Goldberg was Da Man in WCW and is a bonafide legend in WWE. There is no doubt he made an undeniable impact in the pro wrestling industry. Like others, Goldberg constantly starred in movies like Universal Soldier: The Return, The Longest Yard, and even TV shows like CW's The Flash.

Goldberg was in an opening segment on the hit NBC series Law and Order: SVU in 2007. He plays a psychotic man who seems unstoppable and is high on PCP. Goldberg breaks free from his restraints and proceeds to wreak havoc while looking for a woman named Barbie. He throws Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) through a window. Even a stun gun cannot keep him down until Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) hits him with a chair and goes down.

Considering that this former WWE Champion didn't feature anywhere else in the episode, it seemed his main job was to put Stabler out of commission. Even more so, it seemed unclear who Goldberg was supposed to be other than start the episode with a literal bang. Interestingly, the writers used a wrestling trope to end his scene. If this were WWE, this would be a clear example of bad booking.

Edge is now enjoying a comeback that many in the WWE Universe didn't think possible. He has defied the odds to be featured in two hard-hitting matches with Randy Orton. Over time, Edge has built quite a resume with his roles in Vikings and The Flash. But his foray to entertainment outside WWE wasn't the best start.

The film was an entry in the successful Highlander franchise, which spawned a hit TV-series, and this film featured the coming together of both the film and TV universe. Following the adventures of Immortal Duncan MacLeod, who teams up with his cousin, Connor MacLeod, as they battle a fellow immortal.

In a flashback scene, Edge plays a country thief in Ireland, who gets into a tussle with Duncan and Connor, as the pair stop Edge and his bandits from trying to rip off noblewoman. Edge probably has a couple of lines followed by groaning and growling. It should be known that the film was promoted on WWE SmackDown with the film's cast coming down to the show.

Suffice to say, Edge's film debut was a true cameo in the truest sense of the word.
