Many big stars have appeared on WWE programming to promote their upcoming movies/shows but I don't think they have come much bigger than Hugh Jackman. The Aussie actor who has played Wolverine four (soon to be five) times on the big screen will appear on Raw to promote his fighting robot flick Real Steel
"In two weeks, I'll be climbing into the ring on RAW to hang with the Superstars and give the WWE Universe an exclusive first look at my new movie, Real Steel, don't miss it,"
Monday Sep 19th's show takes place in Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. I'm a big Wrestling fan myself, although I had kind of given up on it over the last few years. But recent developments with a wrestler named CM Punk have made it well worth watching again. You might be surprised at how many ways pro Wrestling and comics cross over too. A huge number of Wrestlers (or "Superstars", their given moniker in WWE) are big comic book fans and their have even been WWE comic books featuring characters like The Undertaker and Mankind.
Anyway,
Real Steel looks pretty bad let's be honest. But you never know, it could be dumb fun. Jackman is pretty watchable in anything I think, and we also have Evangeline Lilly (Kate From
Lost) to look at. It will be interesting to see how the footage screened on
Raw goes down. You can also expect Jackman to get into some sort of disagreement with a Wrestler, maybe even mix it up a bit in the ring. And there is always the possibility he will talk about
The Wolverine too so tune in.
