The World Wrestling Entertainment’s side company called “WWE Films” had just changed it’s name to “WWE Studios” hoping to be fully part of the movie business in Hollywood to become more mainstream. This WWE movie company is just like a regular film business like all film businesses in Hollywood. WWE just wants to give WWE superstars an opportunity to star in a leading role of the film. So far, WWE Films has already made three major movies: “The Condemned” starring Stone Cold Steve Austin, “The Marine” starring John Cena, and the horror film “See No Evil” starring wrestler Kane. Since all three of those movies flopped in the box office, WWE hopes to make more successful films in the future.

WWE is currently working on two films a comedy film titled “Suckerpunch” which stars the Big Show and “Behind Enemy Lines 3” which stars Mr. Kennedy both in leading roles. WWE plans to make films in all genres starring wrestlers but will not go for the R rating.

The WWE now wants to make drama TV series that has nothing to do with live wrestling for superstars such as Mick Foley, Rowdy Piper, Ric Flair, and of course who else, Stone Cold.

Keep in mind that wrestlers are not only athletes they are also actors. The film company WWE is doing is nothing but another marketing tool to help promote WWE live shows and ppvs.
