Hulk Hogan in Rocky 3.
Wrestling is all acting.The Rock is a good actor but I like the old school wrestlers like Nature Boy Rick Flair,The Macho Man Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior,Legion of Doom.
Brother Love and Paul Bearer also were loony characters.:smilie4:

Yeah that movie was actually quite good.Agreed. It was surprisingly enjoyable actually. It was along the lines of a Coach Carter type of movie.

I dunno, I haven't watched it yet :P

It looks like a B-Grade movie with a wrestling actor to draw attention.

Here's the IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437179/

The only reason I know about it is because I was looking for "Hear No Evil, See No Evil", the comedy with Richard Pryor, about a deaf man who saw a murder and a blind man who heard it :D.
