And for what role? It strikes me Jakes story would make one hell of a dramatized miniseries, starting with his childhood and ending with his resurrection in pro wrestling. But who would play his dad? How about Some of his best opponents like Ricky Stemaboat or Rick Rude? And of course, DDP. I think it would make one hell of a watch.

I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan would make a spectacular Jake, myself.

I always thought the guy who played Waingro in Heat (Kevin Gage) looked like Jake.
As for Rick Rude, why not Rami Malek with his Freddy Mercury look. lol.

Liev Schreiber as Jake.
It would a f***ing tragedy of a movie, like more than the wrestler.
I’m currently reading Jim Ross’ book, and everything about Grizzly Smith matches Jake’s stories. Smith openly preyed on twelve year old girls. Bill Watts and Leroy McGuirk lost the Texarkana town because Smith abused a girl there. JR resented Watts for keeping Smith around despite being a pedophile.
Grizzly Smith also molested his own children. I don’t know what actor could pull off playing such a disgusting monster.

Wasn't The Wrestler basically about him (with some Flair mixed in)?

I so want that Macho Man biopic to be made with him in it. It'd be amazing, but I think Joe is almost aged out of the role.

Daniel Day Lewis as Grizzly. He'd channel something fierce for it.

Doesn’t Vince Vaughn play him in the page movie? Really sounds like pretty solid casting

JR said that he didn’t slept in two days after interviewing him for the pick your poison documentary. Jake’s crack addiction got so bad that in a drugged induced rampage, he pissed on a bottle and then drank it...

I'm not sure that drinking a bottle of pee is the best example of an out of control drug problem, especially given all the other terrible things Jake did for and because of drugs. The guys on Jackass drank pee, and most of them were just stupid. That Bear dude drank pee for a TV show. Some people just enjoy drinking pee, for that matter.

What about Hugh Jackman? Guy is a big wrestling fan and one of the best and most actors in the world.
