8 Wrestlers Who Deserve Movie Biopics (And Who Should Play Them) 

Danny Devito would have been perfect to play Paul Heyman

It would be PERFECT

Literally a perfect casting

The funny thing is, I've been saying this since before the ECW/WCW buyout. Giamatti is an absolute genius, and he's a very close visual fit for Hayman. Giamatti's work on Man in the Moon showed he can handle biopic work well, and he fully embraces every role. I haven't been to a theater since 10,000 BC premiered, but I'd go watch this in theaters.

Literally perfect, that’s who I think of when I see Paul Heyman and vice verse

That one shocked me also, but damn it I'm all for it.

😂😂😂 managing T&A, how cool 👏🏼👏🏼

That’s exactly what I thought even Jared Leto as a “young version” of anyone is so silly he’s in his 50s and cage as taker would be awesome but again maybe twenty years ago lol

Yeah

For older Bruno I feel like they could use Robert De Niro

FACTS considering bruno had lived a interesting life and was one of wwe’s first big stars.

@@cliffordjackson3 yeah

I feel like you can do Nic Cage as well as an older version

Nic would be better, honestly. He's already weird af, so he could get into the character, no problem. He'd have way too much fun with the whole "son of the devil" angle.😂

NO IT'S NOT

SAM ELLIOTT

@@charlessmith48 Sam is a badass, but he's a bit long in the tooth for the role. 30 years ago, he'd have nailed it. He'd make one heck of a Jesse Ventura, though.

😂 I think Charlie is a bit too tall

This is the only right answer

FACTS😂.

Idk if Nic Cage should be Taker

@@zanethind I think it’s a terrible idea

True

people want Pedro Pascal to play as eddie

Would this biopic have any mention of Chris Benoit? I wonder what the directors would do about him, considering he was a huge part in Eddie's life

@meant4hell of course it would, but there would he no need to make the movie about what he did. End the movie at Eddie's passing, not Chris passing

The movie is in the early states. I think Chavo JR is trying to get the right people involved to get it in development. I hope we get to see this movie one day.

The Invisible Man with nobody as John Cena 😂

Jared Leto never ages though

@@zanethind If Jared Leto never ages, then he'll be able to play Seth Rollins.

@@zanethind I felt like I ages 5 yrs watching morbius

@@Frugal_J true

@@grimoldgamer6377 That is where Jared's power comes from, he steals it from the audience.

I'm pretty sure this was a comedy video... If they were serious, their choices suck

@@TucBroder if it was comedy, then they stumbled onto the perfect casting for Heyman ironically

Bruh

This was no doubt a parody video

Played by his son. Dominique Gurrerro

Maybe

Chavo Jr. has stated in an interview that given how well Iron Claw did and how for the most part it was faithful to the Von Erich story both how they were in the ring and their personal lives outside of the ring that him and the rest of the Guerrero family, and Rey Mysterio and his family are fine with A24 pictures doing a Guerrero bio-pic focusing on his grandpa Hector Guerrero, his dad Chavo Guerrero Sr. and uncle Eddie Guerrero trying to make Lucha-Libre a popular style of wrestling in the US during the 80s and 90s and the highs and lows of that real-life journey but on 2 conditions the first is it has to be a good film made with care and not made as a cash-grab to capitalize on the Guerrero name, and the 2nd is it has to capture both the highs and lows of Hector, Chavo Sr., Eddie, and the Guerrero family in the ring, and concerning their personal lives especially as a family outside the ring.

He was almost Thor, but I always thought they mossed a chance to use him as Sabertooth. He would have been much better than the dude from Manchurian Candidate.

NO😅

Just say EUGENE 😅

BRIAN ZANE FROM WRESTLING WITH REGRET

I could see it😅

The Wrestler (even though Randy the Ram was fictional), Fighting With My Family (Saraya/Paige was barely known AT ALL outside wrestling) and The Iron Claw (The Von Erichs are known in Texas but not worldwide) have all done decent business at theatres; even in my hometown of Sheffield, England, where the films were pretty packed in our biggest cinema...

stephen lang as Vince McMahon well I wish walter matthau could play Vince McMahon

Batista should play the Rock, Big Show - Andre, and Sandow as Savage

Kevin James, He just recently got back into amazing shape

In all seriousness though, good casting.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Bo Dallas
