Michael Luisi, President, WWE Studios had the following to say about the project….

I'm a big fan of both WWE and the Flintstones, so this sounds awesome.

I'm still waiting for my WWE/Scooby Doo cartoon.

ReplyDeleteI fully expect a background HHH cameo at the rock quarry, using ol' sledgie.
ReplyDeleteNot to be a dick, but why? I doubt I'll go out of my way to see this, but it seems harmless enough.
ReplyDeletevaguely amazed punk's in this. unless he just signs off and someone else voices him. I wonder if his contract with this states how many massive eyerolls they throw in?
ReplyDeleteThis leads to the important question of... how did losers like Fred and Barney pull top shelf ass like Wilma and Betty? I WANT TO KNOW HOW DAMN IT!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they promised CM Punkrock the title.
ReplyDeletehe'll be best in the quarry, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteBedrock IWC: "Cenastone and Punkrock AGAIN? PUSH NEW STARS, MCMAGMA!"
ReplyDeleteNot until 2015, huh? John Cena is going to be on top for another two years. =(
ReplyDeleteAnyway possible both Scrappy and Miz can go the way of Old Yeller?
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong I really want to see this movie? CM Punkrock, awesome!
ReplyDeleteAfter the Fruity Pebbles crossover, how was this NOT going to happen?
ReplyDeleteNah, I see what you mean. I feel the same way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is how in the world Ryback isn't in this.
ReplyDeleteThe dude already comes across like a Bedrock native.
You're right. I just don't like this type of cross promotion. I just wish they would concentrate on making older Fans like myself enjoy the product.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you hate it so much? It seems like something stupid and fun for the kiddies and who knows, may have a couple of funny bits for us adults. I doubt it'll interfere with RAW save for showing a bunch of commercials for the movie. I don't know how old you are but as a kid I loved Hulk Hogans Rock and Wrestling. So I can't be too pissed about kids today getting a WWE type themed cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI get what you are saying. As an older fan, I feel left out.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock n' Wrestling era has officially returned.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time Warner Brothers realize there are other characters in the Hanna Barbara library besides Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry. And most importantly, Seth Macfarlane is not involved in any way, shape, or form.
ReplyDeleteCan we get a Bedrock Brawl match at the next PPV?
ReplyDelete2:1 odds Santino will dress as a Flintstone.
Joel Gertner said years ago that people called him Fred Flintstone.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm looking forward to the Best of MSG DVD coming out soon. WWE usually puts out some good stuff on home video. Outside of the poor product they produce now, I think they do a pretty good job of creating content for old timers like us.
ReplyDeleteThreadjack! Although, if this is true, it is entirely appropriate to put it here:
ReplyDelete"WWE continues being the world leader in use of new technology.
This Monday night on RAW, John Cena and Ryback will engage in the first ever Tout Debate. RAW will kick off with Jerry "The King" Lawler in the ring acting as moderator. The King will Tout the opening question live in the ring in front of the entire WWE Universe. Throughout the night, Ryback and Cena will have two minutes each to tout answers to King's question. A short time later, they will have 30 seconds each to respond to each other's Touts. This will occur three times throughout the night, with King touting a question live in the ring each time. The WWE Universe will be able to Tout their own responses to Cena and Ryback's answers. Some of these may even be shown on the air.
The fourth and final segment of the debate will take place in the ring. However, members of the WWE Universe have no reason to feel left out. With use of the WWE App, the WWE Universe will vote on the final debate question.
Come join WWE as they continue finding new ways to utilize this technology!

/massive facepalm
Got to love how WWE claims to continue finding new ways to utilize Tout.
ReplyDeleteSo not mentioning it at all for the last two months is a new way to utilize Tout?
I wonder what Bedrock's TNA equivalent would be.
ReplyDeleteRock Vegas, featuring RVD as Stony Curtis.
ReplyDeleteI would buy all Ryback's merchandise if his rebuttal is beating Cena with a lectern.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, these clowns better stay away from the Jetsons. That show was great.
ReplyDeleteTune into the Flinstones in Viva Rock Vegas to find out!
ReplyDeleteOh great, more Raw Roulette.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I can't WAIT for the Monday Night Open Mic on this one.
ReplyDeleteGodalmighty.
ReplyDeleteI have a distinct feeling Ryback's Rebuttals (now THAT should be a segment by itself - imagine the hilarity of Ryback answering his critics for eating too much) will be compared to Scott Steiner vs. Test. That alone might be worth .7 Jake on the Screwed-Up Interview scale.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things I bet we see in this movie:
ReplyDelete1) HHHStone uses one of Mr. Slate's quarry pits to bury new talent.
2) Mr. Slate goes to tell Fred, "Flintstone, YOU'RE FIR-" "WAIT! WAIT! WAIT" interjects Mr. McMagma. "Youre doing it all wrong - allow me to show you. FLINTSTONE, YOURRRRRRRRE FIRRRRRREEEEDDDD!"
And, oh, BTW, what would they call The Rock? The Rockrock?
Cenastone's t-shirt will say RISE ABOVE SLATE.
ReplyDelete*cough*
You joke. But it probably will.
ReplyDelete"RECORD RATINGS, HERE WE COME!"
ReplyDelete(Says no one with a brain.)
I'll take things that embarrass you in wrestling for $500.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad he won't just refuse to participate, screaming for Cena to just fight like a man. Why is the vengeful psychopath using his iPhone to issue threats? I thought they were going in the right direction with the ambulances.
ReplyDeleteBecause when I want to show someone how much of a badass I am, I use my iPhone and the new WWE app! Screw that noise of steel chairs and kendo sticks!
ReplyDeleteAJ Gravels?
ReplyDeleteStonemoa Joe?
Austone Aries?
I thought Seth McFarland had the rights to the Flintstones.
ReplyDeleteIf he does....we have to kill him. For the benefit of animators, and all their fans.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, we need another debate involving Scott Steiner. The wrestling world has been without one for too long.
ReplyDeleteThat era had Orton, Snuka, DiBiase and Neidhart.
ReplyDeleteWait...
If they could set up a Scott Steiner v. Ultimate Warrior Tout debate on a PPV, I'd buy it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not only are they doing things like this for the kiddies, they have to keep their own product kiddie friendly so they get the opportunity to do things like things like this for the kiddies.

Don't forget the evil Aces & Slates!
It was the olden days, you just clubbed a dame on the back of her head and dragged her back to the cave. The better question (if you remember the 1994 movie and SNL Waynes World), who's bright idea was it to have the #7 babe of all time played by Rosie O'Donnell?
ReplyDeleteAs much hate as the movie gets, I was happy to see that they acknowledged how much everyone hated Scrappy Doo.
ReplyDeleteCM Punk is totally cool with the completely stupid wrestling kid shit.
ReplyDeleteYeah he's pretty into kayfabe, but he's always been cool with kid fans, I think the only fans he doesn't dig are the crazed rednecks and the super smarks who'd call him Phil and stuff. I expect him to heel it up to all hell.
That's been indefinitely delayed due to his schedule.
ReplyDeletePlus, he seems like the type who would get a kick out of being in a Flintstones cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone invents a time machine to pull 1993 Jerry Lawler into today's WWE universe so he can crack some jokes about how Stu and Helen Hart should be in the movie too
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's pretty dorky.
ReplyDeletePeople are taking this way too seriously. Who is this harming?
and all the women later regretted it.
ReplyDeleteIronically enough, The Rock will be called The Stone. And Stone Cold will be Rock Cold Steve Austone. It's all a rich tapestry.
ReplyDeleteHate on his style all you want but looking at the few times he's done Fred's voice, he has it down pat.
ReplyDeleteFunFact - Mae Young dated Fred Flintstone before he met Wilma.
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteHogan used to have the perfect name:
ReplyDeleteTerry Boulder
Why don't they just have Cena and Ryback play each other in WWE '13, then they could upload it to youtube under the title "WWE RAW 6/3/13 full show" and beat all the youtube kiddies to the punch
ReplyDeleteThis has wrestlecrap written all over it. I look forward too the trainwreck!
