No, the WWE 2K series doesn't count.

Mendes tried her hand at acting before competing in the 2006 Diva Search and appeared in a number of commercials in Costa Rica for products as varied as Trident and Chrysler. Mendes' most recognised role from this period in her life focused more on her voice than her looks though, as she appeared as a voice actor in the world-famous 'Need For Speed' video game franchise.

'Need For Speed: Most Wanted' was the game and Isabel Diaz was the character, but despite its success, Mendes decided against looking for further work in the voice acting industry. The Diva Search was coming up and Rosa was about to put all of her eggs into the professional wrestling basket.

Could she now move back into the acting world?

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
