who would you cast in a movie based on Vince Mcmahon?

Question

Yes i know he is alive, obviously!

Last time i was wondering who could play Vince Mcmahon in a movie and Al Pacino came to mind ? This would be my movie cast and movie name. Remember only based on people who influenced him for the good or for the bad .

" Wrestling for War "

Starring Al Pacino as VINCE MCMAHON

Ben Stiller in his first serious role..... as Eric Bishoff

Gary Busey as Ted Turner

Hulk Hogan as Himself

John Lovits as Paul Heyman

with small allstar cameos from , Dave Chappelle as Thedore Long, Woody Harrelson as Jeff Jarret and Jerry Jarret. And Mike Myers as Shane Mcmahon.


Who would you cast to play the roles of these wrestlers i just mentioned? First Vince Mcmahon, then Eric bishof, Ted Turner etc.

Answer 1

well I wouldn't do it live action, i'd probably do it animated. also Bischoff, Turner and Heyman would not be main characters. Bischoff and Heyman would be characters but Heyman would be the enemy also it would be more like a musical than a movie (hence the reason it would be animated if i did it) and there would be a lot of backstory

however if i did do it live action this is who i'd cast just a few not the entire cast list

Vince McMahon - Robin Williams
Linda McMahon - Bette Midler
Stephanie McMahon - Winona Ryder
Shane McMahon - Owen Wilson
Triple H - Ewan McGregor
HBK - Liam Neeson
Stone Cold Steve Austin - Dan Castellaneta (Voice of Homer J Simpson)

Answer 2

I like the casting for the most part, but there are a few changes I'd make.

I'd give the role of Eric Bischoff to John Travolta. They both have that really creepy cheshire cat grin, and Travolta strikes me as a better pick than Ben Stiller

Busey as Turner is PRICELESS! I'd pay to see that.

Even though John Lovits looks evil enough to play Paul Heyman, he doesn't have the dictator charisma of Paul E. I'd replace him with Danny Devito. He and Paul have a similar build, and I could see Devito having a better chance of moving a crowd. I'd also consider Bill Murrey for the role after watching King Pin

Theodor Long would be played by Sam Jackson, I'll give you Harrelson for maybe Jerry Jarrett, maybe David Spade or Jake Busey for Jeff. Shane's a tough cookie to cast, but Mike Myers wouldn't be my pick. I'd rather see Myers as Bischoff actually. I keep thinking Luke Wilson for Shane, but only for lack of a better idea. Maybe John Cusack?

I'd also cast Jeff Bridges for a Dude Love cameo and Joe Rogan as Vince Russo, Juliette Lewis for Steph, and Triple H as himself

Answer 3

Jack Nicholason would be perfect to play Vince McMahon, intense with just enough insanity.
