not allowed to talk territory. Then there was the period where they thought the best thing they could do was have him lisp. I honestly always felt like WWE viewed him as a guy who could make everyone look good, except himself and like there was antipathy for him wearing a mouthguard. The last part might be me inferring something that wasn't there, but honestly after he started wearing the mouthguard I noticed WWE announcers bringing it p a lot and his push seemed to vanish. And I could TOTALLY see Vince being the type of guy who does not like to see wrestlers wearing mouthguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
