In case you weren't aware, the WWE-produced The Marine franchise just recently released its sixth entry (straight to home video, as usual), starring WWE superstars The Miz, Becky Lynch and the Heartbreak Kid himself, Shawn Michaels.

Though The Miz and Lynch are screen naturals and acquit themselves fine with the (admittedly dreadful) material, HBK? Not so much.

Even ignoring the fact he's not remotely convincing as a former Marine - he can't even hold a gun properly - Michaels' line readings are howlingly wooden at all times.

His fight scene opposite Becky Lynch, however, is absurd enough that it's almost worth slogging through the entire 85 minutes for.

It's practically impossible to take HBK seriously in this role, and the harder he tries, the funnier he gets.

Now that he's secured that $3 million Saudi payday from the WWE's recent Crown Jewel PPV event, hopefully he might not have to debase himself like this again in the future.
