How come wrestlers never got the same respect as Denzel and Daniel Day Lewis ?

[Benefited]

As a kid you didn't realize these guys were acting,but once you are old enough to realize you have to admit how talented they are.

Daniel Day Lewis was applauded for staying in character to be Abraham Lincoln while the movie was filmed. But Ric Flair stayed in character for about 50 years or more

Heath Ledger lost his mind being the dark character of the Joker,but Undertaker and Mankind were doing the same thing and didn't have scripts

Some of these guys deserve life time achievement awards for their careers in acting.

because wrestling is seen as lowbrow.

Wrestling is the popular jock in a family of carnies.

Name 5 wrestlers that successfully crossed over to acting.

I'll wait.



Wrestlers are good at playing a version of themselves. Thats it.

I think they realized they are wrong,as we can see The Rock being the most succesful leading man in Hollywood

Some of these guys play several characters over the course of their careers convincingly,yet were supposed to be impressed by Leonardo Dicaprio. Unscripted I might add,meaning they are their own writer,producer and actor,thats a triple threat.

The Rock,Batista,Stone Cold are 3. But how many of them really got into acting seriously?Plus why are we talking about crossing over when that is there proffesion?

How can they be a version of themselves when many play multiple characters?and seem much different from their character in real life?

The Rock doesn't seem like the Rock at all when you see him in real life. Now how many actors have crossed over into wrestling?I think we have seen quite a few stink it up.

Plus how many actors do their own stunts?Denzel and Jackie Chan rolled into one and your trying to downplay it lol.

I wouldve said John Cena over Steve Austin. Stone Cold cant acting his way out of a wet paper bag.

And why would a good actor cross over to wrestling?

Make 10 million on 90 days of light film work per movie or be lucky to make 3 mil and do 90+ shows a year busting your body up every night in a slave deal to Vince McMahon.



Its the reason EVERY wrestler tries to cross over to acting.

Because they only become one character. That’s not acting, that’s just deciding on a bit and sticking with it. Actors can change characters with greater ease and have a wider variety of range when it comes to expression
