Award-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser is set to step into the ring with former ECW World Champion Steve Corino at Premier Wrestling Federation’s PWF Shattered Dreams on September 20. Ahead of the bout, Hauser shared a video on Instagram, with many of his actor friends questioning, “Who is Steve Corino?”

The video features appearances from Sam Rockwell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Giovanni Ribisi, Johnny Knoxville, former WWE Champion Dave Bautista (aka Batista), Matthew Lillard, and Judd Apatow, all having jokes at Corino’s expense. Corino has not yet responded to the video.

Hauser admits that he knows who Corino is and said that he’s “in over his skis.” He adds, “When the Mercenary comes to North Carolina, he is leaving with the PWF Undisputed Championship. Steve Corino, a wrestling legend, meet the legend in the making. No gory, no glory.”

Corino also currently works as a coach and producer in WWE NXT. Hauser and Corino will face off for the PWF Championship at the event. It’s being held at the Carolina Wrestling Academy. You can view Hauser’s clip below (Warning: Language is NSFW).
