I read this somewhere and thought it was a great idea. If someone ever decided to make a biopic non-documentary film about Vince McMahon or the WWF, the perfect actor to play Vince McMahon is Spider-man's Willem Dafoe. Just check out him yelling and screaming in his board room meetings. They can even easily get him to look like Vince. Now this would be much better casting than Joe Pantoliano as the Eric Bischoff type character in that WCW, Ready to Rumble. But who here would see a big budget movie made by talented people about Vince or WWF. I mean most of us already know how Vince is classless and is a scumbag, so we wouldn't really have to see it to figure that out.

So I take it you have had personal dealings with the man?
or do you just base your assumptions on all the reports of people who have had bad dealings with the fucker? Of course you'll never, ever, ever hear any of the good dealing with him, cause that wouldn't be interesting.

Just like Mike Tyson is really a teddy bear, right?

If I were a producer, and I were to just piss my money away by making a WW...E movie that nobody would watch, I wouldn't waste my time trying to get Vince right. I'd go for the "'Season on the Brink' Brian Dennehy plays Brian Dennehy wearing a red sweater" 100 on the Unintentional Comedy Scale and cast Christopher Walken as Vince McMahon. That would be sooo claaasssic.

Fuzzy Logic, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Vince is an asshole, a scumbag, and sometimes an idiot. He did good with WWF and wrestling as a whole. But look at crap like WBF, XFL, and of course acquiring WCW. I mean look at his appearance on Bob Costas. As he was let himself get provoked into a roid rage mess like he is on TV. And while he may be faithful to his wife now, he cheated on her constantly and bragged about it in Playboy. Oh and then's there's that whole "show must go on" bullshit. Alright, I'm willing to accept with Vince McMahon continuing the show. But the next day going on TV and saying that with the Hart family watching is insensitive. And if you think it wasn't insensitive to the Hart family, they eventually dropped a huge lawsuit on the WWF.

Most people think Vince is a scumbag because he's a hardass. But let me tell you something people(Vile One) In the business world you have to be a hardass to stay alive. If Vince was a big pussy he never would've made it this far.
I always thought that if I was as ugly as that guy I don't know what I'd do.
Actually, I could see HBO making a movie like this at some point. Really, Vince is about as fun a subject as Don King, and the movie about him was pretty cool. It would never be a theatrical kind of thing, but as a cable tv movie, I think it could be interesting and draw pretty good ratings.

It's a looooong walk to PH from the 'Dome though - at least 5 or 10 minutes. They're not gonna beat each other all the way down there, then beat each other all the way back. They'd never make it! :)
