Best performance by a wrestler in a movie?

[Fuji Vice]

Pretty simple, state which wrestler you think did the best job acting outside of the ring and why you feel that way.

For me it's always going to be Roddy Piper in They Live. I mean, just check out this line....

Yep, I honestly don't think it can get much better than that but he's also just really well cast as the main character and he is certainly believable in the role. Without him, I don't think the movie would have worked as well as it did and that's even assuming Carpenter would have cast Kurt Russell if Piper wasn't available. Anyhow, I'm sure some of you have your own thoughts on this subject so let's hear them!

Can we eliminate The Rock from this group as that will be some people's most obvious choice.


Oh And Piper ruled in They Live.

Not if they can give a reason why they think that way. I mean, he's pretty hammy in a lot of stuff (The Rundown, Scorpion King, Doom) but he was actually quite good in Snitch.

Oh I do enjoy most of his films and think he is getting better overall but he has done some crap.


Oh I watched No Holds Barred again the other day man did I forget how bad Hogan was or the people in the film were that bad.

I thought Cena was quite good in Legendary, I haven't actually seen that many films with wrestlers in though.

Mr. T in DC Cab although Mr. T wasn't really a wrestler he did alot with WWF in the 80's

Yeah, I can't think of one I enjoy more than Piper in They Live either. He killed it.

And if Tyler Mane counts I gotta say I did like his portrayal of Michael Myers.
