Ep. 456: Who are the best wrestlers turned actors?

Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are shocked to see WWE’s partnership with ESPN manifest itself VERY early.

Wrestlepalooza will air live at the end of September from Indianapolis. But there are a lot of issues revealing themselves in the modern WWE streaming portals– Lindsey will explain that no matter how much you’re paying for Netflix, you’re still dealing with ads.

The Main Event:

Hollywood reporter published a list of what they call the best wrestlers turned actors. That has inspired a LOT of opinions. What actually makes for a good transition? Is it acting ability? Range? Box office appeal? And who ACTUALLY has made the jump most effectively?

The Three Count:

Danielle put over Iyo x Rhea.

Lindsey put over Roman acknowledging regional pronunciation.

Hal put over Chelsea Green's Wrestlemania 2000 knowledge.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
