Professional Wrestlers in the Movies
It should come as no surprise that professional wrestlers, the kind you see on TV wrestling shows, are little more than actors. A lot of the holds and moves are legitimate in wrestling and a lot of them are not. More often than not, when it appears that one of these "celebrities" has been injured, the injuries are faked and it's all show. These professional wrestlers, with a whole bunch of "acting" experience under their belts (no pun intended), are the perfect candidates for roles in movies requiring a screen presence that reflects muscular power. I'm going to point out some of the movies and the wrestlers associated with them. It won't be pretty.
