It will star Danny Glover and John Cena. Not sure how it will turn out. Maybe better than "Reversal" and "One More Shot", but likely won't have the success of "Vison Quest".

What in the heck would Ricky Bobby know about movies? wink

I viewed the trailer on it from the link that Ricky Bobby provided and it looked liked it might be pretty good to me. It has some great actors in the movie with Danny Glover, Patricia Clarkson and Hal Holbrook. I am glad to see Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly or Sacha Baron Cohen were not in the cast. I give it an early thumbs up.

As long as it sheds wrestling in a positive image, I wonder what kind of impact it may have upon amateur wrestling. I am sure several people in the 80's probably were drawn to wrestling because of the pro stuff. Iron Sheik, Bob Backlund, and Ricky Steamboat were all elite amateurs. Plus some thought if they did the training with amateur that they would make the bucks in pro and be the next Hulk Hogan.

I think it may wind up being a surprise movie, but they need to advertise it more then just on stations that have WWE.

I'm not sure it is helpful to our sport to have a WWE actor portraying a wrestler.
