Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that Vince bleeding during the segment was planned in advance. People who have been in the wrestling business for decades told Meltzer that Vince most probably bladed prior to the segment and covered it up with nu-skin, which would eventually lead to the wound re-opening with blood coming out (as a headbutt can’t guarantee blood and the blood was planned in advance).

Yeah that grossed me out on a visceral level. For those that haven't seen it, HHH told a story about a time he wrestled Mick in an arena with no AC and afterwards he takes his sweaty clothes off, showers, towels off with his sweaty clothes, puts them back on, and then continues on his way.

Mick Foley is probably one of my favorite wrestlers(even if I'll admit I haven't seen much of his in ring performances outside of what is included in his focus episode of The Monday Night War), but yeah that is amazingly gross, the popcorn bit I found hilarious though(partly because I used to do a smaller scale equivalent back when I interned at a movie theater the summer after I graduated High School)

That one story Jake The Snake Roberts shared about Andre The Giant managed to be even grosser somehow though

Is there some disease that makes it so wrestlers who can deliver insanely charismatic promos and perform scripted acrobatic and strongman stunts for 20+ minutes at a time with enough chutzpah that many grown-rear end people believe that Wrestling Is Real, can't act in a movie for poo poo?

Many wrestlers act like themselves, and being in a movie generally means playing something other than yourself.

There's also the fact that someone who is really, really good at acting is probably good enough to not have to get involved in wrestling in the first place.

Yeah, but how do you regress the other way? Like, you can kill it most weeks live in front of an audience of dozens but on a closed set with virtually unlimited takes, no dice.

If you look closely right after he gets hit, before the blood starts to run, you can see 3 obvious little scratch marks on Vince's forehead.

I'll never forgive that movie for not living up to the very simple potential of just having it be Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones attempting to kill each other while talking poo poo at each other for 90 minutes :mad:

I really thought from the trailer that the Bruce Lee movie was going to be good. It looked like a movie in the Rocky vein depicting a fight between Lee and a Chinese Shaolin Master, a primordial conflict between progress and tradition. A depiction of young Bruce as an arrogant and flawed but visionary fighter as well as a teacher who cast off expectations in his methods, taking on a seemingly affable, wise, even noble opponent who is nevertheless close-minded in his own right and a tool of establishment politicos here to silence a threat to their power in the martial arts world. A film that would show how his surroundings and circumstances shaped Lee and his beliefs leading up to the confrontation in contrast to his opponent's more archetypal way of thinking, and leave us guessing as to the outcome of this clash of philosophies because the actual real-life winner is unknown.

In reality all that stuff was barely a backdrop for a fictional white guy rescuing his girlfriend. Thanks WWE films.
