WHAT IF.....THE X-MEN WERE RECAST WITH...PRO WRESTLERS???

Sure, it sounds a little crazy......ok, maybe a lot crazy but, pro wrestlers are also actors as most of their lines are scripted, except for the ones who ad lib extremely well, like The Rock and Triple H.

So, here is my recasting of The X-Men movie franchise using current professional wrestlers. If you are a wrestling fan, you will know how close to spot on these castings are. If you are not, then I have included the wrestlers' names so you can look them up on Wiki and see how well they fit the castings.

Now, there are a few particulars missing but, that is due to not being able to find a suitable player. I also considered multiple players for each role. However, each role was cast taking into account each character's abilities and how well a player would be able to perform them.

I considered Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kurt Angle for Prof. X but, ultimately, went with someone who is not as over the top and can actually be believable in the role.

So, there you go, my fan re-cast of The X-Men movie franchise that provides so many possible story options for the big screen!

The only one I would change is Brock as Beast. He'd be more fitting for Juggernaut to me. And Rey would make a better Nightcrawler. Other than that this was a good read!

Finally, 'RASSLERS AS X-MEN....DONE RIGHT!

This was highly entertaining but I would have liked to have
seen pictures of the X-MEN CHARACTERS.

You started it right off perfectly with CHRIS DANIELS as
PROF-X and rounded it out with good ol' VINCE as MAGNETO!

Sum o' 'dese made me blow my teeth out laughing!

Some of these would actually work!
I mean, they surely have the "MUSKLES"!

UNDERTAKER as SINISTER...SCA-A-ARY...
BRODUS as BLOB...HI-LAR-IOUS...
JERICHO as DEADPOOL....."PRICELESS"!
LMFAO!

TASMAN.....YOU DEVIL!
lol
