Wrestlers in Movies, 20th Century Edition

  1. Roddy Piper, They Live, 1988

Great fight scene with Keith David, recreated in Saints Row 4 (where both Roddy and Keith were companion NPCs). Also, while probably not the first time he said it, Piper’s quote “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

  4. Kevin Nash, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, 1991
  5. Stanislaus Zbyszko, Night and the City, 1950

Zbyszko plays an old veteran wrestler who, in his first scene, walks out in disgust on a then-modern day style of wrestling match that he denounces as a “circus”. Complaining about how phony the current wrestling is compared to how it used to be is nothing new, apparently.
