On the same “Wrestling with Freddie” podcast episode, Prinze Jr. also named his worst wrestler-turned-actor.
“And then we get to the worst of the bunch — Hulk Hogan,” Prinze Jr. said. “That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, your hero from the 80s that told you to take vitamins, and lied about steroids, and, well, just about everything he’s ever talked about … But what’s important is not ‘Rocky 3,’ — I’ll give him that. In ‘Rocky 3’ he was actually good. He just had to play a menacing, crazy guy, which is cool. But then we get to these gems known as ‘No Holds Barred,’ ‘Suburban Commando,’ ‘Three Ninjas.’
“‘Suburban Commando,’ I think that was the one with the speedboat. That was the roughest one to get through. I go to movies wanting to find something to like. I don’t go there looking to hate on these things. This was unwatchable.”
Hulk Hogan’s first movie appearance came in 1982, when he played Thunderlips in “Rocky III.” He then portrayed Rip Thomas in No Holds Barred seven years later, before appearing as himself in “Gremlins 2: The New Batch” the following year. Hogan played Shep Ramsey in “Suburban Commando” in 1991. He appeared in “3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain” in 1998. The WWE Hall of Famer’s most recent movie role came in 2011, where he was the voice of Terrafirminator V.O. in “Gnomeo & Juliet.”
