A scathing ESPN article on "Knucklehead," the upcoming WWE Films project starring The Big Show, has come under fire not for its obvious anti-WWE Films bias but for allegedly making a mistake in calling the film an MMA-themed movie.
While the MMA claim does contradict initial reports that the film would revolve around professional wrestling, it does not contradict WWE Corporate's statement on the film: "Written by Tom Sullivan & Bear Aderhold and Adam Rifkin, “Knucklehead” follows the on-the-road adventures of a trio of misfits – a naïve giant and church orphan-turned-amateur fighter Walter Krunk (BIG SHOW); former mixed martial arts champion-turned-manager Eddie Sullivan (MARK FEUERSTEIN); and church aide-turned-chaperone, Mary O’Connor (MELORA HARDIN) – fighting their way across the south to the annual Pro-Am mixed martial arts tournament in New Orleans."
This week's ECW posted a 1.0 rating.
The post-WrestleMania edition of WWE RAW will be held at US Airways Arena. Tickets go on sale December 5.
