This is no doubt a way for the new CW to tie all of their shows together. I’m all for wrestlers getting into action, I just hope they don’t over cheese the whole thing. Besides, as beefed up as Batista is, he doesn’t have anything on Superman.
I’d love to see Clark toss him around a little bit.
Now what network is the “Phantom Zone” on? Just kidding of course. It is on the network where they need the young male demographic and will cross promote their programing by mixing in the talent from other shows. Hopefully, he has some real acting talent and won’t have to be edited so much that he will just ruin the show. Not many wrestlers have made a successful transition into acting.
I too fear the “cheese factor” though I didn’t have a name for my fear until Averagejoe said it’s name.
Speaking of wrestlers doing some acting. Triple H is awesome on the beer commercials. Man Law!
i hope clark lays the smack down on batista
USA network does some cross promo’s for their shows and Triple H is in some of those. They are short but he does a good job. Has anyone made a better transition to acting than the Rock?
It reminds me of how the Ultimate Fighting people on Spike Network, are showing up within the programs run on Spike....see Blade the Series and you’ll know what I mean.
