Wrestlers going to be actors..
WWE recently opened a small office in Santa Monica, California which will be used as a talent agency. Vince is trying to get more wrestlers cast in films, TV shows, and commercials and generally wants wrestlers to have a bigger impact in Hollywood.
They are also hoping to get more celebrity involvement with the company after their success with Donald Trump and Kevin Federline. Kevin Dunn is one of the major people pushing for this.
As I stated recently, Vince Sr. fired Hulk Hogan for going into movies, but apparently this is not stopping. Will the diversifying of the WWE wrestlers have a huge impact on wrestling as we know it now? If the biggest stars are having to spend months taping a movie or promoting one, what will happen to Raw and Smackdown? If this happens, other wrestling industries may have the opportunity to rise up and knock Vince out of the ring like WCW once did. Is he really making the best move for wrestling and the industry, or is the sight of money making him blind?
