Former pro-wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and martial arts star Gary Daniels are appearing together in the actioner HUNT TO KILL.

Austin stars as a border guard who is taken prisoner, along with his 17-year-old daughter, by a gang to help track down members of a rival gang. Daniels portrays one of the villains.

The film is currently shooting in and around Vancouver under the direction of Leoni Waxman.

Both actors previously worked on Sylvester Stallone’s THE EXPENDABLES. Daniels will next be seen in Dwight Little’s TEKKEN. Austin’s DAMAGE, which was recently released on DVD in the U.K. is supposedly heading to theaters in the U.S. in the early part of 2010.

Sunday, November 30, JR said this regarding some of the questions he was receiving from fans:

On Steve Austin

Steve Austin: “Will Steve Austin ever go to TNA? That’s a question for Steve but my educated guess would be no. I don’t think Steve has any intention of ever wrestling again as he focuses on his movie career which is both time consuming and challenging for the ‘new guy.’ Steve is and always will, be a fan of the wrestling business but he’s building a body of work in the movie business and has been involved in, I think, 3 or 4 productions this year alone which is a helluva, challenging schedule.”

Happy Thanksgiving to Steve Austin, his family, and all of YOU, the fans!

In an interview between WWE Diva Kelly Kelly and Silvervision.co.uk, here’s what she had to say about Steve Austin:

Q: Did you have any wrestlers that you particularly liked when you were growing up?
A: I loved Stone Cold, he was my favourite. I just thought he was so cute.

Jim Ross (JR) blogged yesterday about Monday Night RAW’s 3 hour show, and also wrote about Steve Austin filming in Vancouver!

JR wrote:

” Got an email today from Steve Austin who is in Vancouver and started filming another kick ass film Monday morning. Steve will be finished before Christmas and then will eventually migrate down to Texas to his ranch to hunt deer and to kick back a while. Mrs J.R. and I plan on visiting Steve some time in January. “

Earlier today Hulk Hogan did an interview for the SportFM 91.3 radio in Perth, Australia and I figured I’d transcribe the more interesting non-Hulkamania tour questions from the interview so here it goes:

Excerpt:

Question: You’ve been in the ring with the biggest names the wrestling industry’s ever seen but there’s one wrestler the fans would really love to see you in the ring with. There’s one wrestler that you never really got to take on in a one-on-one situation and that of course is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Steve Austin versus Hulk Hogan – what would the outcome be?

Hulk Hogan: I ran into Stone Cold one week before I came to Australia. I went to a Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach, California and there he was. He was working out during the day. He was doing a movie with my buddy Sylvester Stallone. And I told him, I said, “Brother, I’m going back to work. I’m getting back in the ring. If you want some come get some. Money’s not a problem. Your schedule’s not a problem. If you really want to get in the ring and you really want to make history then come get into the ring with Hulk Hogan”. I did not get an answer.

Question: So you threw the challenge out there but you did not get an answer?

Hulk Hogan: Face-to-face threw the challenge out, in his face.

This is an excerpt from an article from The Bleacher Report…

On Nov. 13, a story was released in the New York Times that stated Hogan’s wish to sign stars like Brian Knobbs, Randy Savage, Rob Van Dam, and Steve Austin to the TNA roster.

From a name recognition standpoint, it’s quite a list. The problem is that aside from one name on that list, there isn’t anyone who is truly a long-term quality talent acquisition for TNA.

Brian Knobbs’ last match within the WWE was a reunion of the “Nasty Boys” tag team for a Smackdown! taping in Tampa.

The match was reported to be “horrendous” and the two of them worked very unprofessionally stiff with their opponents. Knobbs was also never known as a standout singles competitor.

Randy Savage, now 57, had a career within the WWE worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, and many have called for his induction. He even had a short stint within TNA in 2004 and 2005 that ended over a creative disagreement involving the NWA World Title.

But at 57, I don’t suspect “the Mach” is able to put on quality matches any longer, at least not over a long period of time.

The IWC knows Steve Austin’s resume, which needs no introduction. While Austin’s name would bring ratings, injuries during his WWE career have left him unable to physically compete.

He also clearly stated his desire to move on from wrestling at his Hall of Fame induction. Barring a miracle, this signing is just not going to happen.

The New York Daily News published a story today on Hulk Hogan telling a fan at a book signing that he hopes to bring in Steve Austin, Randy Savage, RVD, and the Nasty Boys tag team to TNA, while also re-starting the Monday Night Wars against WWE.

“I wish to talk to Rob Van Dam, who is considering returning to the ring, and convince him to join TNA,” Hogan said, according to the newspaper. “Plus I’m also wishing to contact ex-Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Macho Man Randy Savage.”

The newspaper reports Hogan mentioned an idea for TNA programming on Monday nights against WWE Raw, which was one of the initial rumors when the Hogan-TNA partnership was announced a few weeks ago.

Hogan also claimed he “considered for months” guest-hosting Raw from Madison Square Garden, which takes place this coming Monday, until he “sealed the deal” with TNA.
