1 Triple H (Blade Trinity)
Triple H role in the final chapter of the Blade
trilogy, as Jarko Grimwood, one of the bad guy
vampires who tangled it up with Ryan Reynolds for
whatever reason. In fact, Triple H is one of the
least annoying things about Blade Trinity, which
technically makes his appearance a smashing
success.

2 Goldberg (Universal Soldier The Return)
Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Bill Goldberg? Sure,
why not? said some executive in 1999. And voila,
a sequel to Universal Soldier was born. Goldberg
who you may remember as that dude who snorted
smoke and tackled everything he brushed up
against wrestled most of his career without
ever saying a word.

3 The Big Show (The Waterboy)
Though it lasts only a couple of minutes, Big
Shows scene in The Waterboy as Captain Insano
a professional wrestler and hero to Adam
Sandlers titular character ultimately helps
set the tone for the rest of the film. In it, he
verbally abuses his fan for being too old to
watch wrestling, not to mention being a lowly
waterboy.

4 Hulk Hogan (Rocky 3)
One of the first major films to feature a
professional wrestler, Rocky 3 deserves a lot of
credit for allowing Hogan, considered by many to
be a sideshow act, to break into the motion
picture industry. The Hulksters character,
Thunderlips, wasnt much of a stretcha
professional wrestler paid to compete against
Rocky in a cross-promotional exhibition match.

5 Dwayne The Rock Johnson (The Rundown)
In the time since The Rock left the world of
sports-entertainment and dropped his in-ring
moniker, hes turned himself into a marketable
action star who can also get away with doing more
friendly fare. The Rundown is one of his first
attempts at a buddy action movie, pairing up with
Sean William Scott.
