But for all the garbled one-liners and ropey s tunt-work, the absolute indisputable accept-no-substitutes best thing about wrestlers being in films is when they hit their finisher. Like, yeah you could cast any bloke with a mean look and a neck like and upturned mixing bowl in these parts, but nobody in the audience is going to pop when they hit a Powerbomb, are they?

Anyway we did this exact article over a year ago now and despite fitting in The Rock, Kurt Angle, John Cena, John Morrison and more, the comments we’re absolutely flooded with people incensed that we’d missed a few. So, well, here you go, guys; a Part Two, an encore, a supple piece of user-generated content delivered with both love and mild resentment, don’t say we never listen.
