10 WWE Stars Who Made Terrible Actors

How can so many charismatic superstars display none of it on the big screen?

Goldberg Santas Slay There's a common misconception that professional wrestlers make the best actors. In some cases, that is true. In fact, look no further than The Rock. Arguably the biggest Superstar in WWE history to ever truly make it in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson has solidified himself as a star on the silver screen over the last decade. No one else in the wrestling world has come close to surpassing him until the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy" this past summer starring Batista. However, for every Rock and Batista, there have been ten other wrestlers who failed to make it big as actors. The most recognizable wrestling name that comes to mind is Hulk Hogan. The most popular professional wrestler on planet Earth at a time, Hogan took part in more movies than one could count. The only issue was that none of them were particularly good. There have been countless other wrestlers over the years to fall flat on their faces as actors, but none were as notable as Hogan. They may have a long lost of accolades to their credit as competitors inside the squared circle, but they unfortunately weren't able to translate that same success to the big screen. As the old saying goes, it'd be wise for the following individuals to not quit their day jobs.
