— As reported earlier, Steve Austin is filming a movie called “Damage” in Vancouver. There is said to be a lot of fight scenes in the movie. They’ve recruited area boxers and MMA fighters to be his “jobbers” in a montage fight scene of Austin beating one person after another. The film’s director wanted to use real fighters instead of stuntmen or pro wrestlers because he made it clear that he doesn’t want the fight scenes to resemble professional wrestling. Paul Lazenby, a former announcer for Bodog, and is both a pro wrestler and MMA fighter, is among the “jobbers.”
