I realised it was in jest, truth be told I just damn well wanted to use the fork analogy. :D Personally I also can't see Trips doing a good job, but that's because I despise wrestlers who appear in a leading role. God knows Doom would have been better if they didn't end it with the obvious fisticuffs to shit all over the continuity of the storyline because Mr Rock was co lead man. =/

I don't mean to offend wrestlers and/or wrestling fans, but I really can't see any of the current pro-wrestlers to be a good actor. I considered The Rock as the most charismatic wrestler back then. He had a big chance to make it in the Hollywood, but so far, despite being in numerous movies as leading character, he hadn't really shown superstar quality on the big screen. He has the looks, he has the skill, and he has the support. But it doesn't/hasn't work(ed) out.
If The Rock couldn't really make it, I don't think Triple H would be successful as he is less talented than The Rock in my opinion.
While there's no doubt that Triple can act, wrestling is not exactly like acting in a movie. Wrestling has acting as an element of the whole package (other elements include gimmick, looks, technical ability, theme songs, etc). Acting in a movie is the whole package. There's a big difference between the two. Just because you are good at running marathon, doesn't mean that you're a good 100m sprinter. Both has running involved, but one relied on endurance while the other just go nuts in 9-10 seconds of running as fast as you can.
Also, when in wrestling, the scope of acting is much more limited as characters tend to be one dimensional according to their gimmick (e.g.: a badass character will always act badass). Acting in a movie often tend to include different emotions despite playing the same character. So to me, acting in wrestling is much easier than in the big screen.
Not to say wrestler will never be successful as an actor though. It's just that I don't think the current wrestlers are able to do so. But then again, it might depend on the role too.

Well, they can use a real hammer (a big one at that) for the non-fighting part and then use the art of computer generated graphics to put it up with the special effects during the fight scenes. It wouldn't be that expensive/difficult.
