Mine pretty much comes down to this, I like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as an actor, regardless of his wrestling career -- he's charismatic.
Outside of that, I can't say I really cared for any of em save for Andre the Giant.

Andre gave a great performance in TPB.
Rock has a lot of natural charisma, but I don't think much of his acting ability.
Piper is a little better, but not much. He has had some decent low budget action pics though.
Terry Funk is terrific, but his roles are mostly just background tough guy. Same with Jesse Ventura.
Hogan is shit. Always has been.
Austin was okay in The Condemned. Not that it required much.
Cena was the worst thing about The Marine.
As for guys like Tanaka, Hard Boiled Haggerty, Mike Mazurki, etc. they never really got a chance to show anything since they played mostly monosyllabic thugs.

Has anyone seen Rey Mysterio in Wrestlemaniac?
