WWE stars of the past such John Cena, The Rock and Dave Bautista have all found themselves a career in Hollywood, with other current professional wrestlers such as Becky Lynch and MJF recently getting involved in the industry, and now another name has expressed interest in shifting from the ring to the big screen.

Last month, Saints appeared in Season 3 of The CW’s “Wild Cards,” and during a recent interview with “KRON 4,” the former NXT Champion stated that he envisions an acting career for himself after he’s finished with professional wrestling.

“My body won’t be able to do this forever. So, for those who hate hearing it, yes, I want to get into acting. Who cares? I love acting. I loved “Wild Cards.” I loved the whole experience. I thought it was really good, and it really gave me a sense of something that I’m able to do after this life is over. And so, the hope is more of that to come. And the network, they loved me. They really did. They enjoyed me. They cherished me.” 

After explaining that his fans also praised him for his acting work thus far, Saints claimed that he would ideally like to play two specific Marvel Comics characters in the future.

“I’ve always said I think I could play a really good Gambit. I just need to learn how to throw cards and shuffle a deck. But yeah, that’s like the top of the list. If I can get Gambit, it’s a wrap, or Blade. Imagine me as Blade. I think I look good in Leather.”

As the expression goes “to err is human,” especially in a high-paced space like pro wrestling. Mistakes do happen. Luckily by the grace of good fortune, what started off as a near death moment on Thursday, March 12, turned mending after an Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) referee, Dallas Edwards, took an unpleasant Phenomenal Forearm bump, leaving him convulsed and in an apparent seizure. Rather than stop the match, it continued. Wearing many hats on the mat and around it, the current Chief Media Officer for Real American Freestyle Wrestling, Eric Bischoff, had this to say about the catastrophic event.

“Everybody f***ed up,” the former Executive Producer and late Senior Vice President of WCW said on his “83 Weeks” podcast. “There’s really one thing that should have happened in that situation, and that would be to shut the show down and make sure this young man wasn’t in a situation worse than he obviously was, because that could have been true, too…It’s just life or potentially life or death…The talent, they’re too caught up in their own s***. They’re inexperienced and probably never even imagined being in a situation like this. There’s pressure on them, unrealistic pressure that they’re probably putting on themselves.”

Since the initial report, Edwards is out of the hospital and recovering at home. In a social media post on X [formerly known as Twitter], the referee noted that he had suffered a concussion and a subdural hematoma.

Later, co-owner of OVW, Al Snow, released a statement stating the company would, “review our existing procedures and updating several of our in-ring and ringside protocols to ensure we continue to meet the highest expectations for performer safety.” OVW’s next show will be held this Thursday.
