So I've been on a Pootie Tang kick lately and thought about how awesome a character like Pootie would be in a wrestling setting. The language, the style, an entrance theme entitled "_______". Gold. Anyway, what films would y'all like to see wrestling adaptations of?

I'd like to see a guy based on Otis Firefly from the House of 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects films.
The guy would talk in a thick southern accent and look like would cut your throat if you looked at him the wrong way. He'd also have a white trash sister who would get various good guys in trouble with her brother, accusing them of all kinds. Eventually she would genuinely fall in love with a face and this would result in a grudge match between Otis and his sister's new boyfriend. His speciality match would be some kind of steel cage match, but slightly modified in some way to make him seem more like a psycho.
And he would be played by someone like Necro Butcher or Cody Deaner.

I'd love to see someone do a Being John Malkovich angle, where one wrestler discovers a portal into another wrestler's head, and starts controlling him during matches.

A friend and I were quoting Airheads on Facebook the other day, and I dropped an idea for a Lone Rangers stable.
I have no idea how it would work, but it would give me a chance to cut a promo on a GM character saying "For all you care our matches could be Pip farting on a turnbuckle!!!!!"
Hmmmm, now that I think about it, it could work as a slightly comedic, face version of Nexus.

A Michael Corleone gimmick would be awesome.

I'd love a documentarian-type character who was really pushy and tried to expose the other wrestlers for their devious deeds. Something like a Michael Moore who you could easily make heel or face depending on the picture he was trying to paint of his opponents.
He could be useful as a catalyst for stories between other wrestlers as well. Basically, GTV only an actual known person behind it who was an imposing physical threat.

I would also like a tag team of vets who could still believably go and who were great on the stick to be sort of an Expendables-type alliance, with an almost self-aware "can you believe we're still doing this?" vibe to everything they did.

I was just thinking the other day how cool a film noir detective gimmick could be if done properly.

You know Human Tornado and Black Dynamite are both largely rooted in the same film as their source material, right? (Language, Blurred-Nudity and Excessive Awesomeness warning) It's the sequel to Dolemite. I know both borrow a lot of influence from 70s blaxploitation films in general, but the visual cues, language, mannerisms, vibe from 'Dolemite II: The Human Tornado' is their most visable core. The entire film is uploaded on YouTube and is absolutely worth a watch.

Wasn't this Flair and Piper in their tag team title run? Were they? This was during a few years when I was taking a break, so if you could point me in the direction of some clips, I'd love to see it.

I'm not sure of specifics because I wasn't watching regularly either but I think they beat the Spirit Squad for the titles. They were basically going "Yeah, we're old. But we're also freakin' Ric Flair and Roddy Piper." I got what they were going for but it was kinda sad to see how flabby they were at that point.

I always wanted to see The Harris Twins feud with each other in an angle based on "American History X". A friend and I were quoting Airheads on Facebook the other day, and I dropped an idea for a Lone Rangers stable. I have no idea how it would work, but it would give me a chance to cut a promo on a GM character saying "For all you care our matches could be Pip farting on a turnbuckle!!!!!" Hmmmm, now that I think about it, it could work as a slightly comedic, face version of Nexus. Oddly enough one of The Lone Rangers' (Cut! That can't be right! You can't pluralise The Lone Ranger can you?) hostages ended up becoming The WCW World Heavyweight Champion!
