Well, Chris Jericho as long as it was not a WWE made film, which if you've seen them, you will know they are crap.

Chris Jericho is an honest and just man.

There are a number of wrestlers that have successfully made the transition to the silver screen, I don't see why more wont be able to. John Cena comes to mind as one that has already ventured in the more formal realm of acting, and has been successful at it.

The Rock is another wrestler that has made a success at acting. I have seen other wrestlers on the big screen, but not all of them have been good. Wrestling is a lot of acting anyway and I don't see much good acting there either.

This is true, then there are some famously bad examples of some wrestlers who have tried the transition. One that comes to mind is Rowdy Roddy Piper.

A lot have tried, but only the Rock has made a true success out of it. Stone cold Austin has made a few straight to DVD movies despite being one the most popular wrestlers of all time. I think it does depend on acting ability as well, although he won't win any oscars i like watching the rock, he was good in fast & furious, also in walking tall.

The Rock is my favorite wrestler who became an actor in Hollywood. He's now got a lot of great films under his belt like G.I. Joe and Fast and the Furious. I also think that John Cena would do good in Hollywood because he has a pretty good following. I think Kurt Angle would also do good with the right manager.

I think Roman Reigns could be the next Rock when the Shield fall apart, at least in WWE. If he gets as big as The Rock got I think he can get cast in some action movies as well.

I really love the Rock as an actor. I saw one movie with John Cena, "The Marine". It was okay. I really don't like Stone Cold as an actor it just always looks like he is angry and ready to wrestle.

I saw the The Marine as well and it was ok. I think that some of the wrestlers that have done one movie or the other tried to some extent. I've seen movies by John Cena, The Rock, Tripple H, Steve Austin and their acting was alright. Although, I prefer The Rock to the rest of 'em.

Chris Jericho and maybe CM Punk. Everyone else would just embarrass themselves. For proof see Cnea, Triple H or any other wrestler's movie who isn't called Roddy Piper or The Rock.
