In a WWE blog entry, JBL comments on the movie The Wrestler:
“A lot of people ask me about The Wrestler. I thought it was awesome and extremely well written. This was the business I broke into many years ago. However, that business has changed – and for the better. In the last six months, I have had MRIs, concussion tests, HIV test, trauma test, drug test and even my cholesterol tested – which was the only one I failed. This business in WWE is really a corporate environment these days – it has changed for the better. I am glad for my old days, I wouldn’t change a thing. But the WWE has done so much to clean up the abuse that the business as I knew it was so known for. All that being said, I loved the movie. Even with all the negative stereotypes in the movie, this was a part of what I did to get to WWE and it was fun to watch. A little scary to watch, but fun.”

Dwayne Johnson’s latest movie — a film adaptation of the popular DC Comics’ Shazam! where Johnson portrays Black Adam — was set to begin this summer. However, the word we’re getting is that the screenplay originally chosen to be used has been dismissed from the project and John August — the screenwriter for the project — posted on his blog that he believes the project is dead, mainly believing due to the success of The Dark Knight, Warner Brothers is looking for a much darker project, which is weird having in mind the success of of the Marvel comics movies as of late.
