Do You Smell What Black Adam Is Cooking?

He hasn't really been bad in anything, he's just been in bad movies.

Random thought on who should play captain marvel...

Predator.

Not blockbusters, but I really enjoyed The Rundown and Walking Tall. He was good in Pain & Gain and Hercules, and definitely wasn't the reason those weren't good movies. Shit like Tooth Fairy and The Game Plan is really no worse than Kindergarten Cop, Kindergarten Cop just has a funny sound board because of how bad Arnold is with English. When he did the Ladies Man skit in drag on SNL, I about pissed myself laughing.

Unrelated to The Rock, The Longest Yard is a great example of pro wrestlers being great on screen. Kevin Nash in particular, once they swapped his pills, was fucking hysterical.

Rocky 3 and that 3 ninjas movie!

He died early, but he had no time to bleed.

Ventura was one of the first idiots killed, did he have any lines? Yes I'm sure the awesomeness of predator was carried on the backs of acting greats such as jess the conspiracy Ventura, try again.

The Running Man
Black Rain
Road House
They Live
Friday
The Fifth Element
The Longest Yard
Goldfinger
Spider-Man
Blazing Saddles
Blade: Trinity

I can keep going, but I'm going to bed instead.

Still laughing at you trying to weasel out of the Predator example lol

5th Element and Friday are Tiny Lister I assume. I don't think he was actually a wrestler by profession until he did that movie with Hulk Hogan(No Holds Barred) where they brought him in to help promote the movie. He's really more an actor that wrestled a little bit than a wrestler that acted.

Also Jerry Lawler did a good job as Jerry Lawler in Man on the Moon.

Blade: Trinity

While you have some great examples, this is not one of them.
