10 Best Wrestling Matches In Non-Wrestling Movies
9. Shane Wolfe Vs. Dwayne Murney - The Pacifier
By 2005, Vin Diesel had reached the stage of his career where the tough guy routine was growing stale and had to find work as a family-friendly entertainer like all the big action stars do. It happened to Schwarzenegger, Stallone and The Rock, now it's the turn of Dom Toretto.
In The Pacifier, Vin's Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe goes on an undercover mission, shadowing the widow of a government scientist in order to get his hands on important information, all while trying to look after the five children in the family, and of course, shenanigan's ensue.
One of the children, Seth, has been playing up at school, including dying his hair, keeping Nazi armbands in the school, but most importantly (at least according to Vice-Principle Dwayne Murney) skipping wrestling practice. Upon learning Seth only took up wrestling because of his now-deceased father, he quits the team and Wolfe challenges Murney to a match in front of the whole school.
In the bout, Murney is all bravado, whereas Wolfe is all business. As such, Wolfe easily dominates the Vice-Principal with basic self-defence holds without breaking a sweat, humiliating him in front of both students and faculty. Not exactly a gripping contest, but effective offence nonetheless.
