Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 NBC is getting in the ring with a put pilot commitment to a drama about the 1980s professional wrestling boom, which is executive produced by one of the biggest 1990s wrestling stars, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock. The fictional drama set in the world of wrestling in the 1980s, hails from Bruckheimer TV, marking a departure from the company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistVaj Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think a pissed up Will Ferrell would make a great Roddy Piper, and you could have Stephen Graham play the Dynamite Kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Go ahead. What person should play each WWF wrestler/personality from this golden period. I'm off for a think about this one. Â Â Is it going to use real people in it or is it all going to be fictional? Still a good question though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Â Will Ferrell IS... Ric flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdh85 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Quinton Jackson might as well be Mr. T. again I suppose. Â I think Robert Downey Jr. would make a tremendous Ric Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted August 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 [unimaginative] Rampage Jackson as Mr T. Â As I mentioned in t'other thread, Tom Hardy as Sheiky Baby. Don Cheadle as Virgil. Will Ferrell as "Saturdays Night Main Event" commentator Vince McMahon. Â Can't think of any others, shattered. Â Oh, the Chuckle Brothers as The Bushwhackers.

Â FACK! Â Tom Hardy should play Dynamite. Â BALLY BALLY!! Â Anyway Ian, are we including our ideal line-up consisting of Hollywood mega stars? Or a realistic evaluation considering that it's going to be the small screen? Because in that situation, we might get some good names here and there but no Pacino etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 23, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2011 Isn't he dead? Are you talking the worker or the entertainer? Fred's dead, but I believe the man behind the gimmick is still kicking. I only found that out recently. Fred had been so typecast in my mind, I thought he died along with the character.
