The movie The wrestler is loosely based on Jake the Snake. But is there any other wrestler who's life and career you think would make for an interesting and good film? Feel free to discuss which wrestler and specific moments in these guys careers you'd like to see covered.

I'd like a Von Erich film, would be a super sad film but a good one none the less I believe.

I'd love to see a Hogan one spanning for the 80s and ending in 03.

The format is simple peak in the 80s, lose it in the early 90s post steroid scandal, rise back up then the last fall before coming home. Plus all the backstage stuff he engaged in would be interesting to follow in a movie format. Also Benoit, Eddie, Jericho and Malenko as one movie.

Chris Benoit would be a sad film and cause alot of issues but it could be a good film I know one is in the making mainly focusing on his murder suicide.
-Childhood,stampede wrestling and training
- Japanese wrestling, WCW debut, meeting people like Jericho and the Guerrero's
- Love-life with Nancy, his first wife and children
- WWE debut, neck injury
- 2004 push
- Death of Eddie
- Final match and death
- Also aftermath of the incident.
Same with Eddie.

I know, I was just being a tit in a friendly way about it, noticed a lot of threads here come from there.

Yeah it's been mentioned a few times, most of the members here are on there too since WF accounts for around 90% of the IWC. Guess people lurk and copy.

Honestly Daniel Bryan. Feel like that'd be interesting.
