Joe Manganiello: "I'm planning on hitting someone with a chair. That's what I plan on. I told them I'll do RAW, but you have to let me hit someone with a chair. So i'm going to go out there and do that and then I did a podcast for Chris Hardwick for The Nerdist last year and we talked old school wrestling for about an hour. I did a lot of impersonations as guy's like the Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior. The fans seemed pleased and out of that, we were joking and we and Matt Myra, one of Chris's writers, were not so jokingly threw out the idea doing a trailer for a movie called SAVAGE about the Macho Man and I would play Randy, the Macho Man. I'm going to figure out a place where I can drop SAVAGE on RAW."
Schwarzenegger: "You never know. You have to watch because we don't even know, but we will enjoy it."
Joe Manganiello: "David (Ayer) likes to improvise a bit so once we get the shot, David like to just let us do what we want. I guess to 'improvise" to Sam Worthington, that mean to find a desk or a chair and then WWE top rope-stye jump off of it at Joe (me). So there's a scene when we're in a facility and David is like, 'all right, let's improvise.' So Sam fuckin' launches himself off of this desk at me and he flies at me in the air and like WWE style, I just grabbed him out of the air and held him there and then BOOM, body-slammed him down and everything just flew off of the desk!"
Joe Manganiello: "Probably not good, I would think."
Joe Manganiello: "Yeah, (laughs) Sam's always angry. We were all angry. We were all in character the whole time so improvise probably means something different down in Australia. You know what I mean, don't launch off a desk at me. If you do that, I'm not going to just stand there and take it. I mean, Grinder wouldn't. Grinder is going to kill everybody."
Joe Manganiello: David (Ayer) liked throwing me curveballs, I'll say that. So there was a point in the strip club where David advised me to get "handsy" with the dancers. So I'm doing my thing and unbenounced to me, David had told the guy who plays the bouncer to come up and when I touch the girl, to put his hands on me and grab me. So he put his hands on me and grabbed me and I just shook him off and whatever, I just went back to doing other stuff but then he touched me again. SO, in character, I mean I shoved that guy...and he FLEW back and everyone got quite because no one knew this was going on, including me. And then he got in my face and I advised him he was making a very stupid move and I have him the option of backing out right now..."
Joe Manganiello: "Yeah, it was like expletive, expletive! He did not... so I kind of head-butted. I put my forehead up against his and BOOM, shoved him away with my head. I mean it got really heated. I pulled my machete, that is my own in the movie, which was a gift to me by a Navy seal. So I pull my machete out, which is like a foot long with a jagged edge - a really scary looking weapon and I just kind of held it up and i'm like, 'do it.' Like 'Go ahead. do it." And of course he did not. Then I just flipped the machete upside down and just stuck it into the stripper stage, sat down and continued my beer. So that bummed me out that's not in there (the final film) and it's just on the cutting room floor somewhere."
