The segment from the film features Curt Hawkins as well as former WWE star and current Impact Wrestling star Swoggle. Hornswoggle plays himself in the movie, while Hawkins plays the role of Pythagoras.

The film also features appearances from Bull Dempsey and Virgil, and will be released by Comedy Dynamics this holiday season.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.
