Could the WWE film a "Ready to Rumble" type of movie?

What? WWE make another Ready to Rumble and ruin their award winning movie company? hahahaha ok just kidding.

I think Ready to Rumble is enjoyable to watch. Dosnt take itself too serious.

Well WWE could make a movie like that. Maybe make it where a couple fan (maybe one based off of sign guy) are tired of what WWE has become. So they go on the search to get some of the old school people back like Stone Cold and HBK and Edge among others to bring back some attitude back into the product. Could have Shawn trying to get HHH out of the monkey suit and go back to the DX style HHH. Which they over throw Vince and throw out the PG Era and it would be the way Vince Finally can retire and the way all the Attitude Era People will be happy plus with it focusing on people like Stone, HBK, Edge, Trish, Lita among others it wouldnt be pulling many people off the road besides the short cameos that could be filmed on days off or at arenas that they are already at.

This is such a bad idea.

Here is all you need to know about Ready To Rumble

Budget $24,000,000
Box office $12,452,362 (worldwide)

It lost over $11 Million dollars. WWE is in the business of making money.

Wrestling Movies don't make money.

Why would I go watch a fake movie about a fake sport?

Would you go watch a movie on how the Harleem Globetrotters overcame diversity to beat the Washington Generals?

I think if WWE makes a movie, it should star one of their lowercarders. IT wouldn't hurt the product if someone like Johnny Curtis disappeared because he's barely on TV or house shows anyway, and it would basically give them a platform to get over.

Why don't you tell that to WWE's Film Division? They are in DIRE need of hearing that. But, most of the writers just join the company because they see it as a stepping stone to Hollywood, so that division will never go.

Besides, if the WWE Films division folded, how will Wal-Mart fill their $5 DVD bin?

First about a quarter of the WWE films make money. But the WWE also keeps the cost controlled with small casts and they're more in the home to DVD Market.

But the WWE's plan is based off of getting one huge hit. Like Die Hard or Speed where they'll make a ton of cash and ride it to the ground. Plus its also an incentive for the Talent.
