In an effort to promote his new movie Real Steal, which I learned today is based on the same short story as the Twilight Zone episode “Steal,” which makes sense and I shouldn’t have been so quick to assume they were trying to say they weren’t connected at all, this is more my problem than their’s I realize, Hugh Jackman paid a visit to WWE Raw. It’s a television show? About wrestling. You get it. From The Huffington Post:
The star ended up in the corner of underdog wrestler Zach Ryder as he took on Dolph Ziggler, a heel wrestler known for antagonizing the audience and his opponents. He extended the annoyance to Jackman, intentionally confusing his famed Marvel X-Men character with Batman.
Hahah. I just want to make it clear that I am NOT against this. This sounds great. I do not understand the WWE, barring the idea of The Miz which I love, but only because remember when he was on the Real World?, and I can’t imagine myself or anyone else actually watching it. But this does sound great. Following this, Hugh Jackman gave a staged punch-in-the-face to Zolf Renegade or whatever, helping Daze Motorquick win the round. But oh no! NOW ZOLF RENEGADE HAS A BROKEN JAW FOR REAL! From HuffPo, again:
“land in Bikini Bottom 9:30 am, MRI scheduled for 1 pm…..possible fractured jaw #thanksBatman” Ziggler tweeted on Tuesday … “hairline mandibular fracture. Guess i’ll put my chipotle in a blender for a few weeks, its not ballet #HEEL > heal,” he added later in the day, confirming the injury.
Uhoh, Zolf! This sounds VERY SERIOUS! No, jk. I do not think Hugh Jackman broke this person’s jaw. I’m not sure that anyone thinks that? Let me know if you think that. Also let me know if thinking that Hugh Jackman broke Drang Zanzabang’s jaw makes you want to see Real Steal. Maybe you should just watch “Steal” on Netflix instead. But anyway, here is the clip from Raw so you can JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!
I can’t wait ’til the Muppets are on and break ALL the jaws.
































More like WWPee, huh guys?
Hugh Jackman’s finishing move? The DDPee, of course.
I watched the replay super close and it isn’t a punch that broke his jaw…. Dude slipped in a puddle.
Wait. Am I to understand that he had to go to SpongeBob Squarepants’ home town for medical attention? We have to fix out healthcare, guys.
If a 30 year old wrestler has the money for health insurance but chooses not to pay for it AND chooses not to snorkel down to Bikini Bottom for the free underwater sponging/leeching clinic there, should the public be responsible for wiring his jaw shut?
I know I snark a lot on here, but I am genuinely perplexed as to why he is lading in “Bikini Bottom” for medical attention. Someone research this for me please and present your findings in a Google Slideshow presentation for review by a panel made up of myself, Superglue and another Monster to be determined.
I thought Real Steel was based on Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots?
i will again state my support for this intensely stupid looking movie, because the Fox Sports robot could really use the work. his robot house is in robot foreclosure and he needed the work in case of the lockout canceling the season.
“I have a name, you know.” – Cleatus, the FOX NFL robot
Upvoted for either the joke or for knowing this, and I don’t care which is the right one.
Not to mention he has robot cancer.
I’m glad Hugh Jackman got to live out his life long dream.
Everything about this reminds me of that SNL sketch about men that are both hyper masculine and very dainty. I think Andy Samberg as Hugh Jackman hosted the sketch.It was not unfunny.
Great story, badideajeans! You should tell it again!
Well, okay…

“What the…who the hell is this guy?”
“This is Gerard Depardieu, sir.”
“No no NO, that is not who I asked for. I said I wanted the AUSTRALIAN guy known for pee. Not the FRENCH guy known for pee.”
“Je Urineaux?”
“No Gerard. Ne fait pas de Urineux, s’il vous plait.”
looks who’s getting ready for their upcoming Cage Match….
What the fuck is wrong with his facial hair????
That is in italics because it is meant to be said in a shocked, low stage whisper.
Pro Wrestling referees seem to get distracted quite a bit. They should hire better referees.
Chipotle in a blender? Zolf’s most definitely lying.
That WAS a “real steal” sir, yes it was…
REAL TALK – I believe Jackman fractured Ziggler’s jaw. I’m a regular watcher of the wrasslin’, so I like to think I can tell when a punch really lands. That was a pretty solid punch Jackman landed. Watching in it real time I was all “oof, he really tagged him there.”
Plus, why would he be tweeting about it if it wasn’t real? I don’t see what he would get out of it.
