Professional wrestlers are athletes — we won't argue that. But they are also actors.
No wonder they tend to turn up in television and movies more than other sports heroes. The '80s and '90s were the golden era of the WWF, when wrestlers with colorful personalities and costume slapped each other around in the ring. Wrestlemania made them stars, leading to cartoons, toys and even ice cream bars.
Just take the following TV cameos, for example. Wrestlers turned up in sitcoms, action shows and late night. See if you can name them all!
-
This Wrestlemania icon appeared in The Love Boat episode "Who's the Champ."

You sure know your wrestlers. It figures! Damn right I know my wrestling. I've been a wrestling fan since the 70s, that's back when Andre Roussimoff was Geant Jean Ferre (anglicized: Giant John Ferray) right here in Montreal.

11/11, anyone remember the episode of Baywatch that Hulk Hogan, Randy Machoman Savage, Ric Flair and Vader all appeared in?

9/11! Fun fact: Hulk was also on "Search For Tomorrow"! Of course, we now know 3 as Dwayne Johnson, his real name.
8 out of 11, kind of tough. They left out some of older ones, like Bobo Brazil, the famous coco but
The Sheik as well. It would be great if you could edit your posting
I remember the Iron Sheik! I would like to see what a coco butt looks like and isn't Bobo the bald idiot who calls Howard Stern...LOL!!!
This was basically WWE superstars
Just your garden variety headbutt.
