Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Choose Their WWE Signature Moves

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon spoke to WWE’s Jade Cargill about their signature moves in pro wrestling. 

Legendary actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have been friends since childhood and remain close friends to this day.

In addition to acting, they have both produced movies, and Affleck is also an acclaimed director.

Over the last 30 years, Affleck and Damon have been two of the most famous actors in the world, but they haven’t had much of an association with WWE.

Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka Was Big Influence On Ben Affleck And Matt Damon

In an interview with WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill to promote their movie The Rip (now available on Netflix), Ben Affleck and Matt Damon had some fun about what they would use as WWE signature moves.

“Jade Cargill: So what would your signature move be if you were a professional wrestler?

Matt Damon: I would run around the ring as fast as I could. (laughs)

Ben Affleck: You need the belly-to-belly suplex. I’m old school. I like the figure four. I could do like Snuka off the top of [the rope.]

Matt Damon: I might have to go Superfly off the top rope, yeah.

Jade Cargill: Okay, so you’ll be a high flyer.

Matt Damon: I think I would have to be. I gotta get to terminal velocity before I hurt somebody.” (h/t Fightful)

The Superfly off the top rope move is a reference to WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka doing the Superfly Splash off the top rope to win matches. Superfly was one of the most popular wrestlers in the 1980s, when Affleck and Damon were kids who likely watched wrestling.

Later in the interview, Damon said he’s never been to a wrestling show, while Affleck hasn’t been since he was a little kid. Both men said they would be open to going to a future WWE event.

As for Jade Cargill, she’s been criticized for not defending her WWE Women’s Title, which is really not her responsibility, since it’s up to the creative team to book her in those matches.
