Dave Bautista has named Terry Crews as the actor who could become a champion in the WWE.
The WWE legend is appearing alongside Crews in his upcoming movie The Killer’s Game. His experiences with the actor have led Bautista to believe that Terry Crews could be a WWE Superstar, if he put his mind to it.
Dave Bautista appeared on Buzzfeed Celeb. He was asked which of his co-stars would be able to make the jump into professional wrestling.
The former WWE Champion instantly named Terry Crews as a potential future champion. He cited not just his physicality, but also his charisma that would make the White Chicks star successful in the wrestling business.
“Terry Crews, all day long. Terry Crews, without blinking, could be a WWE Superstar. He’s not only physically able, but his charisma and personality are off the charts. He’d go there, and within a week, he’d be world champion.”
Dave Bautista: CM Punk’s Potential As An Actor Is Unlimited
Dave Bautista was also asked about which WWE Superstars could make it as an actor. He named CM Punk as having “unlimited potential”, and would love to see more of him in front of the camera, rather than in the ring.
“You know who I think is really overlooked as an actor? I don’t know if he hasn’t pursued it as much as he’d like to because he’s still heavily pursuing professional wrestling? CM Punk, Phil Brooks,” he said. “His potential in acting is pretty unlimited. I really want to see more from him in acting, and I’d actually love to work with him.
“I think he has a passion for acting, but I think still his heart is in professional wrestling, and until he’s able to let that go a little bit, he’ll never be able to fully envelop himself in acting. But I think he’s a great actor.”
