B-Generation X | Ep. 017 | Suplexes & Screenplays: Wrestling Meets Hollywood (Movie Episode)

In this special cinematic edition of the B-Generation X Podcast, we're tag-teaming two of our favorite worlds—movies and wrestling! We dive into wrestling-inspired films like The Wrestler, The Iron Claw, and the cult classic Nacho Libre, and talk about how these flicks captured the heart (and body slams) of pro wrestling.

We then spotlight the legendary wrestlers who made the leap to the silver screen—Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Macho Man, Jesse Ventura, The Rock, John Cena, Goldberg, Triple H, Kane, and more—and how they bodyslammed their way into Hollywood. We also flip the script and talk actors who stepped into the ring and held their own.

Plus, we list some of the wildest cameos wrestlers have made in movies and TV over the years—and wrap it all up by predicting which of today's rising stars might be the next big breakout on screen.

And of course, we’re back with another round of “Time To Play The Game”—can you guess if it’s a wrestling promo, a movie quote, or both?
