Potential Movie Star #7: Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman began his career as a strong man competitor, competing in the Arnold Amateur Strongman classic. While the biggest finish he ever had was fifth place overall, he would still be impressive enough to get on the WWE's radar, having scouted him at a competition.
Braun joined the developmental league of NXT but rarely wrestled on television while he completed his training. He made his main roster debut as the black sheep of the Wyatt family and quickly distinguished himself due to--what else?--his massive size and strength.
Braun has been a tag team champion and is also a one-time WWE universal champion. He has developed a reputation for flipping over and destroying vehicles, and now there is even an action figure playset that allows fans to relive these moments.
Why he would make a good actor: It's hard to imagine Braun as a romantic or even heroic lead, but he would make a great villain for a Marvel or DC movie. Slap a mask on him and you have a Bane that would make the caped crusader wet his tights!
