10 Worst Movies Starring Wrestlers

2. Santa with Muscles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XiAYebVwQw And now we're onto the meat; two films that both starred Hulk Hogan and were both irredeemably terrible. They're so bad, along with everything else on this list, that somehow Hogan's inept comic sci-fi Suburban Commando even avoided making the list, a real testament to how poorly judged these projects are. Santa with Muscles, believe it or not, makes Santa's Slay seem half-way competent, even if Hogan is naturally a lot more charismatic than Goldberg. It's the insultingly idiotic screenplay that makes this one of the most insipid Christmas movies ever made, with a premise that doesn't give much hope from the outset; Hogan plays an evil billionaire who suffers amnesia and comes to believe that he is, you guessed it, Santa Claus. The movie makes frequent appearances in IMDB's Bottom 100 Movies of All Time, and rightly so; the film suggests that a head injury can make you stop being a selfish moron and actually do something for society, which even in our more relaxed mood around Christmas, is not something we're ready to buy into. It doesn't warm the heart, it doesn't amuse, it's just dumb and pathetic.
