7. Swinging Wildly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHQE95Cs0lQ Is WWE Studios bankrolling the new Jake Gyllenhaal movie Southpaw? Or is one of the wrestlers playing a boxer he beats? Otherwise, what is the point of having the Tough Enough judges talk about Gyllenhaal getting himself into fighting shape? Its not like Billy Gunn, Booker T and Lita are experts in transforming a persons body. Theyre wrestling trainers, not personal trainers. So what does it matter what they think about Jakes workout regimen? The answer is that no one really cares, but WWE has another cross-promotion to put out there. Now if Gyllenhaal shows up on Raw or Tough Enough, thats one thing, but this is just a little much. Add this to the pile of movies WWE promotes instead of its own performers.
