Manny Pacquiao to face Batista -- but can The Animal shake off his injury?

Manny Pacquiao to fight Batista... on the big screen

The weekend brought exciting news from pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao. After he solved all of our country's intelligence and security problems, and before he goes off to beat the shit out of either Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley, next on his agenda will shoot a new action-comedy film called Wapakman.

But it won't just be any film, because starring opposite Pacquiao will be former WWE Champion Batista, who will playing the baddie in the movie. In a perfect world, their fight scenes would be as awesome as the one between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Game of Death, but if we go by Pacquiao's previous onscreen work, it'll be as stupid as the fight between Bong Revilla and Ruel Vernal in Boy Tornado.

The movie would also star Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger as Pacquiao's leading lady. I can't wait for the local showbiz buzzhounds to work their magic and create a rumored affair between Scherzinger and Pacquiao. I can't imagine Jinkee Pacquiao or Lewis Hamilton being too happy about that.

(By the way, Beyonce's first movie role after Destiny's Child was in Austin Powers in Goldmember, and Nicole couldn't find anything better than a dumb Pacquiao starrer? That's pathetic!)

It also seems like the producers are out to snag every world-famous Filipino entertainer, so expect cameos from Journey's Arnel Pineda and creepy 16-year-old singing machine Charice, or at least a duet for the soundtrack.

There's a potential wrench over all of these plans though; Batista recently had surgery to repair a torn biceps, which would put the big guy out of action for four months. While rumors abound that the time off is just a cover-up for a failed WWE drug test, the injury is serious enough that Batista will not be in action for the July 10 Smackdown/ECW house show at the Araneta Coliseum.

It won't be much of a loss for hardcore wrestling fans though, because the past couple of months of Smackdown has featured some of the best wrestling in the WWE over the past few years. Here is the sensational ending of last Friday's match between CM Punk and John Morrison, which actually tempted me to go ahead and buy tickets to the July 11 show.

This movie is being made just to boost Manny's popularity rating although I think there's no need for that anymore. Do the producers think they'll make money from the movie? This will again be a flop just like all the other pacman movies. On the other hand, Manny might just be the producer himself. In that case, he will lose nothing as his expenses are just chicken-feed for him.
