What famous movie character(s) would make great wrestlers?

[John la Rock]

I'm not sure if this goes in the wrestling forum or movies/tv forum but who cares.

Anyways, what movie character(s) do see could be great wrestlers. I'm talking about character and personality.

One character that comes to mind is Appollo Creed (Carl Weathers) from Rocky. He has the mic work, the charisma, and personality which IMO makes an entertaining wrestler. He could be a great heel.

What other movie character(s) can you think of?

[Rock Bottom]

Wesley Snipes. In any way, shape or form. Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man comes to mind.

[PureHatred]

Riddick from "Pitch Black." Deadly. Cool. But his character is very silent, so I'd have Chris Tucker's character from 5th Element be his manager.

[John la Rock]

Another character that comes to mind is Mickey O'Neil (Brad Pitt) from Snatch

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jason Voorhees vs. Kane :drool:

[El Santo]

Robocop.

What?

Fine. How about Richard Roundtree's John Shaft. (I tried to imagine the Samuel L. Jackson Shaft, but for some reason he doesn't come off as a wrestler. On the other hand, Roundtree does.)

[Ferocious]

Huggy Bear (Not Snoop Dogg)
Mike Lowery (Will Smith in Bad Boys)
Warren (Theres something about Mary)
James Carter (Chris Tucker in Rush Hour)
The guy Adam Sandler played in Airheads
New Womens Champ (Angelina Jolie) Lara Croft
Samuel L Jackson (51st State)

[HankScorpio]

Bruce Willis from Die Hard as a face, every match he would get the crap kicked outta him for like 25mins then through sheer luck he'd fluke a win (wouldn't cheat either), would be a terrible character but the WWE marks'd love him
other than that gotta have Snipes as Blade

[Ferocious]

I think the best Wesley Snipes Carachter in this instance would eb the one from White men Can't Jump. He's Cocky and brash, but also very clever.

thats a good point, but I was thinking if he used the Blade character he would have the Kung-Fu background allowing JR or King to use the "educated feet" line :lol:

Good ones :y:

[big_bluto]

Mel Gibsons 'Lethal Weapon' character.
Him and Danny Glover could make a tag team similar to Jamie Noble and Farooq.
Emm...maybe not!
Anyway, Mel Gibson - martial arts, wisecracks, psycho attitude. The complete package!

I also reckon Steven Seagal (any movie) in the Royal Rumble would be wicked.
He's just be tossing everyone's ass out the ring, without ever moving his feet!

[Innovator]

Punisher
The Saints as a tag team
Snake Pliscan
the revolting blob from Billy Madison

[big_bluto]

CHEWBACCA!!!!!!!!!!
He'd be massive, hairier than A-Train, a face, no-one would understand his promo's but they'd be cool anyway, and he could kick ass and roar at the same time!

[Stickman]

Thunderlips from Rockey 3

[Ferocious]

[BLaZeR-]

Samuel L. Jackson's "Julius" and John Travolta's character(I forget the name) from Pulp Fiction.

The Scorpion King. :cool:

[John la Rock]

John Travolta's character(I forget the name) from Pulp Fiction.



Vinnie Vega

[El Santo]

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh SPIDERMAN (sorry rey rey)

Wow. There's already a built-in feud there as Macho Man jobbed to Spidey in less than 2 mintues. :)

[Lamuella]

Tin-Tin from The Crow

Tell me you don't want to hear Jericho or someone like that say to someone "You cheap-ass, chrome-dome, child molesting saprophyte motherfu</>cker"

[PureHatred]

That guy from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome who refuses to die. The bald guy with the manequin head strapped to his back. No idea what his name is .

Damn, looking on this thread it seems movie villains make the best characters.

[Loose Cannon]

Well it's not famous, but if anyone has seen Steven King's "Storm of the Century," the character of Linoge would make a great evil character in wrestling.

[ColdwaVer]

Robocop.

*guy runs in from offstage and whispers*

Sh</>it, I've just been informed that someone said that already.

[ColdwaVer]

Jaws (from the James Bond movies)

Fu</>ck that, they should get the shark instead. :shifty:

[Champion of Europa]

The Bride (Kill Bill)

That'd be one awesome angle for Trish.

[Fox]

How about that bleach blonde haired guy in the Where's Waldo shirt who got knocked through the wall from The Punisher? That guy is pretty big and has a good look for a wrestler. Of course, I could be wrong. He could tear his quad from stepping into the ring for all I know.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]
