Johnny Gargano Says He Pitched ‘Buddy Cop Movie’ With Samoa Joe To WWE Studios

Johnny Gargano has been touted as the face of NXT by many fans due to his excellent feuds with the likes of Tommaso Ciampa and Adam Cole. His in-ring skills are definitely one of the best in the company.

Johnny Gargano is also a huge fan of films in general, from a variety of genres. Now it seems he has an interesting idea when it comes to acting in his own movie.

While speaking to Rick Ucchino, Johnny Gargano revealed that he has pitched the idea of acting in a buddy cop movie with Samoa Joe to WWE Studios.

“Obviously to have a mind like Samoa Joe…to have a guy like Samoa Joe who is an absolute legend. You can’t replace what he knows and you can’t replace his insight, and obviously as a character, he has been so fun to have on the show. I pitched that after he saved me from getting runover by a motor-vehicle that obviously there is a buddy-cop movie in the future. Me and Samoa Joe, buddy cop movie! I think it writes itself! So…I’m gonna keep pitching. I know we’ve got a movie studio…So…I’ll see what I can do!”
