Here’s our first look at THE MARINE 3 from WWE Films, starring The Miz.
We at THN clearly love films. But like Doris Day, some of us harbor a secret love, namely pro-wrestling. Even more secret would be our enjoyment of movies STARRING wrestlers. Truly terrible films. Once in a blue moon you get someone like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a breakout star who left the spandex-clad world of rasslin’ to thrive in Hollywood. But most of the time, films starring wrestlers stink more than their tights at the end of a long week (At some point, we really must do a detailed examination of these hilarious anomolies). A good example would be THE MARINE franchise, a series of bloody awful flicks produced by WWE’s film wing, starring their own grapplers. The first one had John Cena, a HUGE star and face of the company who enjoyed minor success in cinemas. The second had Ted DiBiase Jr (son of 80s in-ring legend The Million Dollar Man) assume the marine mantle, to less success.
Here is the teaser for the third in series. This instalment stars Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin, a wrestler who is about as popular as a surprise turd in a sock. Action films don’t get more generic than this and this will surely top anyone’s list of ‘Sequels Nobody Asked For.’ Should be good for a laugh, though.
