Wrestlers like horror characters have their gimmicks. Some cheesy, some creepy. What wrestling persona (alive or dead)would you put into which horror film to replace the killer(s)? And which killer would you enjoy seeing in a wrestling match? Which wrestler would be their best opponent?
They also did a "remake" of Leprechaun, using some short wrestler as the villain. As of today, that entry is still regarded as the death of that franchise, because no sequels have been made beyond that, even though I'm fairly certain that Warwick Davis would be down to do more of those movies.
I also remember back in the days before Freddy vs. Jason, people would often speculate that the movie would feature those two fighting in an actual wrestling match. I think what we ended up getting was probably the best route to take with that, but what we did get still isn't perfect. No... if they wanted to make that movie perfect, they would've used Kane fucking Hodder. His Jason would've been great in a wrestling match. He already boxed the black dude's head off in part 8.
