Ken Jeong will Try to Kill Hulk Hogan and David Hasselhoff in New WWE Studios Comedy


The long-running feud between Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon, the one that had Hogan off WWE television for nearly a decade, came to an end earlier this year at WrestleMania, but you know he's back in their good graces when he's being put into movies. Variety reports Hogan will cameo, along with his pal David Hasselhoff, in an untitled comedy starring Ken Jeong.

Directed by Darren Grant (Diary of a Mad Black Woman), the WWE Studios feature working under the title “Untitled Celebrity Death Pool" is about everything that name implies. Jeong will play a struggling nightclub owner saddled with debt who decides to try and cash in on a celebrity death pool by killing Hasselhoff.  Other celebs are expected to appear and it's probably a safe bet other WWE superstars will find a way into the film, probably as Jeong's potential victims. How could they not put the celebrity-obsessed Miz (The Marine 3 & 4) into the mix somehow?

Truth be told when I saw that Hogan was doing a WWE Studios film my first reaction was "Oh my God they're making remaking Thunder in Paradise!!", but fortunately for us all that's not the case. Filming on the celebrity death pool flick will probably begin once Jeong wraps on Ride Along 2.
