3 great and 3 terrible movies featuring WWE Superstars

#1 Great: They Live

A true cult classic!

Of all the popular wrestlers who tried their hands at acting in the 80s, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper takes the top spot.

Piper was one of the main headliners in the WWE even though he never won the world title, but he made his presence felt, and had many classic moments in the horror film, They Live.

Aliens have invaded planet earth, but they are in the form of humans, and only Piper can see them by wearing his special sunglasses. He has a memorable street fight and classic lines like,

"I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass....and I'm all out of bubblegum".

Sure, the dialogues in this film weren't the greatest, and they relied heavily on random violence, but Piper really knocked it out of the park.

Terrible: Mr. Nanny

This film was just flat out terrible!

Hulk Hogan in a ballerina dress. What could be so bad about that?

In 1993, Hulk Hogan teamed up with George Jefferson to create one of the worst wrestling movies of all time. Though Mr. Nanny did not focus entirely on wrestling, the once mighty Hulkster did play a retired wrestler, whose arch nemesis is his former ring manager.

The movie is a rip off of the Home Alone franchise, in which children play insane practical tricks on blundering adults. After the movie bombed, Hogan washed back onto the shore of Connecticut and into Vince McMahon's awaiting playland.
