(BP) Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So WWE Films only uses guys you wouldn't notice were gone from TV now? Also, that synopsis leads me to believe this was originally supposed to be another Twelve Rounds with Orton, but he didn't feel like doing it.

We all concluded "Fuck Drake." Bullshit he was playing a junior high student on Degrassi in '01... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I would totally cast Bo Dallas as his paramedic buddy, but of course they're gonna have him as generic biker number 4. So does Maryse play his gf/wife in the movie or a random truck stop waitress of some sort cause wasn't Summer Rae's big part in Marine 4 like three minutes of screen time?

hammerva Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Everyone in that I can see doing a cheesy movie except Curtis Axel. His acting skills is going to be interesting. Funny the idea of a Marine 5 since you can't even get Marine 1 or 2 to show on cable channels? I doubt Marine 3 or 4 even maybe STARZ or EPIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I know at least Marine 2 aired on either Starz,Encore or FX. Cause my father watched it. Seems most of the WWE Films end up airing on FX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I've watched 12 Rounds on HBO before. I've also seen that Triple H movie Inside Out on the Showtime channel that plays b action flicks. Inside Out was not a bad film but it also had a stellar cast around Triple H with Michael Rappaport, Parker Posey and Bruce Dern. Edit: I've seen one of the Miz Marines on IFC before which made me sad cuz I remember when IFC didn't have commercials and played obscure truly independent films. I say Fresh for the first time at 13, stumbling upon it on IFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Any speculation on this #Hatch business from the WWE twitter account? They're already advertising Cena's return this Memorial Day along with the Wyatts, so hopefully it's not just related to them (or additional WWE Film nonsense). Spoiler tag used just to condense the three tweets I know of so far: Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Seeing Curtis Axel get a movie roll makes me wish his dad had acted too. Maybe in Showdown in Little Tokyo since that would've lined up with when he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Terrible. Why is he humble underdog seeking respect again. Rollins ain't Lesnar. The Big Dog should've been, "Do I respect Seth Rollins? The guy who betrayed the brotherhood of The Shield, hit me in the back with a steel chair, put Ambrose's head through a cinder block, took a shortcut to the top by hooking up with The Authority, stole my WrestleMania moment from me when he inserted himself into my WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, kept the championship for almost 300 days by having The Authority protect him, and when they finally got sick of him and he had to stand on his own, his leg gave out cause it couldn't support his ego. Nah, I don't respect Seth Rollins. But he clearly respects me cause all he can do is jump me from behind. And I don't respect you either, Cole, asking such a stupid question. Where's baby girl at?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Does anyone have any info on wrestling's popularity in Chile? I was watching some matches off the recent MysterioMania tour on Youtube and it looked like they drew well and the crowds were super hot, especially for Pentagon Jr. It looks like there are a number of indy promotions running there as well.

I was watching some matches off the recent MysterioMania tour on Youtube and it looked like they drew well and the crowds were super hot, especially for Pentagon Jr. It looks like there are a number of indy promotions running there as well. There seems to have been a solid history of it there from the 30's/40's onwards - as with most of South America - waxing and waning in popularity. Like everywhere else, when Titanes en el Ring started showing locally that became the fashionable style and when that died wrestling on the continent mostly bottomed out. People tried copying that format but it never recaptured the public's imagination. They get WWE on tv like many places and that became the main influence for indy companies from the 90's onwards. I'd guess what popularity there is now is people watching WWE on telly, and the indy companies themselves steadily growing their crowds and improving in quality. Access to the internet seems to have broadened horizons a bit and the scene is as much influenced by Mexico and Japan as the USA now. So, eh, I couldn't really say how popular it is nationally, but it's definitely growing, and the fans are passionate about it. There's loads of google translate mangled info to be had online. I wish Momo still posted here. In short - boom and bust, currently on a decade or so long slow upward swing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
