This is my first thread here so I hope you guys like it. I picked this section as I feel for the time period it belongs, but if not feel free to move it.
I have been a life long WWE fan and have watched several periods in the company. As a child I was a big fan of action movies as well. As the years went on I began to see more and more wrestlers in other roles such as Hogan in movies, Stone Cold in Nash Bridges, Vader on Boy Meets World, etc. And after witnessing all of this I began to wonder, "Why hasnt the reverse happened?"
Now of course this wasnt for any actors, but more like action stars, or at least one in specific. And that brings me to the man I alluded to in the title:
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I have been a huge fan or Arnold throughout my life. I have seen every single one of his films and my all time favorite movie is Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Though out my life I have wondered what would have happened if Arnold had been a wrestler, and that is what I am asking of you:
How big would Arnold have been if he became a professional wrestler?
Now this isnt to say whether or not he started out as a professional wrestler, even though you can add that possibility in if you want along with the answer to the question. This is to say what would have happened, if in the peak of his popularity Arnold jumped ship to a wrestling organization, say WWE?
I personally feel he would have been massive, garnering huge ratings and on top of that drawing huge crowds. The man was already larger than life and massive in physic and power, so he could have easily fit into the industry. On top of this he already had rather big friends in the industry such as Superstar Billy Graham which could have been used to build up his credibility.
I would like to think that Arnold would have been a wrester of the same caliber as Hulk Hogan, and possibly even bigger than him(though this is probably more or less my "fanboyism" towards him).
So what do you think? How big would Arnold Schwarzenegger have been if he had jumped ship in his peak of popularity?

Note: This thread is about Arnold Schwarzenegger specifically, not about actors or people from other sports in general. If you would like to talk about them then do so AFTER you have posted about Arnold.
