Get ready for the WWE to do another low-quality product tie-in! And with The Flintstones, no less. A cartoon I haven’t even heard of in 20 years. Despite that, the idea has potential – and immediately loses all of it as soon as you start watching it.
This is a weird one folks. It feels like I’m watching an episode of Flintstones with characters that don’t belong there. For starters, Fred is voiced differently from what I remember him sounding like. But ok, I can get by with that. The WWE characters sound so differently voiced. Cena can’t act, at all. It sounds like a high school drama student reading his lines with 190% of the emotion he should be inflecting in his voice. Mr. McMagma is pretty cool.
Punk fans will enjoy this. Also, Barney is fucking him here.
It never looks like this, so I don’t know why they act like its going to.
Four things of note:
1.It’s pretty funny that Daniel Bryan gets to be on the DVD cover as if he has a very big role in the movie, when actually he’s only in ONE scene overall.
2.The two times CM Punk was sent flying into the seafood cart is kind of a homage to the Back to the Future trilogy when Biff crashes his car twice into a truck full of manure, and his great-grandad Mad Dog is knocked silly by Marty into a cart full of horse apples.
3.During the scene where Fred was sorting out the wrestlers’ costumes, The Undertaker ends up wearing pink underpants and then shows his hungry bum to Fred and Barney, who both cringe.
4.There was a rumour that Bill Goldberg was also going to appear in this movie as “Goldboulder”, because prior to the film’s release, IMDB listed his name on the cast and crew page, but after its release, his name was taken off that list.
