Even the Champ couldn’t escape a crappy movieKane said it best, "There is no drama in the world like wrestling".The scale and reach of a WWE show is astounding and to make so many storylines co- exist and be interesting is a challenge. But when it comes to a whole new medium such as movies, WWE hasn't been able to catch a break. The only reason some films did not make this list is because they’re relatively bearable compared to the worst movies WWE has ever produced. Here is a list of five (just five for your well being) of the absolute worst movies produced by WWE Studios-
#5 Legendary
Please, there is a reason why Cena sticks to doing toilet humor rather than serious drama. The man can very well hype up a match but when it comes to playing serious roles in an out and out drama, the face does ruin the place.
This was Cena’s first attempt at drama and remains his last till date and aptly so.
The only redeeming character this film has is Patricia Clarkson as the mother.
No matter how much of an emotional, feel good movie it was supposed to be with a bullied kid trying to follow into his brother’s footsteps to become a legendary wrestler, it was at best a below average attempt.
#4 Inside Out
Triple H gets out of jail a reformed man and everything gets down to all those typical action sequences ultimately. And of course there is a woman and child who need to be saved.
Typical in every sense, what’s even more bothering is that an actor of Bruce Dern’s stature stars in this film. What made Dern even sign on to this film?
Well, one redeeming factor is that Pixar made an animated film called Inside out this year and it’s mindblowingly amazing and a great way to forget this 2011 flop of a film.
#3 The Chaperone
Triple H gets out of jail again a reformed man. Well, Triple H has been typecast, people.
Well, this film was an attempt by the WWE to attract its younger audience. It stars Modern Family star Ariel Winter.
But Chaperone was not only a critical dud but a commercial dud as well. The thing is even if Triple H returns a reformed man he’s again dragged into the world of crime. Them trying to be funny and cool about it is where this movie comes up utterly wanting.
#2 Behind Enemy Lines 2
Here’s admitting the fact that the first part of this franchise was very well made and maybe deserved a sequel but the sequel is just plain appaling. Again, none of the set objectives are achieved. The movie was called an insult to the original movie, aptly so. Also, it lost money at the box office, aptly so as well.
This should always remain delible.
But this isn’t even the worst film that WWE has ever produced because there is something even more forgettable.
#1 Knucklehead
Well, as the title should convey, this was supposed to be a comedy.
And as you might have already made sense of is, this movie wasn’t even close to achieving that objective. Big Show stars in this movie as the eponymous character. His acting was criticised and so was the plot of this very cliched movie. The fact is that anyone who’d have watched this movie felt like the title of this film.
Thankfully, not many watched it and this was a major failure at the box office.
