Honestly....can't you just see this man chasing after teenagers with an Axe on the silver screen?

Luke Harper recently passed away due to lung related complications. But his fabled WWE career and trademark expressions made him an ideal fit for our top ten list.

Harper had an unusual start to his pro wrestling career. He started out as a backyard wrestler, and his name was Huberboy #2 if you can believe that.

He would eventually receive more formal training for the ring, and distinguished himself in the Chikara promotion. Luke developed a reputation for being able to keep up with the quickness of cruiserweights and luchadores, a huge plus when working on the independent scene.

He finally made it to the big leagues in 2012 when he joined WWE's NXT brand and was kept with the Wyatt family when the group made their main roster debut. Luke Harper is a former Intercontinental and tag team champion and a potential world champion.

Why he would be a good actor: While we could'nt imagine Luke Harper being the dashing leading man, he would have made a great villain for a horror/slasher film. He could also have played any type of redneck right out of the box, probably in his street clothes.
