10 Wrestler Movie Cameos You Totally Missed

8. Jesse Ventura - Batman & Robin

Jesse Ventura has lived a life with more action and variety than a roomful of people combined. The list of titles on Jesse's CV include: Navy SEAL, Mongols MC Sergeant-At-Arms, Rolling Stones bodyguard, pro wrestler, commentator, movie star, politician, TV host, author, podcaster and marijuana advocate. Needless to say, Ventura is undoubtedly a man of action.

If his status wasn't granite enough, his filmography suggests just that, starring alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator and The Running Man, as well as appearing in Demolition Man with Stallone as well. However, one of the more forgotten movies on his Hollywood resume is 1997's Batman & Robin, starring George Clooney and, you guessed it, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Playing a security guard in Arkham Asylum, Jesse once again shares a scene with Arnie, this time appearing momentarily, before being poisoned by Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy character. Not quite on par with his performance as Blain in Predator but still no worse than his starring role in the Abraxas movie (seriously, look it up).

Coincidentally, like Terry Funk, Jesse Ventura also has a small role in The Ringer, providing the voice of the motivational speaker.

Occasional wrestler, full-time gym rat and lifelong lover of the grapple game. Would probably buy you a shot of Jack at the bar in exchange for witty banter...and preferably more Jack. @MartynGrant88 for more wrestling-related musings and weight room wisecracks!
