Shad Gaspard's Myspace Blog said:Good News, Im past the first part of casting for the new Conan the Barbarian movie as one of the main villains UKAFA. Now its down to me and several others to see which one of us will go head to head with Jason Momoa. This role is as important to me as playing The Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns was for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. I never ask my fans for much, but if you think I would be the best opponent to fight Jason Momoa in the new Conan the Barbarian film then I need you guys to hit the Conan chat rooms, forums, blogs, tweets, and message boards and let them know Shad Gaspard is the man when it comes to kicking ass and taking names on the big screen.....
So what do you guys think of possibly (but unlikely) seeing Shad on the big screen? While Shad is somewhat amusing in small doses, I just can't see him as the main villain in a feature film. While I wouldn't want to be in a fight with the guy, he just doesn't look mean enough to pull this off. Also, he doesn't have anywhere near the charisma The Rock had. I understand how he compares this as his "Scorpion King" (which should actually be The Mummy Returns, since that was The Rock's first feature film in the US) but come on man, you're not him. Anyway, Conan will probably be one of those movies that few people see, so I don't see it jump-starting Shad's film career, nor do I ever see him outgrowing wrestling like The Rock.
NB: Don't know if this is the right place for this, but since it concerns a wrestler on Smackdown, I figured it's a good spot. If a mod thinks it should be somewhere else, please move it.
