(PREVIOUSLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE)
Eamonn has left Earth to join the Galactic G-men. A police made of Being from other realities and Planets, in actual fact it is a League Of Heroes. Using their Exploits to won the Hearts and Minds of Millions of Sapient Worlds. When we Last Left off. Eamonn was on a Desert Planet. Hunting a Gorgon and inadvertently woke the She-beast.
Hiding behind a hoodoo, letting off a girlish scream, Eamonn turned to fire a few shots from his laser pistol. He just hits air. He reaches his Comm-Link by Pressing button on his visor.
This is Lt. Bermingham of Earth, I have lost Visual on Gorgon. Requesting Pickup.
"REQUEST DENIED! PROCEED AS INSTRUCTED! "
...Shit....
Around Eamonn all he heard were Hissing and Mocking Laughter. He turned to see The Gorgon. Using it's tail like a chair it posed like it was waiting for Eamonn to finish his call. she then waved like a friendly Girl. It was supposed to be disarming. But the tress of Snaked Headed Hair coiling making jabs at Eamonn with their Fangs, was Disarming Enough.
hi there Terran....Aren't You Lost? she asked seductively, a blue Substance pooling behind her lips.
"ERR...I supposes any attempt on Conversation or Confrontation will Not end well?"
"MMMMM.......Very Clever for A Human...It's so long I had to work for a meal" she said as she tackled Eamonn to the Ground. Getting closer to the Prone Human she inhaled his scent. and then got up in terror. Her snakes in confused Disarray."
"You...REEK OF AN APEX PREDATOR...." Her attitude changed when he opened to the Cognitive Void.
"NOOOOO! I WILL NOT GO BACK I WILL NOT BE HUNTED, PLEASE YOUR APEX IS A LIAR! SEEK OUT THE OTHERS! FIND THE PATTERN BEFORE IT DOOMS YOUR PLANET!
(The Portal sucked her back into the Void, causing a heavy breeze that took to Eamonn's Poncho.
"And what the hell was that all about?"
AND NOW, OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!
This Month Both of My World's Combine Once more as I review A film about Wrestling, Produced by, and Featuring, Dwayne Johnson, A former Wrestler in the story of a another Former Wrestler.
Saraya-Jade Bevis, Professionally known as Paige, was WWE's First British Women's champion, as well as the 1st champion to be born in the 90S. She is a second generation wrestler and this is the feel good story to that point in time that she won the belt from AJ Lee for her first reign!
...Then in the Year this film was released, Paige career was ended after taking an unprotected drop kick to the back of her head, her sex-tape was released, she was fired from her cushy on-screen general Manager role because of it, and went on an abusive coke-fueled affair with former wrestler Alberto El Patron, and Now....
Our cover is a group shot of our 6 key Players. With Florence Pugh as Paige, Leaning against the Ropes and turnbuckle, Oozing confidence, with the other 5 standing behind her. For those saying this could be Better if there was a crowd behind her, this is fine, this film is about her rise to stardom, not as her as a star. Also I like the Font used for the Title Logo. It reminds me of the old school wrestling and Boxing posters. One thing i don't like is the Director. It's the Unfunny Giant, Stephan Merchant. So will this film be filed under the Unfunny Films of Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant? Well,Let's ring the bell, Son!
5 seconds in and the Producer has a mandate! See we don't open with Paige. We open with Zack Bevis as a child watching the Rock and fawning over how great the Rock is.
First film he ever Produced is a wrestling Biopic not about himself, but he still managed to make it a vanity Project. Jesus Christ.
2 things they get wrong in this scene, Young Zack is holding a toy version of the current wwe belt, even though if this is supposed to be the late 90's, early 2000s. The wwf title was the "Eagle Wing" Belt. Two. A young Saraya comes in to change the Channel to watch Charmed, implying later on that Her ring Name comes from Rose McGowen's Character.
Paige, the name WWE gave her, Was because Originally the character was going to be a hacker who caused Distractions on the big Screen before she Debut and her name was going to be Paige Webb
GET IT? "WEBPAGE"? DO YOU GET IT? DO GET IT? HUH? HUH? DO YOU GET IT?
For Comedic effect, The Bevis/Knight Family are a family Of Wrestlers. In Real Life, Ricky Knight is thug who washes his hands with Child Labour Laws and has put all his children in the ring for profit before they could Shave, or in the case of Paige, Shave her Legs! Ricky even had a match over Legitimately Scamming Money from another Son and ended up in a bloody fight that put both of them on Tag!
So young Saraya has a match with Zack (whose in Drag as a pink Power Ranger) in a hall with 40 Drunk Randos, Flash forward 10 years and Saraya is now wrestling her mother, Saraya(SNR)
Yes I know it's confusing, but I'm not calling her Paige until her wwe Years. So Saraya-Jade/Britney/Paige (Florence Pugh) is taking hits from Saraya/Jools (Lena Headly), as Ricky (Nick Frost) tries to run in to help Saraya SNR, Until Zodiac Zack (Jack Lowden) comes out, it's all framed as Hokey, Rick even makes the Scooby Doo "Ruh-Roh" sound when Zack jumps through the Curtain and poses like a superhero.
Packing Up a Ring into a White Van, The Knight Family ring the office's of WWE to Inquire about the Audition Tapes Ricky sent of his children, to No Reply.
It's A Hard Struggle, this is a Wrestling scene in Middle Class Norwich. Which is like saying the Rap Scene in Mostly White Ireland. Just because it's 1% of the people represented, Doesn't mean it's not There!
Zack sees a Drug-dealer and chases him down, But Not out of Civic Duty, No, He's on the Payroll! He doesn't help his Character a scene ago either when he Picks up a Bunch of Children who they pay to set up the ring, in lieu of Payment for Wrestling lessons. Saraya, who's passing out programs is insulted by girls her age who foreshadow her brother "Who went Mental and was sent to jail"
While Ricky and A Black Big Daddy Rip-Off do really bad Slapstick, Paige convinces a Blind student to take part. In the Back Ricky finds out the Promotion is in the red. If they have more shows like the ones they had recently. Ricky will go back to Burglary. Jools says she won't let Ricky go back to Thieving....HE'S TOO FAT TO FIT INTO THE WINDOWS! HAVE ZACK DO IT INSTEAD!
And that would have being funny, if it weren't True.
Well, it looks like Zack won't be going through no window either, as a blond girl, Takes Zack to behind the building with Saraya to tell them something in a speechless scene. Saraya Hugging them both and the Girl holding her Belly and it's pretty obvious what was said! A scene cut to a Kitchen and a well dressed Zack tells Ricky that he wants to make a good impression with Courtney's Parents (The Dad being The Unfunny Giant!) So No Booze, no Swearing!
....Until Courtney's Mother makes the Cardinal Sin...Calling Wrestling "FAKE"! Zack Changes the Subject and Courtney's mother asks Ricky and Jools how they met. It's a story of Assault, Suicidal Thoughts, Gunrunning and Coke that landed Them both in 8 years of prison. To the mortification of Courtney's Parents. The phone goes off and Paige answers it. She recognizes the Number and puts it on speaker. WWE has Gotten the tapes and want to offer Zach and Britney jobs. Zack is gobsmacked and lost for words. Courtney seeing a future for her Baby, accepts on his behalf. The voice tells them to come to the smackdown taping in London's O2 stadium in November for tryouts, though Saraya needs a new name as they already have a Britney. Courtney's Mother doesn't even know what "WWE" is, though understandable if you only ever heard of it called WWF.
So Paige and Zak Explain what wwe and "Tryouts" are. WWF's brand of wrestling is "Sports Entertainment" and Like a Sport it's A fitness Evaluation and on the Entertainment side, It's an Auditon! This Brings up Saraya's and Zack's brother, Roy, who after failing his, took to Drink, and got into a fight where he put a man in coma throwing a lump of Tarmac at him! Funny if this wasn't a true story! Of course Courtney's Mother is still unsure on the family her daughter will marry into.
We cut to London's 02 stadium, where as part of the Biannual UK tour, Friday night smackdown is being filmed. Of course, Dwayne "The Producer" and his Big Johnson is here to put himself into a cameo, where Zack and Saraya ask for his advice and tells him to be aggressive and roasts them "Rock-Style" calling Paige Twillight and Zack "Harry Potter". But Rock had a point, his persona is nothing more than Dwayne Johnston, Magnified to the NTH Degree. The crowd knows who's real and who's not, even if you are playing a gimmick, Putting your heart into it also works. He's interrupted by a voice telling Rock that they need to change into their Gear. This voice belongs to Shane McMahon (Vince Vaughn)
Shane is the Son of Vince McMahon, the Chairman of WWE. Shane's Official title is not Well Defined, He's being head of Marketing, R and D, And if he happens to be in town, he leads the Tryouts. He also wrestles from Time to Time
....LEADING TO THAT ONE TIME IN THE SAUDI PROPAGANDA SHOW, WHERE HE INTERJECT HIS NAME IN AND WON THE TITLE OF BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD.
A Remarkable Feat for someone who sweats bullets just by doing the Ali Shuffle!
In a speech to all the Contenders. Shane tells them you want need one more thing than talent. You need the ambition to be famous. If you see yourself as the wwe champion. as an Action figure, you belong in WWE.
The Newly Christened Paige, comes of as timid, but she still has a mouth on her to call Col. McSweatyBollox (hi Cultaholic!) a Tosser!
Now it's time for the Tryout, AS There is 10 wrestlers, They are put in a mock 5 on 5 tag match. And as the only women, Paige has to try harder. Shane is not Impressed by what her sees, until Paige sells for Zack, including taking Zack's finisher, the Zack Attack, a Foot Facelock Neckbreaker, with a Leg Catch.
That move will be known as another name, but that's a story for a fortnight's time! Join me in September when we will be finishing this review.
ONLY ON BOGGERBOXOFFICE!
