10 WTF Moments From WWE Studios
6. There's A Third Installment Of The Marine, Starring The Miz
Nothing against The Miz, but he's not The Rock. Expecting him to carry an entire film on his shoulders, especially one that's so deathly serious, is at best a curious move by WWE Studios brass.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that "The Awesome One" wasn't anyone's first choice to be in this movie, which is why Ted DiBiase Jr. starred in the first sequel to John Cena's modest hit. (Major emphasis on "modest.") Randy Orton was supposed to star in The Marine 3, but was dropped from the project when a little digging revealed that he'd been dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corp in 1999.
Miz isn't given much of a chance to show off his charisma in the role, and the movie suffers from a severe case of miscasting. Or Miz-casting if you really want to be a douche about it.
