MJF is currently seeing success in Hollywood thanks to his role in “The Iron Claw” and upcoming role in “Happy Gilmore 2.” It’s easier for wrestlers to become actors now compared to before and he has called out Hulk Hogan for creating a terrible mold for wrestlers in Hollywood.

While speaking to TV Insider, MJF was asked if it’s easier now for pro wrestlers to be seen as more than just wrestlers when they try to get acting roles. He said it definitely is, thanks to the work that The Rock, Batista, and John Cena have done. He even laughed at himself for forgetting to mention Dwayne Johnson earlier when talking about people who’ve opened doors.

>“It’s easier because of the work that The Rock, Bautista and Cena put in. Also, I feel so stupid now because Dwayne [Johnson] is also on that list I spoke about earlier too.”

Growing up, MJF watched those guys break a mold that he felt Hulk Hogan unfortunately created by being one of the worst actors ever, with movies like “Santa with Muscles” and “Mr. Nanny,” which he called genuine garbage.

>“This was a great question. You might be the only interview that gave me a question I liked. Growing up, you’re watching these guys break this mold that unfortunately Terry Bollea [Hulk Hogan] created by being one of the worst actors of all-time with Santa with Muscles, Mr. Nanny, and all that genuine garbage.”

At the end of the day, MJF is just glad that the likes of The Rock, John Cena and Batista helped pave the way for wrestlers to become proper actors. After all, he made it clear he blames Hulk Hogan for ruining that for wrestlers in the past and it’s unlikely his opinion will change anytime soon.

Out of all the attempts that I've seen from wrestlers to shit on Hogan in an indirect roundabout way just for not personally liking him, that has to be the worst
This motherfucker is really acting like Hogan's the only wrestler who's done shitty movies, and who wasn't a great actor in them
Hogan is one of the earliest reasons why Hollywood decided to give wrestlers a chance at all to appear in major films, regardless of acting ability or the quality of the movie
I would have respected him more if he just rightfully cited Hogan as being one of the ones who opened that door, then just made it clear that he personally doesn't like Hogan but acknowledges what Hogan achieved

this guy wrestles on a show that does 500k viewers

>oy vey im having a hard time in hollywood, goy

suburban commando is more kino then anything this kike will ever be in

>>18185912 (OP)
And yet, The Rock, who came after Hogan supposedly ruined it, had even bigger success. I hope that quote isn't real.

>>18185912 (OP)
Hulk Hogan in Rocky 3 was perfect you evil jew mjf

>>18185912 (OP)
did he forget about the tooth fairy?

>dimeless jew who got a mark tattoo seethes at the biggest money making attraction in the history of wrestling
lol

Feels like whenever Cena or Bautista are the star of the movie instead of being part of an ensemble, the movie bombs. The Hulkster didn't have the luxury of being shielded by capeshit IPs and CGI.

im so excited for the endless console wars about mr nanny was actually the greatest film of all time

>>18186163
Do you get paid to invent things in your head to seethe about?

>>18185912 (OP)
we all know how he got a part in a hollywood production.

>>18185912 (OP)
The only words out of any wrestler's mouth regarding Hogan should be ''Thank you Terry, for drawing the house.''

>>18185912 (OP)
>MJF, known for his bit parts in a wrestling documentary and an Adam Sandler sequel..
And you're complaining about how Hogan stunk up Hollywood? Hell, Assault on Devil's Island was actually a pretty good 90s action movie.

>>18185912 (OP)
ok, but who asked the manlet jew?

>>18185912 (OP)
fuck mjf

>>18186025
this mindbroken pedophile only read the post title before he decided to publish his seethe

when was the last time the rock was in a watchable movie? i'll take no holds barred over dwayneslop.

>>18185975
It's funny since most of the modern wrestlers wouldn't even be wrestlers if it weren't for the Hogan and Vince connection running wild

>>18185912 (OP)
Imagine talking shit about an icon who drew ratings and sold out arenas for over 30 years kek. Manlet kike needs to hit the gym.

kek based fuck hulk hogan

This

>>18185912 (OP)
Unironically liked Hogan in Rocky and Three Ninjas.
This is bullshit anyway, though. It's like saying NBA stars are struggling in Hollywood because Shaq was in shitty movies. Truthfully, Shaq and Hogan only got opportunities in the first place because they were massively over, and Hollywood will try anything if they're convinced it'll sell.

>MJF Calls Out Hulk Hogan for Ruining Wrestlers’ Image in Hollywood
that's rich, coming from the guy who has humped another man's face

>>18185912 (OP)
Hogan’s role in Rocky III is literally what made him a star and kicked off the start of the Golden Generation of wrestling.

>Ugly Jude can't get roles in Hollywood
none of the others like you have this problem MJF

>>18185912 (OP)

MJF always going for a cheap pop or heat

You will never be in a Movie as awesome as Surburban Commando, Jew boy.

Piper was great in They Live. Carpenter shot the whole thing around the fact Piper couldn’t really act and it did come across great because his character is such an outsider. Don’t forget Jesse Venture had an S tier minor role in Predator and was perfectly serviceable in The Running Man. Hogan was also great in Rocky III even if he was just playing a wrestler.
Contrast that with MJF who played the kayfabe Von Erich and his next “big” role is one of 4 sons of Happy Gilmore who will have maybe 3 minutes of screen time.

>>18188632
Good on Carpenter for 4d chessing a memeworthy cheesefest of a performance, the guy was fucking dogshit at acting and you could really tell.
I gotta rewatch They Live.

>>18188666
Yeah if you squint you can see the logic at work. How do you convey that this guy is out of step with all the normies who are brainwashed? You just get a guy who can’t act and surround him with regular punch clock actors. He immediately seems off. I’m sure it’s on YouTube, there’s a documentary where he talks about casting him. When they talk together on the commentary he says stuff like he didn’t want someone “too polished” That’s sort of the nice way of putting it. When he’s not standing right next to Piper he just says “can’t act”. Carpenter is a sharp fucking guy, also a wrestling fan.

>>18185912 (OP)
>It’s easier because of the work that The Rock

>>18185912 (OP)
Hogan was about on par if no better than anyone he named between Cena, Batista and rock, hell Lou Albano was better than these guys he gets 0 mention. Good luck to Max in his upcoming roles I don't see him eclipsing these guys but good luck.

This whole interview is like something PWI would publish and it should be embarrassing it worked so many of you so easily

>>18189309
Nobody bothered reading a faggy MJF interview. Nobody who replied to this thread had any desire to read an article about MJF, and that is entirely MJF's fault for being a shitter

>>18185912 (OP)
SWM is better than anything this rat-haired Matzo-muncher will ever be associated with

>>18188797
And it fit perfectly because piper was your normal man who was thrown into the truth of the world.
and years later piper did great as the maniac in Its Always Sunny

>>18189132
The Rock got where he is because of charisma, but then the Ego kicked in and he became Hollywood Rock Johnson 24/7.
HoF speech Rock was still old Rock, Hollywood Rock became a thing from 2012 and onwards when he came back twice as bigger than Attitude Era like Predator era Arnold.

>>18188580
I WAS FROZEN TODAY!

>>18188202
Funny though, comics Steel/John Henry Irons-Lang is now a 1:1 image of Shaq and Married with Lana Lang the Red Superwoman

Is it true that there was a NC-17 scene cut out of 'Magic Mike' involving actor Kevin Nash and several black men?

>>18185912 (OP)
If mfj wanted to be a movie star then why bother with wrestling in the first place

>>18185975
With movies more than with wrestling, the truth is that it's a multi-man mission.
Hogan's acting may have been shit.
Hogan's acting may have been atrocious.
It may even have been cured suicide for little children at Make-A-Wish, "nurse I wanna kill myself" "ok Timmy here's Hulk Hogan in a tutu" "lol my condition's not that bad after all".
Every single shitshow Hulk Hogan put on the silver screen, had a director and a team of stooges who wanted him there, who wanted him to perform that way, who scripted it that way, and approved everything he did.

MJF shits on Hogan here but he knows it too, nothing that Hogan did in those movies was something that he came up with, storyboarded or approved.
Directors and producers okayed it. They liked it.
Just like how the director and his team liked what MJF did in the Iron Claw, a job done so well they cut half his work and the rest was forgettable. The whole movie was, for all its inaccuracies.

>>18185912 (OP)
>The rock
>Cena
>Batista
>proper actors
Name a single good performance. Also MJF got roles because he is a jew

>>18186163
It had nothing on Mrs. Doubtfire.

>>18188300
>that gif
Why did he do this?

>>18188632
Hogan's best role is unironically in Suburban Commando

>>18190105
That was Renee, not Nash

>>18188797
Carpenter also said he cribbed Piper's lines from Piper's promo idea notebook.

>>18185912 (OP)
All this bitch does is WHINE.

>>18185912 (OP)
Hogan never got good roles because his look is too limiting. It was the same thing with Steve Austin. They were pretty much made for wrestling and not anything else.

>>18191092
Ironic. The distinct looks that made them stand out in wrestling, makes it impossible to play regular jacked up people like Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

Batista isn’t bad as Drax in the Marvel movies. The character in the comics was a dull space Hulk and eventually edgy mid 00’s space hulk with tats. For better or worse he reinvented the character and the concept of big strong alien who can’t understand the nuances of language is fine for capeshit. He was imposing enough as the Bond henchmen ala Oddjob or Jaws if missing some personality but that’s more to do with the tone of the movies. He did a perfectly good Andrew Tate impersonation in that Knives Out sequel. He’s unironically the best wrestler turned actor. Cena is situationally good, I didn’t watch the Farrelly brothers movie he did but he really was good as Peacemaker. It’s a dimeless nothingburger character and he tried to give it some soul, not sure he can do much else besides different versions of that, a sort of big dumb screw up which I think he played in Farelly bro’s one.

Andre and Piper both had classic performances but they were 100 percent crafted around them and they succeeded without them needing to actually act.

>>18191092
Unlike Nash who was anti-dimes as a wrestler. He was clearly made for BBC

>>18191092
Go watch The Condemned and tell me it was Austin's physique holding him back from an acting career, cos the man can barely deliver lines with emotion.

>>18190340
Cena and Batista basically reinvented Peacemaker and Drax. No one gave a shit about Peacemaker before joj and Drax was a C/D lister before Batista put him in the spotlight. Batista did fine as Rabban. Honestly ive heard nothing but good about Batista's other roles.
Rock was fine in The Rundown, and is good as Maui.

>>18188632
I really liked Jesse's character in Running Man. He also appeared alongside Alex Trebek in an episode of X-Files. Not that you'd be able to tell, but I always got the impression he could actually act.
>>18191312
Yeah. You can tell he takes acting as seriously as he claims to in interviews. Even when he just has a small part.

>>18188115
>when was the last time the rock was in a watchable movie?

the rundown

>>18191361
The Rundown is the sort of the thing he should be in. B action comedy movies by serviceable directors. He’s not any better in it than anything else he usually shits out it’s just he hadn’t become a box office draw yet. Wasn’t overexposed, weren’t used to all his worst tendencies and hadn’t had the success that made him think he’s the biggest action star in the world.

His real best role is that weird Southland Tales where they gave the Donnie Darko writer/director like 50 million to make some insane rambling near future apocalypse vision. He did a similar trick to what Carpenter to with Piper. He had him playing what amounts to be a version of himself to make up for his inability to act. The character was a roided up action star who can’t act that had weirdly ended up with strong political connections. Through various mishaps he can’t remember all the details of his life and gets used as a pawn by various nefarious players in the end of days Venice Beach California. People said the movie was unwatchable but for all the people that say we’re living in Idiocracy and that was this underrated comic gem, or that Demolition Man had some weird prescience, life looks much closer to Southland Tales than any near future movie I can remember. It’s kinda fart sniffy and up its own butt and you have to read a graphic novel prequel to really get what the actual story is but he really did capture the feel of what 20 years in the future would look like.

>>18191409
A lot of passion to defend Vanilla Sky lol, I'm going to assume you're right because God knows I couldn't sit through it.

looking forward to Smashing Machine because I'm an early mma mark tbqhwy
