Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Jinder is going to get a main event push after being a jobber to the stars for years. Hmm, I wonder what changed Vince's mind?
He is working hard and got better, so I don't dislike him. But it's so obvious he's on something now.

Definitely, soon as he's wellness tested = 30 days suspension.

"We're through the looking glass, people."
Well, it wouldn't be the first time a Italian announcer who wears glasses made him his bitch.

Mauro made a call to Don Joey Styles and he's got his crew (Capo Tommy Dreamer, Taz, plus honorary Italians Tommy Rich, JT Smith and Tracy Smothers) to tell JBL to shut his mouth or he's gunna sleep wit da fishes, capiche.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
I miss Tracy Smothers. Threatening to put a mob hit on fans that booed him was one of the funniest wrestling moments ever.
And Axl Rotten's pitch to put Iron Sheik in the FBI thinking it meant Full Blooded Iranians was one of the best ideas that never happened. But he had huge heat with Sabu because of Original Sheik so Heyman couldn't do it.

Sheiky as like Marlon Brando in the Godfather would have been hilarious. The original FBI were the best. JT singing That's Amour and Tracy, Tommy were hilarious too. ECW was actually genuinely funny when they did comedy skits. Compared to WWE recently with their face palm attempts at humour.

Because Heyman is funny. Vince is unintentionally funny with the stories told about him, but his jokes are all stuff 8 year olds would say.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
I have no interest in a authorized Vince movie. But in a perfect world they'd make an honest one with Al Pacino playing crazy Vince.The Hollywood Reporter is reporting TriStar Pictures is moving forward on a biopic about WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.
The studio is in negotiations for Pandemonium, which would be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, with a script by Craig A. Williams and Andrew Lazar, Adam Goldworm and WWE Studios President Michael Luisi as producers.
Pandemonium was first introduced to Hollywood last summer but studios passed, but now the project is moving forward with McMahon’s blessing. Producer Lazar secured the life rights to McMahon, which got studios fighting to make offers in recent weeks.
According to sources speaking to THR, TriStar went all ou, including decorating their offices in WWE memorabilia for the film pitch.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
This could be great or reminiscent of the cruddy Jesse biopic. Choosing the right actor for Vince is super important and if it's a warts and all portrayal I assume the steroid trial et al will be covered. But I think theyll sugarcoat a lot of things. Also I wonder who they'll get to play Andre, Hogan, Macho, Warrior, Piper et al since the Rock n Wrestling and late 80s WWF are a huge part of his story. Especially the success of WrestleMania I.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
It wouldn't be warts and all. It will be wrestling was a small "smoke filled room" redneck show until 1982, Ted Turner was evil, the federal government was trying to crucify him, he single handedly came up with the Attitude Era, Stephanie is a genius, Donald Trump is his best friend, he always had a perfect marriage, Chris Benoit and Owen Hart never existed fluff piece. Kind of like the McMahon DVD.

Saying Hogan has a small penis and Bob Backlund is a geek. Did Iron Sheik write this?

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Vince fucks a horny MILF with his 14 inch penis.The movie starts in 1969 before McMahon got in the wrestling business. He was a door-to-door salesman.
That's what won Vince over.– Ted Turner is portrayed as the main bad guy. Keep in mind that Turner had bigger fish to fry and didn’t really have a vendetta with McMahon in real life.
Vince always said they met at church.– Vince meets Linda McMahon in a strip club where she was working as a waitress. In reality, she was working as a receptionist at a law firm.
Did the writer not see Rocky III?– Vince feels that Hulk Hogan needs to get bigger so he introduces him to Dr. George Zaharian so he can get on steroids. There is also a Hulk Hogan sex scene.
Vince wouldn't let his father be made to look like a loser since he's always put over the 1970s.– The movie portrays the early WWWF years as a very old time wrestling company that had trouble selling tickets (not true). Vince Jr. would urge his father to take the entertainment route because people don’t care about wrestling as a sport.
lol @ Vince knowing who Led Zeppelin was in 1977. He didn't even know who AC/DC were until 2000.– Vince went to a Led Zepplin concert and that is when he realized that wrestling needed to be like that (with the lighting, music, etc).
It was more than that.– Vince eventually buys out his fathers company for one million dollars.
Very Ventura Movie-like.– The script has Vince Sr. passing away in 1994 during the steroid trial. In real life, he passed away in 1984.
Shane graduated from college years before then. He was working for Vince in 1993.– Shane and Stephanie are bullied in school because of what their father is going through with the legal trial so they end up beating up the bullies.
Holy shit. "Hey pal. You're good at pouring concrete, but can you wrestle?"– Vince found the Junkyard Dog while he was a construction worker.
That's Mike Tyson's story with Teddy Atlas.– Roddy Piper was in jail when Vince found him.
What the fuck?– Jimmy Snuka was doing porn when Vince found him.
I'd pay to seen Andre The Chef Giant.– Andre The Giant was the owner of a French restaurant. Vince then brings him into the wrestling business. The funny thing is that Andre was in the business long before stepping foot in the WWWF.
Vince: "Good. That makes one of us."– Vince and Randy Savage talk about how young women love Savage. Savage tells Vince that he would never think of touching his daughter.
They just did that to troll Russo.– The movie completely skips over the Attitude era.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
"Terry, here's how you rake a guy's back."Vince personally trains Hulk Hogan to wrestle.
Yes, a working class man with 2 mansions and a NYC penthouse.Vince on the stand talking about how “the government shouldn’t be in the business of his and other blue collar people.”
"Mae, I'm flattered. But I'm faithful to Linda."Vince turns down a sexual offer from a female wrestler in front of Linda. He and Linda later have sex in MSG.

Having to hear the commentators and wrestlers say "Great Balls Of Fire" for a month is going to be horrible.

Re: WWE Thread (Spoilers)
Worse is how they're age conscious then do some shit like naming a PPV after a 1950s song or Kevin Dunn demanding "Big Time" be used as a Wrestlemania theme for no reason. Meanwhile they pull Jerry Lawler from Smackdown because he's 60 so fucking David Otunga can have a job. Like the NFL and NBA don't have older players on commentary. Imagine "Sorry, Cris Collinsworth. You're 60, we've got to put that nobody who was on the Cowboys for a minute in the booth because he's 30 and married Jessica Simpson."Having to hear the commentators and wrestlers say "Great Balls Of Fire" for a month is going to be horrible.
