WWESure, the majority of WWE Studios productions absolutely suck, but still, youd think that the WWE, considering how proud they proclaim to be about their cinematic efforts, would be more than happy to include their movies on the WWE Network. Throughout the decades, whether known as Shane Distribution Company, WWF Films or WWE Studios, the WWE has been responsible for many a movie and so it seems foolish not to utilise these movies as part of the Network. What, is the WWE worried that this might interfere with the booming home release sales of classics like The Chaperone, Knucklehead or Bending the Rules? The films are what they are, but Im sure theres a load of people out there whod love to watch No Holds Barred out of curiosity or to see if its as bad they remembered it the first time around (it totally, totally is) or who get a kick out of seeing John Cena mentoring a high school wrestler in Legendary. Obviously some of the WWE-produced movies are part of deals involving other studios or distributors, but youd surely think that something could be worked out in order to get these films on the Network. And whilst the majority really are stinkers, efforts like The Condemned and See No Evil 2 are genuinely entertaining, whilst kid-friendly fodder like Scooby-Doo! Wrestlemania Mystery and the far-more-enjoyable-than-it-should-be-for-an-adult Stone Age Smackdown are always going to prove popular.
