i'm going to start here so according to the hollywood reporter they did the top 10 wrestlers turn

0:43.5

actors and they ranked them and i was a little bit surprised by their top three and how they named them

0:49.7

so number one was dave altista number two dwayne Johnson, and number three, John Cena.

0:57.0

So if you guys had to rearrange this list, I feel like it would look a little different.

1:01.6

Or do you guys agree with their top three?

1:03.3

Well, the Rock is a international movie star.

1:08.0

Dwayne Johnson should be number one.

1:09.5

Not to take anything away from Dave Batista, who's great. But he doesn't have... I'd put Hulk Hogan ahead of Dave Patista. Oh, he... Hulk Hogan was number seven on that list. Yeah. Mike, I think The Rock is the biggest wrestler-turned-actor star of all time, and it's not close. Well, there's no doubt. I mean, he's also, I think he's already a top 10 all-time box office guy on his own. But for me, like the actor that I enjoy the most out of that group right now is probably John Cena. And I never watched wrestling with John Cena. The only wrestling I really watched much is when I was a kid. I remember like the Ultimate Warrior and, you know, Rick Flair and Mr. Perfect. I remember watching a little bit then. But, yeah, John Sina, I love the show on HBO that now the title is escaping me, but where he's kind of like the superhero. Peacemaker, right? Yes, peacemaker. Never seen it.

2:01.5

It's hilarious.

2:02.3

Okay.

2:02.5

You would like it's on HBO.

2:03.7

During this NBA season, I watch season one.

2:06.2

I think that you will enjoy it.

2:07.8

2:13.1

Read the top seven.

2:15.1

You said Hogan was seven?

2:16.4

So, yeah.

2:16.9

So the top seven. You said Hogan was seven? So, yeah. So the top 10 goes. So obviously Dave Balthisa's one. Number two is The Rock, Wayne Johnson. Number three was John Cena. Number four, Routy, Roddy Piper. And then five, Adam Copeland. Six, Kevin Nash. Then you have Hoke Hogan at seven. Then eight was Paul White, which is the big show. Nine, Jesse Ventura, and then Andre the Giant, rounding up top. Yeah, Andre the Giant needs to be higher. Jesse, the Body, Ventura needs to be higher. I don't understand who made those rankings. What's the big thing that, like, what's Batista? I get that he's, is it Guardians of the Galaxy? Yeah. Marvel universe. universe okay so that's the thing that made him he's good he's good he's just not as big of

2:56.5

a star as the rock okay fast track well one show that drops today is supposed to be pretty big so
