I've been reading about recent rumors indicating HHH taking the role of Shao Kahn in the upcomming Mortal Kombat: Devastation. I can't provide direct proof, but if you do a search I'm sure you will get a lot of rumors.

In fact I even found this picture:
http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/7930/thhhor5uk.jpg

which is conveniately similar to a few of Shao Kahn's characteristics. He's sitting on a throan, he has a "war-hammer" type weapon next to him, this is during HHH's bad-guy character, he is the self proclaimed "King of Kings" which is probably how Kahn feels.

He's had an acting career, so this shouldn't be something new for him. In fact, he did pretty well in Blade Trinity. Plus I think he's built enough for the part.

I'd assume he'd wear the mask so the hair shouldn't be a problem, and if he is unmasked hopefully the director will stay true to the game and give him a Tarkata-style facial.

Sorry if this topic was mentioned before, I don't think I found any results with the search engine.

Ok,OK,all wrestlers sucks!
They can fight,they can talk to microphone,they can wear with strange clothes,but please stop making movie!
If i'm not wrong there's a identical thread where someone talk about Kevin Nash or HHH can be Khan.
It sucks,oth of them can injury wearing their helmets!smile
Joking a part,i need to say you something:
1 Devastation is not UPCOMING,but we have to wait at least one year to see it on theaters
2 please don't post anything else regarding just...RUMORS,notice from IMDB,ecc because 99,999999999999% of them aren't true
3 if you want to post make it be a good news(jokesmile
4 i repeat,even though not all are agree:don't be so impatient for Devastation it will be surely a crap and low budget movie = to Annhiliation
(i like Annhiliation,but t still be a sucks movie)
I don't know why but i don't ant to see a third MK movie...did you feel swindle smell?

I question the viability of his acting, but more to the point, his physique.
It really goes against type here. Shao Khan, for all his strength, is generally a guy I think of as pretty tall and more conventionally proportioned.

While Triple H is reasonably tall compared to most folk, his V chest just doesn't say Shao Kahn to me.

idont think wrestlers suck. theyre actually very talented when you think of it.

1. They body build like crazy to get that big, even if its with steroids thats still a lot of work

2. For being that bulky, they are all pretty acrobatic, for doing flips, jumping off of turnbuckles, and coordinating their moves. If you watch it takes a lot of acrobatic skill to make sure that they don't hurt the other wrestler during a move, and they themselves don't get hurt when another wrestler is performing a move.

3. Most of them can act pretty decently, If you can sell your hatred for yourrival wrestler X long enough to be champion for months in a row.....youre a decent actor.

So all in all, I think wrestlers are perfect for roles in movies such as MKD, and I'd be glad to see Triple H develop his acting talent in this movie.

humansmoke:first off i said that wrestlers sucks because they aren't good to recitation(have you seen The Rock's movies!a lot of magazine tells about him"The Rock,expressive than a ...Rock!").
Triple H is good to acting,but i'm afraid that Blade 3 was just one trial movei,lbecause RAW without him is worst than Smackdown'worst show.
secondo of:tripleH is huge wrestler,but he is not acrobatic and he needs stuntman for some sptacular moves.
third of: maybe weslters can act quite well and can do spectacular moves,but are they similar to MK characters.
For example KID KASH and CHRIS JERICHO,CHRIS BENOIT,ROB VAN DAM ,TAJIRI are true martial arts experts but did they resemble to any MK character?
I think that Brian Thompson was a good Shaop Kahn thy need to put ion his face some make-up to make he looks like a demon(when he don't wear the helmet).

....lol you know.....I really doubt Shao Kahn's role in this film, if hes in it, is gonna need stunt doubles. Triple H could pull the role off and he could be very good at it, he is very good at acrobatic movement and is very graceful in the ring. and Chris Benoit knows martial arts? he knows freestyle wrestling like the back of his hand but Im pretty sure he doesnt know any martial arts. And The Rock is doing great considering hes only had like what....4 or 5 films. Most actors who become really good hollywood actors have 4 or 5 maybe even up to 10 movies of their early career that they didnt do too well in at all. And The Rock only has 4 or 5 and he is doing pretty good for not going to college for acting or studying it a whole lot or anything, just from his charsmatic wrestling appearance (which he did like no other). Don't say that The Rock cant act man, it really gets on my nerves when people say stuff like that because hes tryin really hard just like all actors do, and most of the famous actors who are famous right now had horrible movies their first few times. At least The rocks arent horrible and they are at least decent. peace

I haven't seen MK:C, so I can't comment on Jeff Meek's abilities. If they do choose to get a wrestler to play the role of Shao Kahn, I think Glen Jacobs (Kane) would be the best choice. The guy's very tall, pretty built (he's slimmed down in recent years, but he is still pretty big, and has the right skin tone to play Shao Kahn, in my opinion), plus he wrestled in a mask for years. He could also sound like Shao Kahn if they wanted him to. He has an awesome evil laugh.

Kane's also got film experience. He was in "See No Evil", which wasn't exactly a masterpiece, but it's probably better than getting a wrestler with no film experience.

hey shredder don't get hungry!
First off: i DON't say that The Rock sucks,but it's said by critics(i agree with them).
second:if you say that HHH can do acrobatic moves(i don't mean missile dropkicks but air jump and rolls) it means that you never see him wrestle.
third:Chris Benoit is a great martial artist,look any of his WCW/ECW match(especially the memorial for Owen hart against Bret Hart when he make a lot of martial arts moves and styles like jujistu,judo,Vale Tudo,,etc).
Or better see his match in NJPW...

Dont you give Vomit your own little suck ass rules.

Plainly and simply you suck, your opinion is not wanted unless you can express it without being a complete arsehole.

Stop talking about things as if you know about them when you dont, and a rumour can be posted as long as it is stated rumour which was done.

Do not try and moderate on a forum when your far from a moderator, and especialy dont moderate people on the forum who everyone has a hell of alot more respect for than they do you.!!

Did you just say Benoit and Vale Tudo in the same sentence. lol you know that match was in "WCW" right? which is a wrestling organization, where they perfom "fake" wrestling maneuvers on each other, lol. Jujitsu and Judo, dude, I tell you waht, go watch the UFC and watch a guy named Karo Pariseian and then tell me if Benoit knows Judo, you obvoisly dont even know what the hell any of those three martial arts are anyways. Benoit does not know martial arts, nowhere in any history of his does it state it, I have his film and it does not state it, he is a master of Freestyle Wrestling and Puroresu and British Wrestling. And umm.....lol Chris Jericho is no martial arts master either. Nor is Kid Kash. LoL you talk about NJPW like its a Martial Arts company or something. Dude, that is just like every other wrestling organization, except a lot of their wrestling is based on Lucha Libre wrestling, that is why most of Japan's wrestlers of the early 90s had masks and all of those moves they performed were Lucha Libre moves. Like when Jericho does the "Lionsault" off of the second rope, lol thats not martial arts, thats Lucha Libre. Any wrestling move, is not martial arts. Oh wait, maybe a kick, lol, I guess technically its a martial arts movement. But Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho have no martial arts backgrounds whatsoever. They both trained very hard in the 80's in Stu Harts Dungeon in Calgary, Alberta, CAnada. They got their break in NJWP, then ECW, then WCW, and finally the WWE, and those are all wrestling organizations, not martial arts. The only wrestler on that list that is still around that does martial arts is Rob Van Dam, but he does not use martial arts in wrestling, because in wrestling you do not hit your opponents, you wrestle them, lol pro wrestling and martial arts are like the opposite of each other man. You are gonna flame me over somethin like that when you dont even know what you arer talking about. Does Hulk Hogan know martial arts too? wait let me guess......Jeet Kune Do right? man...why say something about people when you dont know if its true or not, people do this all the time its so freakin stupid.

Shredder i haven't time to waste,if you want to believe in me it's well,otherwise it doesn't matters to me.
However,if you want to hear,listen carefully:not only because Benoit,Kid Kash or Chris Jericho ACTUALLY make wrestling(Ok Jericho is a former wrestler) this means that they can't know martial arts.
I never used Hulk Hogan,The rock,Steve Austin or other names.
I just said that these people uses martial arts fighting styles(hey don't use in WWE,but they know) in a lot of interview they slated more than one time that they are martial arts expert.
once in WWe Badd Blood 2003 Jericho and Goldberg were arguing hardly offending each other:they start to fight(REALLY) and a lot of people when tried to split them said thta Jericho kick Goldber's A$$ with a lot of martial arts moves.

hey people,i'm not defensive and,otherwise,NOT offensive.
I just said that HH can't be a good Shao Kahn because he can't do stunt moves and jumps,ect.just like a normal actor,and that NORMAL actor can be payed minus than HHH,with same aftermath?Don't you think...
And BTW i first said that HH isn't a good Shao Kahn,and FOR ME wrestlers can't act very well(Blade trinity is a desperate case) because he(HHH) and other wrestlers don't lokks like Shao kahn at all.
If you read well my psts i said that a Good Shao Kahn can be Brian Thompson with just some Make-up.
After being offense or eventually bad answered i get on my nerves...
I don't try to be a moderator(i don't want so) but i just said that not long time ago there was a very similar(maybe identical) trhead regarding Kevin Nash(after a few posts HHH's name come out).
Vomit,i think that you should ask before to Skinsley why him became so defensive/offensive(with a lot of vulgarity) and then you can do to me.

I doubt Batista knows much about acting. The steroids musta gotten to his head or something. HHH has, at least, had some experience.

If anything, the next best choice would be Nathan Jones, no questions asked.
