Hogan made quite a lucrative living as a wrestler. However, wrestlers are just as much actors as they are athletes, maybe even more so. That could be a perfect fit for Slice. He has a unique appearance which is often found in wrestlers. And without actually playing a character, Slice is in fact a character himself.
Slice seems as though he would be able to play the part of a wrestler, screaming into the microphone during pre and post fight interviews. As a wrestler, all that acting talent wouldn’t go to waste. So when Slice is finally reduced by a less than halfway decent mma opponent, he should consider stepping into the wrestling ring. Maybe then, he could act his way to a championship.
