Generally wrestlers and wrestling angles are not known for their gravitas, for their ability to portray a wide range of emotions effectively without coming out across as cheesy. This is one of the rare exceptions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uifU32pZRyQ

I still argue for Linda McMahon during the whole Comatose storyline where her husband would be hardcore frenching with Trish in front of her and she never flenches.

I feel like the Professional Wrestling Academy Award would have to go to The World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry. For his performance in, "Fake Retirement."

Mick Foley in either Cane Dewey or the 1996 Mankind sit-down interviews. Or maybe some other moment. But I've always firmly believed Mick was the best actor in wrestling.

Going by the noises Hogan was making, I thought it was his sex tape.

Dude might be gone now, but it takes a lot to nail one character, much less three and play three at once. Even though at times I really thought Cactus Jack and Mankind were a little too similar but he did define them by the end. Whatever I won't do.. This guy's sick enough to do it. Which is why Cactus Jack was so limited in WWE.

It took her ages but she finally found a role she was great at. Being an emotionless zombie. That said the pop when zombie Linda stood up. Wow.

Gotta say early Goldust. As a little kid, I had no idea it was Dustin Rhodes behind those promos until he got in the ring and took his wig off.

His promos during the Orton feud were also incredible. The first one after he came back where he started yelling and punching himself in the head while Orton looked scared shitless like "what the hell did I get myself into" is a great example of good acting in wrestling by everyone involved.

Floyd Mayweather. During his feud with Show there wasn't a second where he wasn't selling it. Mad respect for being so commited. There's a moment where Show is stepping on him and screams like a little girl.
