6. President Camacho - Idiocracy

In Mike Judge's superlative dystopian comedy Idiocracy, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is president of the United States, the second-smartest man on Earth, a critically-acclaimed pornstar, and a former "Ultimate Smackdown champion." Played by the delightful Terry Crews, he looks like a perfect fusion of Apollo Creed and the 2005 Lemmyface version of Triple H, and I kind of want him to run for president for real.

We don't actually see any of Camacho's in-ring exploits, although his various presidential speeches and proclamations have the all the crowd-swaying gravitas of a good Rock promo. Also, he's able to to dispatch a flamethrower dude called "Beef Supreme" with a single shoulderblock. Terry Crews has some wrestling experience, kind-of, as T-Money from the bizarro late 90's series, "Battle Dome." Can we start a campaign to have Terry Crews guest host Raw and work a faces of Foley gimmick?
