The guy from Legally Blonde? Holy shit. 
What is he doing in a superhero tv show? Is Owen going to be in it too and Vince Vaughn? What happened to Vince Vaughn? I haven’t seen him in anything for years. Did he give up his acting career to become a fisherman? 
Imagine if Reese Witherspoon had got a female superhero role. She pulled off playing a badass role in 'Freeway' and might have been able to do it. It was a shame we never got a proper sequel to that with Vanessa grown up 'cause I would have loved to have seen her play an older version of that role. Dazz . Is the 'Fighting With My Family' movie really based on Paige's real life is part of it fictional 'cause I heard somewhere it was like a mockumentary of the things she had to face before she made it into the WWE. Not that I am complaining about Paige 'cause I think it is great she is getting a movie and we will be seeing that but why Paige and not Lita or Trish Stratus? Both of those are WWE legends and you think they would have got their own movies before Paige when it comes to making movies about female wrestlers. I would love to see a Lita movie. 
The film Fighting With My Family is based on the documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, which documented Paige and hey brother Zack's life and lead up to trying out for the WWE, it was made in 2012, The Rock saw the documentary on TV when he was in the UK and fell in love with it and Paige's story, as to why her and not Lita or Trish, because WWE didn't make the documentary Channel 4 over here in the UK did, Paige is from a wrestling family her mother and father are wrestlers as are her brothers, both her parents and her older brother Roy are wrestlers, her parents each run their own wrestling promotions, so theres more story there to tell and obvious prior to them making it big unlike Lita or Trish who until they became WWE superstars no one really knew who they were.
WWE could do films about their lives or careers I guess but that depends on if the ladies would even allow it, Paige's family already consented to an actual documentary about most of the film, agreeing to let The Rock make a movie about it is a no brainer.
From what I know it's mostly legit, Vaughns character is an amalgamation of multiple characters including some actual conversations Paige had with Dusty Rhodes, but from what she said a lot of the film is based on real stuff, only thing she said is the other women in WWE/NXT weren't as nice to her coming in as the film makes out but then she was also a bit of a bitch so they just softened that up a little but not by much.
But this wasn't a WWE thing it was The Rock, WWE just again went sure no problem and hitched themselves to it, in truth Trish would be a great story similar to Paige but from a different perspective instead of the goth 2nd gen "real" wrestler who achieved her dream, Trish was the fitness model who couldn't work who dedicated herself to her craft and became THE Diva for her generation and showed with hard work you can become one of the greats, Lita on the other hand well lets just say how she got in the biz isn't all that PG from what I hear, she played 2nd fiddle to Trish most her career where her success was also largely tied to the men she was associated with which includes her getting on of the bigger pushes in her life once it came out she was a no good cheating bitch...that aint PG, would make for a good porn maybe j/k kind of... 
Nah Lita was a great talent but her real life stuff I doubt is something WWE would want to document, not with how they want to sell their product, Paige joked they could do an entire trilogy based on he life after her neck injury prior to her return, but like Lita that aint PG and I could see WWE wanting to clean that shit up considerably.
But yeah out of all the stories in wrestling this is the one that got made into a feature film first that's kind of funny, I want a feature film of the greatest ribs and road stories in wrestling, like Mr Fuji getting in the car and giving the guy directions to the building to where it took them 3 hours to arrive, then on the way back Fuji drove and got them home in 5 minutes because he was fucking with the guy, or when he overnight snuck over to his neighbours and stole the engine out of his car without him knowing, some of the stories are so funny and odd they need to re-enacted on camera.
