I personally think we should just use CGI to de-age Vince so he can play himself. He'd probably win an Oscar for Best Actor.

With it being WWE and Vince approved, the amount of revisionist history in this thing is going to be staggering.

Revisionist history aside (and really all biopics are guilty of it)
If it's even a tenth accurate to the man it'll be fascinating.

"This is Us" and "Crazy, Stupid Love?" Way too sweet and sappy for a Vince biopic.  |

Daniel Day Lewis or Willem Dafoe should play Vince.

The amount of actors that could play him is staggering. Could be a great character piece.

I was working on a reply but closed it by mistake. Brolin was the first choice that popped into my head. I feel like theres a lot of actors that would be great if they were younger - Michael Keaton, JK Simmons, James Spader, Thomas Hayden Church, Bryan Cranston, Kevin Spacey, Daniel Day Lewis (he is such a chameleon it is almost cheating). Maybe John Hamm or Timothy Olyphant I have no idea if he has any serious acting chops, but Andy Samberg could pull off the look of a young Vince  Maybe if Paul Dano bulks up  |

I hope that this isn't going to be a "great ideas man succeeds and is great" kind of story, because honestly the ascension of Vince McMahon isn't what interests me, it's the story of the decades-long wrestling magnate and general Insane Person.

He's had the most interesting life. I'll definitely watch this.

As others have said, I'm really hoping this doesn't end up a "great man" deification piece, a la the Ashton Kutcher Steve Jobs movie. Vince McMahon's life story is fantastic film material, but it's interesting precisely because of Vince's flaws and weirdness.
Vince as a scrappy, ambitious, competitive captain of entertainment industry success story, devoted family man, and sincere entertainer are only a few aspects of his interesting and complex character. I'm just as interested in "eccentric, unpredictable, impossible-to-please boss who lives in his own bubble" Vince, "overgrown adolescent who chuckles at dick jokes and toilet humor" Vince, "ruthless shark who drove people out of business and created a monopoly" Vince, and "shameless publicity hound who will do anything for attention" Vince.

Cena's moving more towards an acting career, right? You could totally see Vince casting Cena as himself. |
