Probably could go ahead and merge this with the biggest tragedies in wrestling history thread if true.

[Shadrick]

OY, I AM YOUR FATHER, FELLA.

[el bobbo]

Didn't Darth Vader die? How the fuck are they going to bring him back?

[Nowhere Man]

Flashbacks, probably

[Big Vic]

are they going to edit him into the end of "Return of the Jedi" now?

[drave]

No, but someone needs to photoshop that shit for pure comedic value.

[Nowhere Man]

In all fairness, it's not like he'd have to do any real acting. The suit would cover him completely, and James Earl Jones would be reading all the lines (it fucking better be James Earl Jones), so all he'd really have to do is stand there and be tall, and maybe swing a lightsaber around.

Plus, there's a pretty strong chance that the whole thing is unfounded bullshit anyway, so y'know, grain of salt and all that.

[Big Vic]

No, but someone needs to photoshop that shit for pure comedic value.
I hope they do it irl and they have spinner title spinning a bit.

[Heisenberg]

A super agile red headed Darth Vader kicking someone in the face and/or arse is fine with me fella. Motherfucker could use some time off TV anyways.

[Nowhere Man]

Y'know what would be kind of amazing?

If WWE tried to capitalize on this by having Vader come out of retirement to fight Sheamus over the name.

IT'S VADER TIME, FELLA!

This would be terrible PR for the franchise if true. Why would they go with someone completely new in this field for the role even if he won't be talking or be visible? Since when is a Star Wars movie on a limited budget? I can already see hollywood shitting on the movie for having "pro wrestlers and sports entertainment" in here not to mention "drugs and steroids" allegations.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

This is why Ryan "Scum" Clark is a piece of shit. Obviously this is a joke but he still reports it because it's a "rumor." Might as well be from the Onion.

Journalists don't report on rumors. They report on things that happen. Thought this was going to be about the Rock.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

SlickyTrickyDamon, are you going to suggest Ryan Clark is a bad father again because of his wrestling reports?

All about generating $$$$$$


Haters gon hate.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

No drave, he glorifies and hyperbolises articles about wrestlers in order to get extra hits on his website so he is quite obviously a despicable human being and a terrible father.

I am surprised you remembered that thread after 10 years to be honest. Well worth the read!

Oh, I see.

Ryan Clark 4 prez.

[Sepholio]

Yea no prob with this. Anyone can wear the Vader suit; it's all about who voices him and it better be James Earl Jones. Or at least some imitator that sounds exactly like him.

He's no Dave Meltzer that's for sure...

[Emperor Smeat]

Somewhat interested in the idea of seeing Darth Vader brogue kick someone during the film.

[drave]

Haha! Fuck yeah that would be great.

[Purgatory]

He'd force choke a fella, for sure.

[Ermaximus]

If that is true, then let's go ahead and have Cole play Wedge Antilles and R-Truth can be Mace Windu.

Found this pic, used the Color Dodge tool to lighten the skin and add some specular highlights. I couldn't find his face pic and a Darth Vader pic that I could splice and have it look cool.

I considered adding "LaOch" somewhere.

[drave]

That is awesome, lol!!!

[Frank Drebin]

Kevin Nash or gtfo

[drave]

Really wanna hear Vader incorporate the use of "arse" in his normal vocabulary.

[Vastardikai]

I wonder if the folks complaining actually know the name of the guy who was in the suit for the Original Trilogy

[VSG]

It was a bodybuilder at a time when it was hip. Today wrestling is laughed at in Hollywood, remember Mickey Rourke declining a WM match because it could have jeopardized his chance at the Oscars?

[Purgatory]

Someone should try a voice synthesizer and an Irish accent to see how it sounds. I dont have a Mic:(....Maybe I can record the accent using my phones voice recorder then upload it that way...ill try it tomorrow

[Droford]

I thought it was going to be Cena's big Hollywood break.

[Hanso Amore]

I've seen it on other sites it's probably a stand in or physical only thing

That said stfu std you fat pig man

[simplythevest]

To be fair What would be epic is:

Darth Vader Sith Clone(s)

an army of vaders

Yeah, because Star Wars is such classy high art. A pro wrestler essentially doing stunt work would be a disaster.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kevin Nash or gtfo

Super Shredder v. Darth Vader...:drool:


















:shifty:

[The Rogerer]

Wrestlers are tall, musclar and experts at physical acting.

[Cool King]

Yeah, and in the end, it was him celebrating by drinking champagne straight from the bottle, after winning a BAFTA, that actually cost him the Oscar.

Apparently, anyway.
