5 Internationally Acclaimed WWE Action Figures

By Rebecca Morris


Wresting undoubtedly is an interesting sport to watch. With millions of viewers all across the globe, the WWE has made a name for itself in the world of wrestling entertainment. While some of its top stars have never ventured out of the wrestling realm, others have progressed to establish vibrant careers in the big screen. This article takes a look at some of the most successful WWE action figures the world has seen thus far.

Film bigwig Dwayne Johnson, commonly referred to by his wrestling moniker The Rock, indisputably falls at the top of the list. When he started wrestling in the 1990s, he worked his way up to become famous. His first big accomplishment came with the opportunity to play the main role in The Scorpion King, a big screen hit.

The movie garnered many awards upon its launch. Later on, he played different roles in many popular films, including the Fast and Furious series. Nowadays, The Rock has created his own brand as producers scramble to get a piece of him for their films.

Multiple time champion John Cena is another man to watch. After joining the federation in the early 2000s, he progressed and changed the way viewers saw wrestling. His personal style made it more funky and interesting to watch. This earned him the glorious opportunity to get cast for the WWE produced action movie called The Marine. Thereafter, he landed both major and minor roles in many Hollywood movies.

Another performer who often gets little credit for his achievements is Stone Cold Steve Austin. Most viewers know little about his achievements outside the ring. Regardless of this, there are films he as partaken in that are household names all over the world. Some of them include The Condemned, The Expendables and Recoil. Since his retirement from wrestling and the release of these three films, he has been relatively quiet on the acting front.

Dave Batista, a veteran of the WWE who won the world championship six times, is a big name in Hollywood too. During his heydays in wrestling, his roles were largely villainous. His persona pretty much remained the same at the start of his acting career. Most of his acting roles are villainous. Some successful films credited to him include Kickboxer, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Man with the Iron Fists and the James Bond movie, Spectre.

Randy Orton, a thirteen time world champion, is also a successful actor. Over the course of his career, he has successfully managed to juggle between acting and wrestling. He is famously known for being the youngest world champion the wrestling federation has ever produced. He broke the record at the age of 24. Some notable action films he stars in include 12 Rounds 2, The Condemned 2 and Countdown.

While many noteworthy stars still exist, the truth is that wrestling is one great platform for interested wrestlers to hone their acting skills. As producers keep spending more money in writing new scripts for their movies, there is little doubt about the bright future that aspiring actors in the wrestling realm have. Viewers, on the other hand, can look forward to more entertainment.
