WWE is now a breeding ground for Hollywood.

WWE is no longer a wrestling company in my eyes and is pretty much an acting school. With WWE studios and tv spots it wouldn't surprise me if people like Cena, Miz, Orton, Ambrose and a few others leave WWE for greener pastures.

Agreed with the Batista comments. Also, I have a feeling that Ambrose is going to do amazing in Lockdown. It may not be a huge box office hit, but ya never know. It may lead to bigger and better things. Then again, who knows if his acting skills stretches past his element of wrestling. I think it will, but ya never know if he has a comfort zone or not. Maybe this is something he just wanted to try out. If Ambrose applied to movies what he does to his acting in the WWE then I think he could definitely make it as an actor, alone. But then it goes back to the whole comfort zone thing. The guy is all about wrestling.

I disagree because most of WWE's movies are direct to dvd that no one really cares about. There's a reason why their wrestlers are only getting those roles . Do you think, that if someone like Cena or Orton got an actual movie offer they wouldn't allow them to do it? Of course not

No, all the WWE movies suck plus none of the other current WWE wrestlers really have the charisma the Rock does to make it big in hollywood even tho most of his movies kinda suck.

The Rock
Batista
Hogan

in that order, batista still needs to make a couple of other movies to pass the Rock even tho guardians was better than anything the Rocks been in.

Chris Jericho, when interviewed by Kevin Smith, stated that he feels WWE is roughly Hollywood bootcamp training. WWE stars must remember lines, deliver their character's impression/emotions of a decision or match result, and perform their own stunts live with just one take. (Unless it's the first Sin Cara and Vince made you go back out there and re-do your match.)

The only person WWE has "bred" for Hollywood is The Rock. That's only because he has that one in a million charisma.

Batista didn't need WWE. He stated that Hollywood didn't give a shit about WWE which means everything he did was on his own merit. WWE deserves 0 credit.

Most of those careers in Hollywood flop. Movies with Cena, Big Show, Kane, etc are usually really bad films. Even music careers, remember when Cena went on BET to promote his album and then it flopped? How did Maria's career go? Litas band? The Rock is the only real success.
