There's a proper good drama film to be made about Paige's life

I can see why The Rock and Stephen Merchant went the way they did. A comedy drama will bring in the masses. Plus I know it was probably given the green light before the other stuff happened.

But her life story is a good story about the trappings of fame and getting it so young like Paige did. The abusive relationship with Alberto Del Rio, her drug troubles (she can deny it but they were there), The sex tape, the trouble with WWE, her serious injuries, that she can't have children and her career ending injury. With a great actress in Florence Pugh in the role, could have been a even better film maybe not as successful.

Wasn’t this movie made by WWE? There not going to make themselves look bad or controversial in it

Definitely agree, as I said no way was that version of the film been made by WWE. Even though none of that stuff is a slight on them but they don't anything about their company to look bad. But There's a far more interesting film with Paige then the one we got that's for certain.

Yup, a real story about her life would probably be like The Wrestler mixed with Thirteen. Could be really interesting as a serious drama.
