Terry Crews Says He Would Be a Pro Wrestler If Not for His Hollywood Career

The pro wrestling world is full of entertaining people, and some of them have decided to try their hand at other art forms. Although Terry Crews’ name is known throughout Hollywood, the fact is that he almost became a full-time wrestler. After all, he did have a stint in WCW.

Many people have traveled through the pro wrestling business on their way to a new destination in their careers. Terry Crews may be best known for his many famous roles, but he also had one spot in WCW that many fans may not remember.

During the red carpet for The Killing Game, Terry Crews confirmed that could have made it in the ring if his acting career didn’t pick up. It just so happened that acting got his time first with the right gigs.

“If it wasn’t for a couple auditions, I probably would have been a professional wrestler. But I just happened to be an actor first.”

Terry Crews made his big-screen debut in 2000 with The 6th Day. Following this, he secured roles in several films, including Serving Sara, Friday After Next, Deliver Us from Eva, and Malibu’s Most Wanted. His versatility as an actor was further showcased in Starsky & Hutch, Soul Plane, and White Chicks. He also starred in Mike Judge’s film Idiocracy. Before his acting career picked up, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star also had a run in WCW as T-Money.

Batista joined a growing list of Superstars who left pro wrestling for Hollywood. It turns out that Terry Crews is also on this list, but his pro wrestling career never really got off the ground.

We will have to see if Terry Crews ever does anything with WWE. We know that he certainly has the chops to pull it off, and he also probably has Batista’s endorsement.
