Could the WWE use WWE Films to get Chris Jericho, The Rock and Muhammad Hassan back?
OK, I know it seems kind of silly asking, and WWE Films isn't a confirmed success yet, but the guys mentioned in the title obviously love wrestling. They wouldn't put their bodies through it if they didn't get something out of it.

The Rock is fine where he is. He's getting movie roles, probably more than he needs, and he's not doing too bad in them. He's also the guy who constantly speaks out most about missing the crowds, though. Sure, it would be a spotty schedule, and even if he did sign for a movie with the WWE, coming back to wrestle and make appearances, it would only be for a short time before he's either on his own way or off shooting another movie/promotion it.

Chris Jericho's career isn't a failure, but he's not getting any younger, and he hasn't had the same instant success. He's doing comedy at a while. With WWE Films he can just go straight to being on the screen, which can get him that kick-start.

Mark Coprani is dead for all we know. He would probably benefit the most from a WWE Films deal.

If Jericho, The Rock and Hassan were able to be coerced back, it seems likely the WWE would have already tried it, but with the recent blend of wrestling with movies, I don't see why the above guys wouldn't consider it. Especially considering they would get the push of a lifetime, particularly in the case of Jericho and Johnson.

Yes, but they won't.

I doubt Sci-Fi Channel has any better of a budget for movies than WWE can manage, so I see no reason why Jericho wouldn't do it. Beats the hell out of that rumor of him hosting the Ebaum's World show.

The Rock still has a long line of movies to be released and in production, so far as I know. Rather less likely. He'll still show up on Raw a few times a year, though, I'm sure.

I really like the idea of Hassan involved in this. If they can't get the character through the wussy censors at some network, do you think they might actually be able to work a movie out of the Hassan character itself? Makes me rather wish I had the creative flair required to come up with a proper plot for it.

Edit: Hey, 200 posts. Go me.

As much as I love Jericho (hell if my girlfriend dumped me for Chirs Jericho I would give her my full blessings) I dont know if WWE would want him back.

Im sure they value his talents but they dont see him as invaluble

WWE never want to use Mark Copani again.

Chris Jericho needs credibility outside of WWE.

The Rock is dead. Dwayne Johnson is far too big of a star to go near this carny film department.
