Pro Wrestling: The Movie

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

This is probably a dumb thread, but I'm watching "Safety Not Guaranteed" and the main female protagonist Aubrey Plaza (Scott Pilgrim, Parks & Rec) reminds me a lot of WWE Diva AJ Lee.

So if they were to make a movie about professional wrestlers, who would YOU cast? Any wrestlers remind you of any actors, or vice versa?

So far I've got:

-Aubrey Plaza as AJ Lee

-Dustin Hoffman as "Nature Boy" Ric Flair

-Marisa Tomei as Mickie James

-Jake Gyllenhaal as CM Punk

The Rock as the Rock.

 

[Nate DaMac]

The Rock as the Rock.

You think he has that kind of range?

Mark Wahlberg as John Cena.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Find a thread that isn't dumb.

Whitney Houston's dead rotting corpse should do the soundtrack.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

You think he has that kind of range?

Mark Wahlberg as John Cena.

I was thinking maybe Matt Damon?

In a related statement, as Roddy Piper said in his book:

When I was wrestling people said I was an actor. When I was an actor, people said I was a wrestler.

Zach Galifianakis as Daniel Bryan.

Jude Law as Damien Sandow.

And Sean Claude Van Damme as (you guessed it) Rob Van Dam.

Heath Ledger as The Undertaker and Tom Hardy as Kane. Yep. Shit, I know.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

I'd have thought Zack Galifianakis would make a good Mick Foley.

 

[Jabroni Drive]

Tom hardy as Ryback
Alec Baldwin as Eric Bischoff

I'd have thought Zack Galifianakis would make a good Mick Foley.

He would. I'm just short-sighted because Bryan's actively wrestling.
