10 WWE Wrestlers You Didn't Know Appeared In Movies

5. Abdullah The Butcher In Roaring Fire

For once a big, famous wrestler was aligned with the good guys in the move. Abby was a huge name in Japan during the 1980's and his scarred forehead made an appearance in this obscure Sonny Chiba film. It is a typical 1980's Japanese martial arts film but The Butcher's performance gives it added value. His role is to, basically, assist the hero and fend off bad guys and he does so with aplomb. Abdullah, whose forehead was is badly scared that his party trick was is balancing poker chips in the gaps where he had mutilated himself, didn't appear in any more films after this one but did star in some equally bizarre Japanese commercials for a lemon drink, music cassettes and air conditioners. What a versatile man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uydCJiYyIfw
