Member Sam Seed Posted September 16, 2010 Member Share Posted September 16, 2010 Kevin James was a wrestler in highschool and he actually trains in MMA, so this could be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Mick Foley (pro wrestling legend) was on the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted June 8, 2011 Author Member Share Posted June 8, 2011 Okay, here's the latest on Kevin James' MMA comedy film. The film is titled Here Comes the Boom. The film is being directed by Frank Coraci, the man who directed Adam Sandler's The Waterboy and Jackie Chan's Around the World in 80 Days. Along with James, Salma Hayek, Henry Winkler, and pop singer Charice have joined the cast as well as MMA legend Bas Rutten. Garrett Warren is serving as the film's stunt coordinator.

Member bamboo spear Posted June 8, 2011 Member Share Posted June 8, 2011 He's had Bas Rutten and Rampage on King of Queens a few times, and Joe Rogan is in his new Zoo comedy, so he must be tight with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
