Kevin Nash’s Movie Role, Tommy Dreamer’s Promotion, More

Jun 25, 2012

— Kevin Nash recently spoke about being cast in the new film Magic Mike. Here is an excerpt… “They are always looking at me as a wrestler, (but) they just looked at me as a possible cast member for ‘Magic Mike.’ That is not normally the case. Number one: it’s hard because in Hollywood there aren’t that many 6-foot-and-above leading men. I saw one of the ‘Magic Mike’ trailers on TV the other day, and I’m on the right hand side behind a couple of the guys. I’m a big dude. When you see me on screen with these guys, who are not small guys, it’s crazy. When you are 6-foot-10 and 300 pounds, you are just a big human being. You are what you are. To say you get type casted, it’s kind of hard not to. I think I have a degree of articulation. It just takes a minute to realize I’m just not an ogre. I can be sarcastic, but if you can get past that. I have never done anything to another human being with malice. People that don’t like me just don’t know me.”

— The new House of Hardcore promotion is owned and being run by Tommy Dreamer. The promotion will debut October 6th with a show in Poughkeepsie, NY at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. Poughkeepsie, NY will be the promotion’s home base and more details will be revealed in the first week on July. The phrase “Live in the Now” seen in the video was a slogan for local tag team The Now, featuring Vik Dalishus and Hale Collins. They both teamed and feuded in Northeast Wrestling and both will be involved with the new promotion. Here is the teaser video that was posted last night…
