8 Actors You Didn't Know Were Wrestlers

Robert 'Jeep' Swenson's involvement in the wrestling business is much harder to overlook than most of his fellow Equity cardholders on this list, primarily down to his involvement in the consensus Greatest Match of All Time.

Uncensored '96's Doomsday Cage match has literally everything. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage versus the world. Three unstable cages. Arn Anderson dressed as a ninja. Zeus! And as an added bonus, Batman & Robin's Bane, wisely rechristened 'The Ultimate Solution' instead of his rather unfortunate original moniker 'The Final Solution'.

Swenson, who alleged to have the largest biceps on the entire planet, had actually performed for World Class Championship Wrestling long in advance of his five-star classic in Tupelo - and years before Joel Schumacher decided he was the guy he needed to land Academy gold. His big acting break came alongside his Uncensored clan-mate Zeus in Hulk Hogan vehicle No Holds Barred, but sadly, we were spared his presence at SummerSlam '89.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
