WRESTLING FILMS THAT DESERVE THE RIFFTRAX TREATMENT, LAWLER AS WORLD CHAMPION, CAN VINCE BE FORCED TO RETIRE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-10-08 10:00:00

I saw that Mike put out an article on Rifftrax covering Edge’s “Money Plane” movie. Excellent! I love to see Rifftrax introduced to audiences that may not know Mike, Bill, Keven, Bridgette, and Mary Jo are still releasing content outside of their MST3k days.  Aside from the obvious gold mine that is “No Holds Barred”, what other wrestling movies/films starring wrestlers would either of you like to see Rifftrax cover?

There isn't a wrestling film ever made that doesn't deserve the Rifftrax treatment, but to me, Verne Gagne's The Wrestler and John Cena's The Marine are just dying for full-on Rifftrax treatment in my opinion.

The one thing in WWE that worked was NXT. Then Vince and his butt kissers say we can do better. This from the same group that has a ppv titled extreme rules and the most extreme thing announced is a triple that match. I guess after saying all that, is it time for someone to try and force Vince to retire?

How can you force someone to retire when they own and control the company.  That's just not happening.

Do you think WWE will bring back Championship Scramble matches?

No, I don't.  The concept really didn't take hold.

Could WWE NXT use Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal for Halloween Havoc?

Sure.  WWE owns the concept by virtue of owning WCW, but I don't see them going in that direction.

Did Jerry Lawler ever hold a world recognized title?

Lawler pinned Curt Hennig to win the AWA World championship in May 1988 and held the belt until early 1989 when he left the promotion due to a pay dispute and vacated the belt. He had a memorable title vs. title feud with World Class champion Kerry Von Erich culminating at the one and only AWA PPV, Superclash III in December 1988.
