I'm honestly surprised that some aren't saying The Rock. He makes about 10 million a movie when he's in a starring role, & has had hit movies where he's the actual star of the film. Batista has only lead direct to dvd movies & is the 4th or 5th lead in the big theatrical movies he's in. Batista is actually a pretty decent actor, but his career doesn't even compare to The Rocks. The Rock is the only guy that's ever been bigger than the wrestling business itself.

I'm pretty sure The Rock was the biggest box office draw in the world at one point so that goes without saying.

There's literally no defensible way to try to argue anyone but The Rock. He has featured, starring roles in blockbuster after blockbuster, he was the top-grossing actor in 2013, and his film career is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Did The Rock ever fight Dracula? ![](http://www.gothic.stir.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/santoybluevsdracula.jpg) El Santo fought motherf***ing Dracula.

The Rock is a mega star. Bautista is not, but he's got a very promising career. The Rock is someone who could host SNL and be the main guest on The Tonight Show. Bautista isn't there yet. From Guardians, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper are all bigger stars than Bautista. Bautista's star will only get bigger with the highly anticipated Spectre, the sequel to Guardians, and other Marvel films.

Let's be real honest. Dave looks like he's gonna have a fine career as a featured player, but he's never gonna be a leading man that drives a movie or franchise. Rock already is.

There is no question, The Rock is the best case of a wrestler transitioning to Hollywood, hands-down.
Hulk Hogan should get credit for being the first mega-star of wrestling to try his hand at a film career, though.

Ernest The Cat Miller?
I voted for Piper because he's the best actor. Although on that basis I should have voted for Mick Foley!

For some information, Fast and Furious 6 made more money than Guardians. Furious 7 already made more money than Guardians and could reach a billion dollars worldwide.
It's the Rock. Even garbage like Snitch gets an advertising campaign when if it was Batista, it's released on Direct-to-DVD to disappear.

RottenTomatoes and everybody just pointing to a critic consensus number on the net at every opportunity is a pet peeve. Since we're just basing who has the best movie career on aggregate review percentages and box office numbers, what part do we actually have an opinion on? ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I'll say personally I think Big Dave is overrated so far due to one really good performance, other than that he's been fairly wooden in movies. I think Hulk Hogan in Suburban Commando is a lot better than Batista in Wrong Side of Town. I do love the Fast and Furious movies, and The Rock is great, but he's a pretty small part of those movies. I'm gonna give the vote to Hulk because I've gotten so much enjoyment out of the insanity of Mr. Nanny and whatnot over the years. Hogan has more personality than Big Dave I'd say, long live the mustache!

If you're going by quality, the Princess Bride was better than any movie any of those others have done, with They Live close behind.

Roddy Piper since all the others (maybe excluding Andre) have only done really shitty movies. At the risk of repeating myself, Jesse Ventura was in f***ing Predator. Oh, okay. I have to admit that I missed that one. Was he a main actor in it, though? Piper was the protagonist of "They Live!". I consider "The Wrestler" a really good movie, but I wouldn't say that Ernest Miller had the best movie career, because he was in it. Considering The Rock: I totally forgot about "Pain & Gain". Now, that WAS a decent movie, but The Rock was playing a dumb bodybuilder which is not THAT hard and it wasn't really him that carried to movie, so it's still Piper to me, damnit!
