Has anyone heard anything about this movie? Found this on another site...Sounds good to me...Hell, anything that brings my two favorite worlds together can't be to bad...
Look, to let you all in on a little secret about me, now don't laugh, I actually did the wrestling thing for around 5 years. So I learned their tricks and made some good money doing it. Nothing to get rich off of, but enough to crank out a enough of a living for a single guy...I met a few of the Superstars before they were stars and wrestled a few of them during my time in the ring. Granted I never made it off the indie circuit, I had fun doing it...I stopped because a new kid hit me wrong in the leg and screwed my knee up bad enough the docs told me not to wrestle anymore...For those interested, I wrestled mostly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Indiana, a few matches in North Carolina...But mostly in Tennessee...
Anyways, here is the article I found about this movie...If anyone knows anything about it or know where I can get a sneek peek at it, let me know....
The last time that I really paid any attention to professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan was body slamming The Iron Shiek back in the eighties. However I did see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”, and recently watched John Carpenter’s cult classic “They Live”
starring “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. Heck, even Santo was fighting zombies onscreen back in 1961… a full seven years before Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead”
! So I suppose that professional wrestlers actually have a pretty long and notable history in film.
“Pro Wrestlers Vs. Zombies” is an upcoming movie that intends to continue that grand tradition! Despite being your average low-budget zombie film, it has managed to gain a huge amount press and support by featuring an epic cast of popular professional wrestlers such as “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Matt Hardy, Shane Douglas and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle.
With a promise to focus on traditional wrestling moves and “Good Old American Violence,” the filmmakers ran a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign last month and recently released their first trailer online, which you can watch above! But to learn even more about the film including the complete cast of professional wrestlers, behind-the-scenes photos and additional details, simply stop by the “Pro Wrestlers Vs. Zombies”website or visit the official Facebook page online!
