Because the nature of professional wrestling is make-believe, every wrestler is also an actor. But the standards of acting acceptable in a wrestling show are far inferior to that in any other television program, in my opinion.
I thought that Ace Austin and Alicia Edwards in particularly were awful as they enacted a sequence designed to make Eddie Edwards jealous. I think that Eddie for his part can do justice to his role of a crazed and deranged madman and jealous husband, but unfortunately the other two fall short.

Honestly, this is a storyline that could be better served by say, having Johnny, Taya, and Ace do it because Johnny and Taya actually seem like better actors. Alicia Edwards has a long way to go before she reaches the requisite level.
That said, Ace Austin vs. Eddie Edwards could be a pretty good feud, especially to elevate the former.
