HHH Loses Big Job?, Austin/WrestleMania Change, RAW, Cena

Feb 19, 2009

— For several months, WWE Champion Triple H has been rumored to play the starring role in the upcoming “Thor” movie that’s set to begin filming in July. In what seems like a possible set back for Triple H, DigitalSpy.com reports that producers of the movie recently issued a casting call for the lead role looking for an actor in his 20s. The Game turns 40 years old on July 27. The casting call describes the role of Thor, the mythological god of thunder, as “physically powerful, very handsome, occasionally egotistical, petulant, and wild.”

— The USA Network was the top rated cable network in prime time for the sixth straight week, according to PWInsider.com. For the week ending February 15, USA averaged 3.22 million viewers in prime time. WWE RAW was once again their top rated show for the week.

— While visiting WrestleMania.com this morning, I noticed that Stone Cold Steve Austin, who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame during ‘Mania weekend, has been removed from WWE’s official WrestleMania 25 wallpaper. To see the new wallpaper with John Cena replacing Steve Austin, visit WWE.com.
