Guest Fight Me. Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 More moves being made outside of the ring by WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment's film studio WWE Studios Inc. is set to partner with Netflix according to PWInsider. WWE is working with the streaming service to present original films with the plan being to release them on Netflix. The report notes that Netflix and WWE are targeting family audiences and the first project that they'll be working on together is entitled 'The Main Event' which begins filming this summer. 'The Main Event' is about a ten year-old kid who has a dream of becoming a professional wrestler but those dreams are shut down by his peers. The young kid then discovers a cereal that gives him super-strength and he soon becomes a wrestler known as "The Spaghetti Kid". The report also notes that John Cena is scripted into the film making a cameo appearance and the current version of the script has roles slated for The Miz and Bray Wyatt. The screenwriter for the film, Larry Postel has three other projects in the works as well as 'Flip Turn' is in filming, 'Driver Les' is in filming and 'The Lift' is in pre-production. The latest film that WWE Studios was a part of is 'Fighting With My Family' which releases globally in the United States on Valentine's Day and 'The Buddy Games' starring former 4-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is in post-production. https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/report-wwe-studios-partnering-netflix-present-original-films-first-project-begins-summer?amp&__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPC Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I'll give it a chance.I actually liked the Chaperone, and some others like See No Evil so who knows. This could only help. Just wish it was on Hulu instead of Netflix but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Most WWE arent bad for what they are. They arent winning any Oscars but they are enjoyable. 12 Rounds with Ambrose was a good one and Miz is decent in the Marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 WWE movies, especially The Marine are like the modern equivalent of 80s B action movies. Enjoyably shit, but also incredibly tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Saint Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just give me a 'Santa with Muscles' remake starring Rusev. It will make the entire WWE Studios endeavor worth it. That would be amazing. It would put Hogan's version to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 So, the Big Show 'Show' is one of those weird "portraying the family of a real person, with actors who aren't his family" type shows? That format has always been strange to me. Anyway, I guess it will be like the Big Show equivalent of 'King of Queens' or 'The Bernie Mac Show'...should be fun enough.
