Pro Wrestlers in Movies: The Bad and The Ugly - Suburban Commando and Money Plane

In this riotous solo episode, Ryan Etherington steps into the ring to tackle the misfires of pro wrestlers transitioning to the silver screen. Taking a close (and cringe-worthy) look at Hulk Hogan’s out-of-place antics in Suburban Commando and the chaotic absurdity of Edge in Money Plane, Ryan explores why these films failed to capitalize on the natural charisma and larger-than-life personas of their stars. With sharp critique and plenty of laughs, Ryan unpacks how even the biggest wrestling icons can’t save a bad script or misguided direction. Whether you’re a wrestling fan or just love a good cinematic trainwreck, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why did they do this?” You can send any questions about this episode and any general movie questions to [email protected] and we will try to answer yours questions on the pod!
