Hacksaw Jim Duggan criticised Mickey Rourke for his behaviour during the WrestleMania 25 weekend on his WWE.com blog update. He wrote “BUT, my one high spot of the night, I went up to the top floor to check on my girls and on the way back downstairs I saw three guys coming toward me in the hallway. The top floors of the hotel have security, so I figured they must be someone I knew. As we get closer, I step to the right and two of the other guys do also, but one guy takes up the whole hallway, even though he is not all that big. I don’t have on my glasses, so I can’t really tell who he is, but anyway, as we pass I say ‘you got enough room there Mack?’ and keep walking. The other guy stops and says ‘What did you say to me?’ So I told him again, but with a few adjectives. He says ‘You don’t talk to me that way’ now, as I start to focus in on the guy, I can see it is Mickey Rourke. The other two guys step in and break up the war of words. But, I was disappointed to see someone like that, act like he was a big shot. After of years of meeting real Movie stars, musicians, sports stars and other true big time celebrity’s, I was not going to let that ruin my night.”
Dwayne Johnson will not be playing Captain Nemo in the upcoming Disney remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Director McG confirmed that Will Smith is up for the role instead and that Johnson was never attached to the project. He said “I don’t know where that came from. I’ve never spoken to Dwayne Johnson. You can be the first to report that I have no idea where that came from. I wish him every success, but I never spoke to Dwayne about this.” Meanwhile, check out The Onion and their latest on the ongoing transformation of The Rock into good ol’ Dwayne Johnson.
In other movie news, Batista and Rob Van Dam will be in Louisiana filming The Wrong Side of the Town this month. Batista is also due to guest star on renowned shitty Australian soap opera Neighbours next month.
Following her recent appearances with MVP on WWE, The View’s Sherri Shepherd told OK! Magazine that she wants to train to become a professional wrestler. She said of her experience in Madison Square Garden that “I didn’t even want to leave. I was asking Vince McMahon, can I join?”
It’s unfair to call ‘Neighbours’ shitty. It’s far, far worse than that. And why allow Batista on it? It’s watched predominantly by teenage girls or middle-aged women with no life – or Brits – so surely John Cena would be a better fit. Sad that WWE has so little knowledge of their fan base that outside the US they’ll just find any high-rating (or modest-rating) show and chuck their wrestlers there to see what’ll stick. Sorry… but ‘Neighbours’? That sucks.
I would mark out for a crossover match involving Harold Bishop though.
Or Toady…
