Dave Bautista Could Produce Movie About Former WWE Star’s Life

WWE legend Dave Bautista could potentially create a film based on the life of MVP.

Ex-WWE star MVP recently shared on his Marking Out podcast that he has thought about turning his life story into a book or movie, but hasn’t started any solid steps yet in that direction, like writing a manuscript. Early discussions have taken place with WWE legend Dave Bautista, whose production company, Dogbone Entertainment, could help make MVP’s story.

“I have thought about it, and many people have asked me about it, and it’s something that I want to do. And I’ve actually talked to my good friend Dave Bautista. We’ve talked about, with his production company, taking the steps to turn my life story into a movie.

It’s something that — I trust Dave to do it. I wouldn’t trust just anybody with it, because my life story is not PG, man. My life story is rated R as [f*ck]. Rated X. I mean, legit, we have to get it like PG-13 at the minimal. But, yeah, it’s something Dave, and I have talked about, and it’s on the back burner.”

Dave Bautista Could Help MVP Tell His Story

MVP believes his life, which includes spending nearly a decade in jail for armed robbery on a cruise ship, has great potential for a compelling film. He also insisted he wouldn’t want to use a ghostwriter. Instead, he wants to write it himself, following in the footsteps of wrestling icons like Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, and Bret Hart, who authored their own autobiographies.

“My life is a movie, man. A movie in the making. From my teenage years in Miami as a graffiti artist/gang member, becoming an armed robber, going to prison, nine and a half years in prison, and all the bullsh*t I survived and saw in there, and then coming out and becoming — well, being a bouncer and bodyguard on South Beach, and selling weed and steroids to support my wrestling habit, going on to eventually making it as a professional wrestler.”
