Kurt Angle himself tried his luck a number of times in the world of acting but he mostly failed. It is funny that he even appeared in an Indian TV series called Balveer. It was a cameo appearance where he got beaten up by the protagonist of the TV series. This cameo appearance is not very much remembered by the Indian audience.
Insight from Kurt Angle: The Wrestler-Turned-Actor He Considers the Best in the Business
There are a number of wrestlers who tried their luck in an acting career, and some of them became pretty much successful. If you ask people about which wrestler turned actor is the most successful, normally you will hear the name of Dwayne Johnson whom we also refer to as The Rock. He is not only a big star of Hollywood but a Megastar.
But the Olympic gold medalist here had some different ideas about the best wrestler turned actor. He does not think that Dwayne Johnson is the best wrestler turned actor. Speaking on the latest episode of his “The Kurt Angle Show” podcast, the Olympic gold medalist confirmed that he believed it was Batista and not someone else;
Kurt Angle Shares Praise For Batista
On Batista’s jump to Hollywood and giving Batista a black eye in 2005: “I don’t remember giving him a black eye, but I will say that Batista at this point in his career was, I thought Triple H did a really good job of mentoring him. He was really good at this point in his career. So if he’s listening, please keep doing your movies and stay away from me. It’s incredible, I’m so proud of him.
Angle continued, “Seeing how far he’s come, doing all the Marvel movies and just all the other movies, he’s doing so many different things, become a big star. He’s so personal. You know what, I’m not gonna lie to you. He might be the best wrestling actor in Hollywood right now. He might be.”
Batista has become quite famous in Hollywood and he has performed amazingly in the movies he has acted in. He has also received a regular spot in the Marvel Universe which is a huge achievement. We are not sure if he is on the level of Dwayne Johnson yet, but he is doing a great job. We can surely say that he still has a huge career left in Hollywood.
