Because I am obsessive about linking to thinks, here is an article about wrestlers in movies.

It gets extra points for putting Tor Johnson on the list, and Roddy in first place. It loses points for picking Andre in Conan instead of Princess Bride.

Their lack of love for Andre in Princess Bride forces me to dismiss their opinion entirely. FOOLS!

[thebitterguy]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if they are completely wrong.

I, myself, have never seen Conan, but Dagoth can't be as good as Fezzik.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Trust me, there is nothing redeeming about Conan The Destroyer - it was a complete waste of film. Even with Andre, Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, Olivia d'Abo, Mako, or whomever. It was crap, crap, crap.

But wasn't Conan played by Andre "The Giant" Schwarzenegger?

[thebitterguy]

Ahnuld played Conan, yah, but Andre played Dagoth.

I seem to recall something like that, stored somewhere in my withered memory cells. I think I just conflated them into one ueberfilmoccupyingmann. Clearly Conan played an important part in the my development...

I didn't bother to look at the list; were other "childrens" films disregarded in favour of more adult schlockiness for most of the rasslers?

[thebitterguy]

Nope. Just Andre.
