Should be 2nd behind Roddy Piper

>>18587311 (OP)
Because he was in capeshit? That’s it?

>>18587348
The only other thing I remember him in was from the first few minutes of Blade Runner 2049

Nah it's Edge then Chris Jericho

>>18587348
Probably because he can actually act. Cena is a pretty mid actor and Dwayne can only play one character and refuses to not take himself seriously in every role.

>>18587357
Money Plane.

>>18587358
Can he really? I have seen him in a lot of roles and he doesn't stand out.

How much producer dick has he taken?

>>18587311 (OP)
The idea that Batista is a good actor just because his major wrestler-turned-actor contemporary was Dwayne who did shlock roles is laughable
Honestly Rock in Gridiron gang before he went full soulless is a better performance than Dave has ever given

>>18587311 (OP)
I've yet to see him in anything that I thought he was good in
Even Guardians of the Galaxy he was mid at best with his acting and his forced jokes sucked
I can at least say Piper was good in they live

Macho Man was in Spiderman (Toby Mcguire Spiderman the only one that matters) and Ready 2 Rumble so I say he had the best acting career

>>18587353
that is his best work

>>18587432
The Rock completely fucked up in his acting choices he started off good going for the guy movie action star which was a needed role after Arnold went to be governor and honestly, he started sucking with his movie choices after awhile
He should have been doing the fun over the top action flicks instead he makes shit comedies and retarded disaster movies.

Blade Runner is the greatest ever movie starring a wrestler and if you disagree, you arent an incel so your opinion on KINO doesnt even fucking matter

>>18587311 (OP)
>plays grunting hulk every movie
>gets his asshole plowed for roles
>he's a great actor

>>18587460
Predator is better

>>18587311 (OP)
Roddy was great. He should have done more acting

Batista is arguably the greatest wrestler-turned-actor because he combines in-ring charisma with real versatility on screen. From his WWE dominance to a film career that spans blockbuster action and nuanced character moments, he consistently proves he can carry a movie and elevate supporting roles alike. His turn as Drax the Destroyer is a masterclass in how to blend deadpan humor with genuine emotional warmth, making an extraterrestrial alien feel iconic and relatable. Beyond Guardians of the Galaxy, he has tackled a range of roles—intense and menacing in Spectre, quietly human in Blade Runner 2049, and funny-but-capable in Stuber—showing he can reinvent himself without losing the magnetic presence that made him a star in the first place. Batista’s work ethic, fearlessness in choosing diverse projects, and ability to connect with audiences worldwide have earned him lasting respect, making him a standout figure in the wrestler-turned-actor lineage.

>>18587311 (OP)
piper was in one good movie

>>18587357
Jericho was good in Terrifier and Jay and Silent Bob.

>>18588037
And as The Maniac in It's Always Sunny

>>18587358
>Probably because he can actually act
he can't though. he does the same character in every film

>>18587369
because he's fucking acting.

>>18587311 (OP)
Maybe if Roddy had a second notable role outside of They Live.
>>18587348
He has small roles in a lot of movies and he's unironically really good. You can tell he puts the work in even when it's a 5 minute part.

Batista overrated

There will never be a better wrestler acting performance than Jhon Cena in Ricky Stanicky.

>>18588973
Humiliation

They Live is literally one of the greatest & most important films ever put to screen. Just having the starring role in it alone should qualify you as the best and negate all other competition.

>>18587358
Cena is a good actor, the issue is that you can't unsee it being John Cena, the only role I have seen with him that got away with it being John Cena but still also coming off like a character of their own was Peacemaker.

>>18587311 (OP)
It's Roddy Piper, then Terry Funk, then Jesse Ventura.

>>18587311 (OP)
As far as prominent roles and fame go? For sure. Rock should be in that conversation too
>>18587357
As far as actual acting chops go? I agree with this. At least with Edge at the top. Jericho's pretty underrated too but it still feels like any role he does is just Jericho playing that role

>>18587457
Rock was taking the roles Vin Diesel didn't want until the tables flipped after Hollywood came together to say "This wrestler guy is an absolute DELIGHT to work with," and declared he was the action star of the 2000s even if he didn't have hits to back it up.

>>18588037
What do you have against Hell Comes to Frogtown?

>>18587353
I like the Man with the Iron Firsts and Riddick 3.

>>18587358
I don't care for the Rock's movies but he is a far superior actor to Batista. Batista just gets the love because of capeshit, that's a fact.

>>18587447
Sadly his scene in spiderman got scrubbed from history due to rami's racist promo

>>18587549
forgot about this, this was great

Roddy, Andre, and Macho were all better in their roles than Bootysta. Actually Macho had a voice acting role in Dexter's Laboratory that was very memorable; he's their take on Galactus and wrestles Monkey in Dial M for Monkey

>>18592192
wow i thought that was just a macho knock off

>>18587311 (OP)
Wouldnt that be Rock if going by box-office and pay? Rock was the highest paid actor in Hollywood at one point which is wild for a wrestler turned actor

1. Piper
2. Batista
3. Hogan
4. Ventura
5. Andre
6. Savage
7. Tor Johnson
8. Lou Albano
9. Lenny Montana
10. George Steele

>>18592235
Rock is not involved in a quality project nor ever displayed any talent outside of wrestling. his salary shouldn't factor in to a list of "greatest" wrestler turned actor.

>>18587348
Knives Out was really good, but it was an ensemble piece. It is kinda like saying Tim Curry is a GOAT Comedy actor because he was in Clue.

>>18592119
>>18592235
Austin actually showed more acting talent than either Rock or Cena so far and he shouldn't be on the list either because his roles were also limited.
Rock's best acting if you can call it that were in some of his best wrestling promos.

>>18592438
Tim Curry is a good comedy actor.

>>18587348
He's by far the most versatile actor of them all. Rock is a one-trick pony, Cena is good but not as good as Dave, Hogan sucked, Austin was a one-trick that failed. Any other guys with any stake in this were in like 1 good project or 1 project period

Shotzi got her tits out in a movie. That alone makes her more entertaining than any other wrestler in a movie.

>>18592459
Nigger I am watching Hobbes & Shaw right now and The Rock blows Simp Cuckold Seethe Autism out of the water

You wanna see a dude fuck an alligator- Money Plane.

Terry Funk if he had more roles

>>18592408
What number is Nash

Hot Rod had range due to his life expieriences and nearly being raped by patterson and Lord Big Knob

Thank you

That rock movie about a bunch of young black guys playing football in jail was good tho
Btw why did no one mention Paul's role on Blade?
