How about Geoffrey Rush? He'd just won basically every award for his performance in Shine the year before and he's one of the best actors in the world. That character of Barbosa that he plays in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is so cookie cutter that its beyond brilliant that he can make it so memorable. He'd easily be able to do the same with Victor Fries and would be just as good of a choice from the Q Score standpoint.

Well ok fine then but I still think that Arnold gets shit on too much

It takes a lot more then a white face and suit to play Freeze. The main thing Arnold was missing, brains. Fries is a smart guy, not a meathead goofball like he was portrayed. Arnold is great and all but he deserves the hate for this role.

That's the script's fault not his

That's not always true. Remember my example of Rush playing Barbosa well? Go read his lines on paper and you'll realize how awful they are. How then could he become such a compelling character? Great actors rise above the limitations imposed on them in scripts.

Well if they made Freeze out to be a buffoon then that's not his fault

One of the attackers was former WWE Superstar Mike Knox, who participated in a dark match for the promotion in May. He was joined by three other former WWE talents—former developmental wrestler Wes Brisco, the wrestler formerly known as Luke Gallows, and D'Lo Brown, who works as a road agent for the organization. Organization officials are rotating wrestlers who won't be part of the eventual reveal into the attacks to make it harder to guess who is involved.

Well that's quite a group

Because he should stay behind the camera. I love D-Lo but I have absolutely no interest in him competing in a WWE ring. Gallows and Knox fuck yeah!

So basically what this says to me is that even though they know who some of the guys under the masks are, it may end up being some or none of them when they're finally revealed.

I think its time to stop the speculation on this one, tell the dirt sheets to go fuck themselves and just enjoy the ride.
