Casting WWE Montreal Screwjob Movie

11. Chris Hemsworth - Triple H

Triple H was at ground zero during the Screwjob, having escorted his D-Generation X partner Shawn Michaels to the ring and, depending on which reports you believe, possibly having an intimate knowledge of the events that subsequently took place.

Trips was accosted post-match by Bret's wife Julie and, along with HBK, was also harassed by fans outside of the arena and at his hotel. The Screwjob also occurred briefly before Triple H's career skyrocketed, with D-X becoming fast fan favourites in 1998 followed by his ascent to main-eventer status the very next year.

There is one actor who is all-too-frequently compared to Triple H, largely due to their long, flowing locks (formerly in Trips' case) and their love of giant hammers.

Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, is admittedly a little older than Trips was during the Screwjob - he's 35, Trips was 28 - but he can still convincingly pass for his late-twenties, and honestly, would most fans even know that Triple H was so young at the time?

Hemsworth has the look down pat, he's obviously got the physique to play a wrestler and he can pull off a passable American accent, so this one's a slam dunk.
