"The final days of Chris Benoit will be re-told in a new big screen 'biographical thriller', entitled Crossface.
SRG Films have bought the rights to Matthew Randazzo's book Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry, to retell the wrestler's story, whose career and life ended in a double murder–suicide.
Sarah Coulter has already written the first draft of the script, which is expected to begin filming late next year. Talks are underway with potential actors and directors and the film already has an IMDB page.
Coulter says, "People immediately point to steroids, never thinking about the brain trauma these wrestlers can, and do, incur in their profession, nor do they consider the rigorous schedule that keeps them working even when they shouldn't be. The Benoit story is one that needs to be brought into the light."
Holy shit. Thoughts on this?
Finally someone is bringing light to the Chris Benoit story, I'm a diehard Benoit Fan so I'll be looking forward to this.
On a dumb note: Hey someone posted Botchamania! :D

When I heard "biographical thriller", I thought they'd make a wrestling version of The Social Network. I just hope they don't release it the same month as the WWE Network, or we'd see another XFL.
P.S. The cartoon on your sig - it creepily looks more like Regal than Piper.
Alright I gotta get this off my chest... After watching that Kane Promo vid today I'm really hoping he doesn't comeback with the mask. I know it seems very unlikely that he would anyways, but you never know.
Yep. Finally they're slowly trying to get Dolph in the title picture, even if it's in #1 contender matches.
Also, JoMo being the very first superstar to be publicly "future endeavored" on live TV by WWE. Other superstars were given the online obituary treatment, JoMo gets his live on air. Cool. Wonder if he got a free Laurinaitis t-shirt.

Should've been better if Ace gave him the shirt by shooting him in the nuts with a T-shirt gun. He should do it too. He IS Mr. Excitement.
didn't bother to watch for the most part, but watched the ending...
I spazed the fuck out! masked Kane is back! although I'm glad, I can't find the logic for bringing him back with the mask... Mask sales?

Well they WERE planning to beat a Guiness world record for most masks worn in an event by pitting Cara and Rey together for 'Mania but now...
Zack Ryder wins Trending Superstar of the year...that makes me happy...
as for Masked Kane well I really don't know what to say, I just want to see how this is going to work out for the future.
also appearances by both Road Dogg Jesse James(OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW?!) and Lita where surprising to say the least. the Pipe Bomb Of The Year Moment was awesome, most hilarious moment of Raw tonight.

If you're not a WWE-bashing ex-Superstar then you'll always get some phone calls from Mr. Excitement about appearances here and there. And as my gramps say, never burn bridges and you'll never run out of roads.
Yes, the Pipe Bomb of the year. 100% anatomically correct.

Gotta love the soundtrack.
that was the song from the old transformers cartoon movie if I'm not mistaken...
OT: thats still funny no matter how many times I watch it. "If you ain't got it, then get it. If you don't get it, then figure it out"...wat?

I gotta admit, I spazzed out when Kane came out. I can honestly say that I'm eating my own words right now.
