Alright, folks: Let's help expand half an hour of grainy, 80s video footage into a two-hour feature film by WWE Films. Budget's not much of an object, but we want to keep the spirit of the original tape.
Who's directing? Who would you like to see added to the cast? What sort of wild, zany antics do you want to see? How do we sell this to the casual movie-goer? When does it escape to the theaters?
Anyone?

The last half of the movie is Sea Creature fighting Big Bart kaiju style in the streets of Tokyo

A movie would be a bad idea. This type of comedy works better in small doses. I'd love to see a half hour show on the network with actual matches.

If you want to go movie format, then you either simply make an actual card (complete with promos and matches) into a movie, or you go full Spinal Tap/Christopher Guest mockumentary style.

REFEREE CHIP HENDERSON: "Our countouts go to eleven. All the brawls last month with Big Bartholomew and the Sea Creature, eleven, eleven, eleven ..." INTERVIEWER: "Oh, I see. And most promotions go up to ten?" HENDERSON: "Exactly." INTERVIEWER: "And does that mean the brawls are any wilder?" HENDERSON: "Well, it's one wilder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most refs, you know, will count up to ten. You're at ten, all the way up, you've counted to ten. Where can you go from there?" INTERVIEWER: "I don't know." HENDERSON: "Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, for that extra push over the cliff, to give us better action than other wrestling companies, you know what we do?" INTERVIEWER: "Count to eleven." HENDERSON: "Eleven. Exactly." INTERVIEWER: "Why don't you just count a little slower and make ten the top number?" HENDERSON: (pausing) "Ours go to eleven." |

I'd rather get a wrestling card out of it than a movie.

I think this works best in small doses but I rather get a card first and then go from there

I can see this working as either mokumentary style, maybe in a flashback type format where the stars of Southpaw look back on the run up to a significant card, or an Anchorman style movie set in the heyday of Southpaw. So many possibilities!!

No Fred Willard, No Buys. He has to play an over the top manager, perhaps a face manager that freaks out when his team keeps dropping the ball (and he just keeps on doing it, no real reason, that's Fred!). |

They were okay for KFC commercials. I didn't think they were as good as most others did.

I'm still hoping they continue it or at least film a finale episode.

I just wanna see Lethal Leap Year. If they ever do followups, they should reschedule it for 1989. Not 88. |

The last half of the movie is Sea Creature fighting Big Bart kaiju style in the streets of Tokyo In true Southpaw style, "Tokyo" is literally cheap cardboard with Nashville used as establishing shots. |
