From body slams to box office gold, the path from the wrestling ring to Hollywood has been walked by legends, icons, and a few surprises along the way. In this action-packed episode of Pop Culture Roulette, we’re diving headfirst into the glitz, the glam, and the grappling to determine once and for all: who is the greatest wrestler-turned-actor of all time?

Using our tried-and-true bracket format, we pit heavy-hitters like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dave Bautista, and John Cena against cult favorites and unexpected scene-stealers like Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash, Andre the Giant, and Ronda Rousey. Can charisma beat championships? Does versatility matter more than muscle? And will the winner be a box office juggernaut or a beloved underdog?

Expect fierce debate, surprise upsets, and plenty of suplex-level hot takes as we whittle down the competition and crown the king (or queen) of Wrestlewood!
