I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Going back to Wrestlers as Hollywood stars/Actors.

Any half successful wrestler should have a walk up head start in becoming an actor. Because:

They are experienced performers, with experience performing under lights on the big stage, or face to face in a bingo hall somewhere in Gary Indiana.
They are experienced in the mindset of "the show must go on", where they are prepared to adapt live and on the fly to setbacks, and will continue to get to the stated end goal as smoothly as possible.
If they are anywhere near successful they should be charismatic enough that people in the back row want to watch them, and personable/engaging enough that they can interact with people in the front row.
If they spent time in WWE, they have learned how to memorize scripts. And memorize them quickly. Because they were often given them 2 minutes before curtains up.

And 2 things that are very important for comedy actors:
They are used to and have no problem with losing/looking the fool to someone they know is in real life a lesser performer.
And they have impeccable physical timing. Knowing when, and how much to react.

I was tellpng my friends this when they were surprised at how funny and entertaining Cena was in Suicide Squad/Peacemaker. The man is a natural comedian.

And more wrestlers, if given the chance, would be too.

I imagine Roman, Brock, Ronda have to be the most known and 2 of them are known for non WWE things.
Cody maybe but i don't think he has ever got into the mainstream.

How many non wrestling people these days know Cena and Rock were wrestlers? Or would even know who Rock is and then have an OHHHHHH moment when you say Dwayne Johnson? Or know who Cena is until you say Peacemaker?

(or know Roman is anyone at all you're supposed to be impressed by in Hobbs and Shaw)

not a joke, Sheamus literally does seem to be one of the few wrestlers that have stuck out in people's mind over the past decade+.

I think non-wrestling people could tell you that Rock/Batista/Cena were Wrestlers but could not tell you a single thing they actually did as wrestlers. They're just "That guy that was in WWE and now he does Movies."

Yeah, when I was getting back into wrestling and started watching Raw again, Sheamus stuck out because he is so pale that he practically glows on TV. Most everyone else is covered in oil and bronzer, but if you had told me then that Sheamus has spent his entire life avoiding the sun as much as humanly possible I'd have believe you

Sheamus does actually have to stay out of sunlight so as not to ruin his look

My favorite thing about the Cena meme was how when asked about it, you could tell that he wasn't a fan and was kind of annoyed by it. Meanwhile, Orton was laughing his rear end off for about a month thanks to the RKO memes making the rounds.
