While "Ah-nuld" isn't an Academy Award winner, he was definitely bankable in summer blockbusters for two decades. Batista at damned near 70 tearing it up on the big screen? It's certainly possible.
Besides having been an independent professional wrestling manager for a decade, Marcus Dowling is a Washington, DC-based writer who has contributed to a plethora of online and print magazines and newspapers writing about music and popular culture over the past 15 years.
