The Batista Bomb

The Batista Bomb

It’s not uncommon for the WWE to call on a former wrestler to headline Wrestlemania. Nor is breaking with tradition to have someone unexpected return at the Royal Rumble and win the chance to face the champion at the WWE’s biggest night of the year. It’s also quite common for the company to take advantage of any current or former superstar’s success outside of the ring in an attempt to draw a bit of that spotlight on the sports entertainment company during it’s big night.

With all that said it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Dave Batista returned to the WWE given both his upcoming role as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel Entertainment’s Guardians of the Galaxy this summer and his past associations with current heads of the company Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. What is surprising is how thoroughly the WWE has managed to botch every aspect of Batista’s return which leaves the company, only a few weeks removed from the Royal Rumble, in need of serious damage control.

WWE Superstar is one of Canada’s fiercest Bounty Hunters

  • Title: Bounty Hunters
  • IMDB: link

bounty-hunters-dvdOriginally entitled Bail Enforcers, the low budget Canadian action film stars former WWE wrestler Trish Stratus as Jules, a bounty hunter who works part-time at a strip club (I swear I’m not making this up). We meet Jules dressed in a school girl costume in the middle of a Mexican stand-off as the movie opens.

Things go downhill from there as we flashback to the events that led Jules, her partner (Boomer Phillips), and her boss (Frank J. Zupancic) to let one bounty (Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll) go free in order to stare down a gangster (Joe Rafla) who offers the team $1,000,000 to buy the group’s latest prisoner, a mob informant (Enrico DiFede) with a $100,000 bounty on his head.

The film’s story hinges on a dilemma that isn’t really even made as the group has a falling out during the hand-off and spends most of the movie trying to figure out what to do after pissing off a mobster with psychotic killers (Andrea James LuiChristian BakoRichard Ha) in his employ.
