10 WTF Moments From WWE Studios
2. WWE Works With Oscar-Winning Producer Of The Artist For French Film
Remember that thing about how there's no room for subtlety or artisanship within WWE Studios? Well, it turns out that's not entirely true, because they managed to swindle the French Oscar-winning producer of The Artist into a working with them on a movie about lady wrestlers.
Don't worry though, they found a way to completely labotomize any artistic integrity from their collaboration. Les reines du ring (Wrestling Queens) is certainly not The Wrestler. Hell, it's not even Ready to Rumble.
It's a stupid movie. An insultingly stupid movie fans that actually makes legitimate wrestling fans embarrassed to be represented by a movie like Wrestling Queens. It's doubly insulting considering that the King of Wrestling, Vince McMahon, is the one shoving out the cash to put this dreck into circulation.
The story treats the very concept of women becoming wrestlers as a novelty to be "explored" in the same way Weekend at Bernie's explores the concept of a dead guy throwing a party.
