Ed Harris and Amy Madigan have joined the cast of World Wrestling Entertainment’s family drama “Big Red.”
WWE star Randy Orton is featured in the film, set during the mid-1960s, about a bright 12-year-old boy whose English teacher (Harris) pairs him up on a project with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley (“Big Red”). When Andy watches Stanley fearlessly confront a school bully, a series of events is unleashed that changes the lives of the boys and their teacher.
Madigan will play the school’s principal, while Orton portrays the father of the bully who campaigns to get the teacher fired.
Chase Ellison (“Tooth Fairy”), Daniel Roebuck (“Final Destination”), Molly Parker (HBO’s “Deadwood”) and Mia Rose Frampton (ABC Family’s “Make It or Break It”) round out the cast.

in an interview with Movie FanFare, Legacy member Ted DiBiase Jr. spoke about the differences between acting and professional wrestling. Mentioning Randy and his facial expressions, here’s what he had to say:
How does DiBiase view the differences between wrestling and other forms of entertainment?
“What we do in the ring is kind of live theater,” he says. Not only are the millions at home watching but the thousands in the stadium are watching, too. So what you’re doing is over the top, and you are over-exaggerating. So you have to play to this huge audience and to the people up at the top. But then you have to have these moments in between when the camera is on you and you have to tell a story, when the camera is on your face.
“The perfect example is Randy Orton in our company. His facial expressions. They love to make you hate him. He just gets so sinister-looking at moments, and people say, ‘That guy is so evil.’”
Also, in an interview with the Toronto Sun Ted spoke about himself and Randy testing their skills.
In the wrestling ring, DiBiase is also a rising star, with WWE teasing a feud with Legacy stablemate Randy Orton.
“Randy and I always want to test our skills against the best. I want to be WWE champion just as bad as he does. I want to make an impact and make a name for myself.”

Ted DiBiase, Jr. was on ESPN Radio in Los Angeles on Wednesday promoting “The Marine 2.” During the interview which you can listen to HERE or HERE Ted talked about what Randy thought of the movie and more. This is what he had to say :
Guy 1: Now they selected Ted Dibiase jr. to be in Marine 2 and just out of nowhere they just thought you had the look I guess or whatever.
Guy 2: Well he did a good job Michael! He went in and he nailed it.
Guy 1: Yeah, he actually got it done. What about COdy Rhodes, your partner and Randy Orton your other partner part of Legacy. Are they giving you a hard time? Wondering like “Hey why didn’t they pick us?
Ted: Well, it would have been hard to blare out Cody’s lisp. (Laughter) I’m just kidding, I hope he’s not listening right now. I don’t think there’s jealously. well actually Randy Orton one time told me, he was like “This is probably the only time I’ll ever tell you this but, I am jealous.” He saw the movie with me. When we did SummerSlam he came and viewed it at the director’s house with me, and he was like “That’s really good.” If anybody would have told me the truth if something sucked it would have been Randy Orton. So that was like the stamp of approval, you know? He was like “You did a great job and I’m jealous that you’ve done a movie and I haven’t.” I wouldn’t be surprised to see Randy in a movie.

Last year, Mark Cuban feuded with Kenyon Martin’s mom. Next up: Dusty Rhodes’ son?
The Mavericks’ owner, who will host World Wrestling Entertainment’s RAW on Monday at American Airlines center, shrugged off a challenge by up-and-coming WWE star Cody Rhodes on Thursday. Rhodes is the son of Austin-born Virgil Runnels, better known as WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Dusty “The American Dream” Rhodes.
After being notified that Cuban would like some payback against Rhodes’ ally Randy Orton for a 2003 “RKO” knockout move, Rhodes suggested Cuban step into the ring. Rhodes, Orton and Ted DiBiase Jr., all second-generation wrestlers, form the WWE’s top villainous trio “The Legacy.”
“We’ve had some guest hosts like Bob Barker who couldn’t get in the ring, but Mark Cuban is a pretty active guy,” Rhodes said. “I suggest that if he wants to get some payback on [Orton], he bring a couple of Cowboys or Mavericks to the ring on Monday and put his money where his mouth is. We’ll have an old-fashioned six-man tag match.”
Cuban’s response: “What makes them think I would need any help? Orton got lucky one time. It won’t happen again.”
As guest host of RAW, Cuban will be entitled to make matches and get involved in story lines for the show at AAC on Monday.

Former WWE Diva and Diva of the Decade, Trish Status recently did a with Desi Live where she was asked who she thought was the best wrestler in pro wrestling right now, and this is what she had to say.
Interviewer: Besides yourself, the best wrestler in pro wrestling today? Trish: I most enjoy Randy Orton right now. I think he’s really charismatic. I really enjoy his matches. He is the most wonderful seller, like, the way he sells a move is just money. I’m enjoying his stuff right now.
Interviewer: Do you think he could be a good guy though? I don’t know if he has like, a personality like The Rock or anybody. Trish: I think he could. I think he’ll get so over as a heel, that it’ll just be a natural thing that a heel turn into a a really good guy. And I think he’ll be good at it.
You can listen to her interview here: @YouTube. And I would also like to thank Randy-Orton.com visitor, Kel for bringing this to my attention.

Though this is a few months old it’s still relatively new to me, and I’m sure to some of you as well. Randy shows alot more personality in this interview than previous ones I’ve seen and it really is a good interview. I suggest you guys watch.
I can only wish every man lived by the same saying Randy does: “Happy wife, happy life.” because it’s a good one! :p
