Happy Gilmore 2 is set to be released on Netflix on Friday (July 25). Adam Sandler’s latest comedy flick is of particular interest to the wrestling world because MJF, Becky Lynch, and Nikki Bella are all part of the cast.
Earlier this week, the stars were out on the red carpet for the premiere event for the movie. Nikki Bella was on hand for the premiere, and she discussed how it went on the latest episode of The Nikki and Brie Show.
It wasn’t until that night as she sat watching the movie that Bella
realized all her talking scenes were actually cut from the movie.
“Y’all need to make sure you tune in this Friday.
So this is what I’m gonna say. Happy Gilmore 2 was awesome. I laughed the whole time. And there was so much I didn’t know.
Now, I remember hearing a few months ago that 20 minutes was gonna have to be cut out, and I’d been praying that it wouldn’t be my stuff. Well guess what? All my talking stuff got cut. And not just me, it’s the whole group of people I filmed with. Like, I don’t want to give too much away, but the characters that I had to work with, a majority, like, of our funny scenes got taken out. But I get it when I’m watching the whole thing. For 20 minutes to be taken out, and to keep the heart of Happy Gilmore, it had to happen.”
Nikki was a little sad and embarrassed when she realized her lines were taken out of the movie. Here’s what she had to say about it, and I’m keeping the word “like” in there because I don’t think you get the true essence of Nikki’s feelings without it.
“I mean, I’m not gonna lie, like inside I was really bummed, and like devastated, yeah and like red-faced. Like even though I mean, like, whatever, but you know when you’re like oh my gosh? Like, it just, like I was like, sad you know? I almost wish I like knew, especially because I did media right before that, and I’m like oh my gosh I’m this character, and...you don’t even end up knowing my name!
But it’s okay. Honestly like, the movie is so good. The movie is so good! It’s the best movie I’ve seen in years. I’m not even just saying that.”
Does Nikki’s praise for Happy Gilmore 2 make you more likely to check it out this weekend? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
