Multi-time WWE World Champion Edge got his comic book groove on when he starred as the chief antagonist for an episode of The Flash in 2015. The WWE Hall of Famer is currently enjoying a comeback that many in pro wrestling never thought possible.

While he was away from the industry, Edge spent time getting into acting and starring in shows like Haven and Vikings. In this episode of The Flash, Edge plays Atom Smasher who can manipulate his size and strength. So, in a way, it's a physical manifestation of his WWE nickname, "The Master Manipulator".

Edge said that he really enjoyed the role because of the physical stuff it involved. He said:

"It was also great to be able to do a lot of the physical stuff involved so you won't have to see a stunt guy come in there and take over. I was doing the stuff that was asked, so that was cool."

It's interesting to see whether Edge goes in entertainment after he's done with WWE for good. But on recent evidence, it won't be anytime soon.


#5 Big Show in Star Trek: Enterprise (2004)

Most WWE fans know Big Show as larger than life and is one of more decorated WWE Superstars of all time. His list of achievements is quite remarkable. He is a multi-time WWE World Champion, a multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion and has won other singles titles as well.

Acting is not something the Big Show was alien to. By this point, He already appeared in bit roles in films like The Waterboy and Jingle All The Way. In 2004, he took the role of Orion Slaver #1 as he bellowed his way through the role.

What is fascinating about this scene is how easily he lifts Cmdr. T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) easily as he puts up for sale in the auction. Through the course of the episode, Big Show's scenes are limited. Essentially, he plays the role of evil bad guy who throws his prisoners around.

Interestingly, his last scene in this episode is when he tells T'Pol, as she tries to escape, that he will keep her for himself. She gets away by low blowing him. So in a sense, it's nothing new that Big Show hadn't face in a WWE arena.
