Batista seems like a genuinely likeable dude, especially if you follow his Twitter. I'm happy to see him be successful post WWE

Always liked him for the same reasons I liked Sid, can't put a finger on it but I always have.


He was right about the Shield. And it's sad that HE was smart enough to see being heel was the way to come back with Daniel Bryan being as hot as he was at the time but the WWE wasnt. Unless they were intentionally trying to cast him in a bad light.

NO ONE expected GOTG to be a huge hit, not even Disney/Marvel. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shyt. It was rude to literally laugh at big Dave for thinking it, but the prevailing thought before GOTG came out was that it was going to be Marvel's first flop and possibly damage the MCU brand forever.

I hated on him at the time, but later on I appreciate him. Told the E to stick it, making his money without them, and fukked mad bytches. What's not to like?

Then I must be full of shyt, cause I fully expected it to be a massive hit :manny:


This isn't shytty DC with their rotten rated films and suicidal fans, this is Marvel and Disney and I bow to them and all their greatness :whew: Marvel just don't make bad films or have flops, the MCU brand is untouchable and apart from the Hulk film; they will never have a commercial flop... EVER :ohlawd:

When DC brings out another shytty film and Marvel bring out another winner :noah::noah::noah:

Dave smoked with Rza? Might have been a little dust in that :lupe: *bong bong*. GOTG, Bond and Blade Runner is a hell of run. Hollywood Dave :whew:



Trips' movie ceiling was a bit part in Blade Trinity. Probably ran up on the producers after the last day of shooting like:

Trips: "So - I'm ready for my spin-off. Just send the script to my trailer before I leave today and I'll give you my notes...

Producers: "Your character is dead. And you're fired."

Trips:

. Cena - I can see being a TV host - at absolute best a solid cameo, but nowhere near a Rock level movie star.

Vince's perspective on pop culture was perfectly summed up in the Freddie Prinze Jr. interview that dropped a couple of weeks ago.



Freddie Prinze, Jr. On Vince McMahon Rightly Putting WWE Title On Bigger Stars, Vince Ignoring Fans - WrestlingInc.com

Yeah, I kind of laughed when, on the Thy Kingdom Come DVD, how Trips was talking about how he was always a wrestling guy, unlike The Rock, and would never go to Hollywood when it was the exact opposite. Around 2003/4 Trips and Steph were shopping themselves around Hollywood, but nothing came up from it. He even briefly talked about it in Muscle and Fitness in 2004

M&F: Do you have other projects in the works? There've been rumors about you playing Conan now that Arnold is no longer available for the project.

Hunter: I met John Milius [director of Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn] at a time when they were originally thinking about doing King Conan. He met with me and talked to me a lot about playing a part in the movie then. Before Arnold was elected [governor of California], John said if Arnold wins, I want you to play [the title] role. It's all up in the air, whether it's agreeable to everybody, but that's what John is saying.

M&F: Aren't you also working with John on a movie with the WWE production company?

Hunter: John had come up with a script and a project that he wanted me to star in. He talked to the WWE production office and they liked the concept -- we're probably going to shoot that in April in New Mexico. John wants to call it Jornada de Muerte, which roughly translated is Day of Death. I'm not sure Vince [McMahon, chairman of the Board of Directors of the WWE] likes that. Anyway, the backdrop is modern day, with the story centered on a motorcycle gang that's into drug dealing. I play this guy who's a piece of shyt in a lot of ways, but because of the circumstances and because he has a strong moral code -- kind of an "honor among thieves" type of thing -- he gets himself into a situation where he's in the right.

M&F: Would you like to continue with action movie roles or try something else?

Hunter: I'm happy just being an action guy. If you want to pay me $20 million to make a film in which all I do is beat the hell out of people, I'm fine with that. Nobody's going to book me to do Shakespeare, nor should they. I know what I am, I know what I do. On that same point, I think there's a huge need for [a pure action star]. Nobody's going to buy Ben Affleck as an ass-kicker.
