Critics Review WWE's "The Chaperone" with Triple H, Opening Today
WWE Studios' The Chaperone with Triple H hits theaters today on a limited release. Here are some reviews on the movie. Currently on RottenTomatoes.com, the movie has a "rotten" rating of 25% with a 3.1 out of 10 average rating, based on 12 reviews.
Variety: "Presumably there's an audience out there for old-fashioned, poorly written, unevenly thesped, family-friendly tales of redemption starring beefy wrestlers and a bunch of kids, but it's difficult to imagine who."
Hollywood Reporter: "This lame WWE produced family comedy isn't likely to turn wrestling star Paul "Triple H" Levesque into a household name."
Los Angeles Times: "Like last year's "Legendary" and "Knucklehead," which didn't exactly slam moviegoers to the mat with their entertainment chops, this haphazardly clichéd comedy-drama about redemption similarly suffers."
Filmcritic.com: "If WWE is going to continue to insist on placing its stars in ill-fitting projects like this, the least it could do is spring for some livelier material."
Roger Moore: "As funny as these guys can be when they work themselves into a purple-faced rage yelling at the TV camera, none of the current generation of wrestler-actors seem to have the charisma or comic gifts of a Hulk Hogan or Dwayne Johnson."
New York Observer: "As long as the poker-faced "Triple H" is the centerpiece, The Chaperone is not without moments of genuine sweetness. Best of all, he is the most unpretentious and least flamboyant human juggernaut to ever hit the screen."
New York Post: "Stephen Herek's "The Chaperone" is dreadful enough to make you wish Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was still making family movies. Wrestling champ Paul "Triple H" Levesque is a fairly painless screen presence, but his taste in scripts may be even worse than former WWE colleague Johnson's."

WWE Superstars Results: Cobra Commanders
WWE Tag Team Champions Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov returned to “WWE Superstars” for the first time in 2011 to take on one of WWE’s hottest new tag teams, Zack Ryder & Primo. Marella’s patented Cobra emerged early – a possible scare tactic against Long Island Iced-Z and the newly-named “Primo Colada.” Sambo master Kozlov repeatedly used his body as a weapon, giving his team the upper hand throughout the match. After a brutal double-clothesline from The Moscow Mauler, Marella hit the Cobra on Primo and pinned him for the win, much to the WWE Universe’s delight. Full results.
