Although many competitors often search for opportunities within the film industry either during or after their time within the ring, some performers prefer to only persist with skilled wrestling, including AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page, who told “Bleacher Report,” that he’s never considered the potential of becoming a Hollywood star.
“It’s probably not something I’ve seriously entertained,” Page explained. “Like with any opportunity, I’m not only going to shut the thought of it down, nevertheless it’s just not something I’ve seriously entertained or where my focus is. My focus really all the time has been and still is on being knowledgeable wrestler. That’s my profession. That’s my one and only real ambition when it comes to work. To not shut it out completely, nevertheless it’s not something I’ve ever considered.”
MJF has continued to star in among the most high profile projects in Hollywood since joining AEW, as he was recently featured in Netflix’s “Joyful Gilmore 2,” while also playing the role of Lance Von Erich in “The Iron Claw” two years ago. As for Joe, the tv series “Twisted Metal” has quickly develop into one of the crucial anticipated shows on Paramount+, with the second season of this system having just released last month. Several women on AEW’s roster also made their debut on the massive screen last 12 months, as Toni Storm, Britt Baker and Kamille were all featured within the drama film “Queen of the Ring.”
