Matt Hardy is another example of a WWE Superstar who has managed to stay relevant and keep changing his persona to suit the times. Hardy is both an innovator and is creatively sound to think on the spot and charisma to match it. Surprisingly, he hasn't been featured in more TV Show and Movie appearances considering that he can do so.

He managed to put his talents to the test on an episode of the SyFy channel Scare Tactics. At this point, Matt Hardy was in WWE's version of ECW as it's pointed out that he is an ECW Superstar. The show was a horror-themed prank show with people being set up by their friends and loved ones.

Jesse 'The Body' Ventura is perhaps one of the unsung heroes of professional wrestling. There was no doubting, his charisma, presence, or even his in-ring ability. Interestingly, he never won a WWE title in his time with the company but did become a WWE Hall of Famer in 2004.

Ventura probably achieved more fame when he became the Governor of Minnesota in 1998. He even officiated a WWE SummerSlam match in 1999 as a special guest referee for the main event featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and Mankind.

In other entertainment platforms, Jesse Ventura had success with a significant role in the sci-fi classic Predator and appearances in Small Wonder. In Demolition Man, he practically plays a hoodlum with no lines and shoots another character. The film starred the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.

Considering that Ventura was no novice to the acting scene, it's unfortunate that he's only listed as CryoCon and didn't have any lines in the movie. Perhaps, the silver lining is that Demolition Man is now considered a classic with its commentary on a future that in 2020 seems quite apt.
