I guess you can throw in Nash as well.

The wrestlers Ive seen in media the most have been Macho and Bret, but never in movies (Spiderman aside) just commercials and TV shows.

Nash actually has a few decent roles to his name, off hand I know he was in Magic Mike and Punisher
And Show was also in Waterboy, probably the best scene in that film.

he is also way above them cuz he actually went outside his regular wrestling gimmick and got over in the cinema on his own terms. Any movie staring Terry Bollea you can be sure he's just playing some offshoot of the Hulkster. Same goes for Dwayne Johnson and all his major roles.
Piper was not "rowdy" in they live, he was a real actor.
