Wrestling in Movies

This page contains two major parts:
The first section is one with selected movies, who have as a major goal showing the world of Professional Wrestling.
The second section contains individual wrestlers and their "curriculum vitae" in the world of movies and TV.

How to find one if the list gets really big? Just remember their Last Name, that's the "Capital" you're looking for: f.e. "Rowdy" Roddy P iper. (In case you don't know, you have to browse the whole list... or go see a doctor...)

Ofcourse roomspace allows only short descriptions of the said (wrestling) movies or series. Just go see them for yourself if you want to know if they are any good.... I haven't seen them all either, you know!

The purpose is to let the fans know in which movie their favourite appears.
Everything YOU can add is very welcome here.
Ofcourse this is a page in a forever building stage, so come back for more, if you like...
