I shit you not.
Okay, so it's for a film, and a film that'll no doubt be poor. But at least the thread title confused you for a minute there, and that's all I wanted to achieve.
UPW Teams up with Jack Black!
September 26, 2005
By Anthony Rosas
Jack Black is one of the most well know comedic actors in the world, with such hits as Shallow Hal and School of Rock just to name a few. So when he signed on to do the movie Nacho Libre, he knew where to turn for the best in professional wrestling training, Ultimate Pro Wrestling!
The movie is based on the famous 1980’s luchador Fray Tormenta. Tormenta was a priest in Mexico who began to wrestle to keep his orphanage open. Jack Black plays the luchador Tormenta and is learning the craft of professional wrestling. This movie intends to show respect to the business professional wrestling, unlike other wrestling movies in the past.
Rick Bassman and Tom Howard are heading up this project to make sure that the wrestling is taken seriously. Tom Howard, the current UPW Heavyweight Champion, has been training Jack Black for the role. Black has been training for the past few weeks, under the head trainer of Ultimate University and is making great strides. Black has done everything asked of him, and has come back for more. “Jack is taking this very seriously and is showing some potential to be a great wrestler. Who knows, maybe we will see Jack Black in UPW someday!” said Rick Bassman.
Several UPW stars will have cameos in the film itself, including Predator and Human Tornado. Bobby Eaton will also have a cameo in the film, playing a wrestler as well. “We are glad we can provide opportunities like this for our UPW superstars,” Bassman said. “These guys are going to be featured in a major feature film, and what looks to be a huge movie at that!”
Filming for Nacho Libre begins soon in Mexico. Stay tuned to UPW.com for more information on the movie as it develops, including interviews with those involved.
