With WWE making use of a Sports-Entertainment hybrid of acting and athleticism, they have naturally become a feeder for Hollywood. The likes of the Rock, John Cena and Batista all rank among former WWE Champions who have made their debuts on the big-screen.
But there are others who opt for the less glamorous side of the filming business. Some WWE Superstars have had very different film roles assigned to them. So let’s take a look at three of the biggest stars to have entered the adult film industry.
#3 Sunny
Sunny, otherwise known as Tammy Sytch, was a huge hit with the male demographic during the 90s. She made the transition to pornographic film when she stepped away from the ring. At one time she was the most downloaded person on AOL and started posing for Missy Hyatt’s adult site, Wrestling Vixxxens.
Sunny later signed a deal with Vivid Entertainment to star in an adult film. She was said to have angered WWE after wearing her Hall of Fame ring during the film. Sytch further made money with OnlyFans, which she has used to make money with revealing pictures.
The Hall of Famer is currently in a world of trouble with the law, potentially serving up to 26 years in jail after vehicular crimes.
#2 Candice Michelle
Candice Michelle came through to WWE via the Divas Search program and became a popular fixture with fans. She has held the Women’s and 24/7 Championships with the company.
Prior to breaking into the wrestling business, she was an aspiring actress and had featured in a number of B-movies. She starred in softcore productions Hogtie Heaven and Hotel Erotica.
Michelle became known as the “Go-Daddy girl” after recurring appearances in adverts for the internet domain provider. She also appeared in Playboy magazine.
#1 Chyna
The late, great Chyna differentiates herself from others on this list for the fact she could very well have been the first women’s WWE Champion if given the chance. She was an iconic star both by herself and alongside the legendary faction, D-Generation X, capturing both the Women’s and Intercontinental titles before her retirement.
She made a home-made movie with fellow D-X member X-Pac following her wrestling career, which turned out to be successful. Following that she starred in a sequel before signing a deal with adult film company Vivid Video.
In total, she appeared in three separate films for the company. She has been recognized for her wrestling talents with a WWE Hall of Fame induction alongside D-X.
