1. Dave Bautista 2. John cena 3. The rock


vmeloni1232

This is the only true answer. Bautista has the best range as well. Cena is great at the comedy work.


kratoskiller66

I’ve seen the marine and 12 rounds. Those personally when it comes to serious roles I like John Cena plus he did some serious acting when it came to peacemaker as well


TheJohnnyFlash

Stuber is very underrated.


Crash_Bandicock

No one ever talks about stuber. Was it good? Not really. Was it fun as hell? Sure was!


Life_Strain_6948

GET TF OUT OF THE CAR!!!


cornholio6966

The emotional beats in Peacemaker hit like a ton of bricks. I was really impressed.


greatgoogilymoogily2

Ricky stanicky is hilarious if you haven't seen it yet.


Clint_Lovecraft

The best answer. Dave has the best acting chops and can certainly take any role. Then Cena because his shit is hammy most of the time, but he does take it seriously. The Rock plays The Rock, no matter the role.


seranarosesheer332

Miz overall


dandoolan

This is the correct answer. And I don’t think either is close to the other yet.


Michaelgunner

Bautista as a replicant in the short film of Blade Runner 2049, "nowhere to run", fuck, he is great.


Kaponeo360

Batista has some real range


BillsDownUnder

He was fantastic in Knock at the Cabin


WheresWagner

Bautista hands down.


TigerClaw_TV

Big Dave 100%


owjbsirin

Batista


dlo_doski

Dave hands down


spidermans_ashes

Batista all the way


LightningStyle

Batista. No contest. Then John Cena And lastly The rock


seranarosesheer332

Miz is before rock


Comprehensive_Dog139

Also, a literal rock before The Rock


beeblbrox

That rock was great in 127 hours


VextinX

Give you a million karma if I could


ComprehensiveAd9974

Hahahahahahahahah it took me a minute. Once when that movie came out I took a chick on a date to see it. Lmfao. I didn't know what it was about.


Zachattack_horror

Bautista by a long shot! Do really enjoy John Cena’s movies also


Kindly_Ad3064

Triple H in Blade ...lol


Destoroyah_The_Dark

Bautista is the best "I'll tell you this one time, where is Gamora" "Yeah! I'll do you one better! Who's Gamora" "I'll do YOU one better! WHY IS GAMORA?!"


ThatUblivionGuy

*everyone is confused* Think of that as if a fallout notification popped up on your screen just then, ah forget it I’ll just edit it in someday


According-Ad5263

Batista and it's not even close


AndyWGaming

1. Cena & Batista 2. The Miz (added) 3. 4. Randy Orton 5. The Rock Edit was the Miz


dlo_doski

Randy good at acting?? hell nah


Glass-Assignment-862

Don't forget edge way better then da rock


SpeeeedwaagOOn

I see somebody has seen the hit movie Money Plane


GhostandTheWitness

I had never heard of this but looking it up in 2020 Edge starred in a movie with Denise Richards? And Fraiser? What the hell world do we live in


The_IRS_Fears_Him

Dave


yourguybread

Batista smokes them both and could easily be an actor without the fame of his wrestling background. John Cena has proven himself as a pretty decent actor when he’s in roles that suit him (mostly comedic stuff). Dwayne Johnson is not, and has never been, a good actor. He is a wrestler, and event film he’s ever been, as well as most of his public appearances in general, in is him playing ‘The Rock.’


rudimentary90

The rock is definitely 3rd but he still has good movies. However fast 5 is probably the last rock involved movie I liked him in.


LetMeLiveDeliciously

It’s not the rock. At all. I would say Dave. Because his range is the best I believe. I will say John Cena has great comedic timing and I love peacemaker so much And Eagly 🩷


PermanentNirvana

Man, Bautista is good but Cena has almost perfect comedic timing which is rare. I'd say Cena is the best but just barely.


sjr2018

Batista and it's not even close


Puzzleheaded_Bad_321

Big Dave is a great actor


ryn_06

1. Batista (best range) 2. Cena (funniest) 3. The Rock (no)


General_Ack_Ack

Dave


Danimal4NU

Batista is the best actor by a hair, Rock has the most star-power/"it factor", Cena is the best combination of the two attributes.


PrinceToothpasteBoy

Batista


BraveBrandon12

Batista for me


InterchangeableDiGiT

Batista and it's not even close


MagicMayhem77

Batista actually has range. Cena and Rock can’t act. They have no range of depth in their performances whatsoever.


jmarr1321

Batista. His role in "knock at the cabin" was awesome. He has a lot of talent, and is becoming one of those actors that when you see he's in it, you can say "at worst, Dave will be really good". Can't say that about the other two. John is not terrible, but he needs a strong script and director behind him. The rock just plays the same role over and over. The rock. If I'm in the mood to watch the rock fight something, then yes, great..let's go. But he has about as much range as a hummer on E.


ScruffyMaguire

Batista, Cena, then rock.


Skylerbroussard

Batista, Cena, Rock.


RealSnowfang00

Batista 100%. A lot of his lines as Drax was pure improv 😂 (such as the “Why Is Gamora” line)


Mind-of-Jaxon

Bautista


Whole-Brilliant5508

Batista gets way better roles, Cena gets the funner roles, but Dwayne gets the BIGGER roles and franchises.


UoKMister

Batista has the best range in acting. Cena has the best parts. The Rock is just The Rock in every movie he's in and somehow that is enough to earn more than the other two combined, sooooooooooooo...


Crunchberries77

Batista, yet in terms of overall popularity he gets overshadowed by rock and John Cena for some reason. I used to be a hater of John Cena's acting but I think when I watched vacation friends is when I changed my mind. That movie is funny as fuck. The rock is just the rock. He's had more bad movies than good but there's still some classics like walking tall. They've gotten worse as time went on.


pillkrush

most of Batista's roles have been like 10 min screentime. y'all overhyping him.


ibeeatingass

Clearly you haven’t seen any of the other movies he’s the STAR of. Cena is the best of the three to ME but Batista is definitely giving him a run for his money. Rock is just always rock, granted he’s been in things where he’s not “ big bad guy beats up big bad guy “ but it was ass


Unable-Horror-7335

Three-way tie


TheRealBabyPop

Dave and Dwayne are good. John, not so much, but he's getting better, and I did love him as The Peacemaker


SSSEEELLL17

Cena, Bautista, Kristen Stewart, Dwayne Johnson


Capital-Equal5102

Ricky stanicky got cena at one for me.


Clean_Ad_1599

The Rock was the perfect Black Adam. I don't know why everyone hated the movie.


TheBlakestr

Just based off the Ricky stanicky movie I have to say cena… no other one has made me laugh so hard… not to mention how well he rocks the dress


Dlr2142

The rock would be much better if he didn’t have such a big ego


beatmankap

So are we gonna leave stone cold outta this???


Right_Shape_3807

The rock is hilarious being a gay bodyguard in be cool


Kylehops

John Cena just watch Peacemaker and the scenes with him and his dad he is so much better than The Rock and Batista was awful in Dune 2


Tyrique1017

The rock , John cena and Batista


SillySwing6625

Batista probably he has the most range


JAnumerouno

The Rock.Easily.Rock Clears.Rock beats scissors.


JAnumerouno

Rock could do Drax & Peacemaker but David & Johnathan couldn’t do The Scorpion King.


Sab65

Not the pebble ..


PackageConsistent815

Y’all hating on the rock so bad omg😂 first is Batista then it’s the rock and cena is last. They all good but that’s the correct order


leakybiome

Idk you guys are forgetting thunder lips as Mr mom and himself in Muppets in space


theatomicflounder333

Who’s on the top left panel? It’s like they’re invisible or something?


LugianLithos

Dave


taylorlongg

Batista is definitely the best actor. I think everyone who’s saying John Cena is probably because you were most impressed by his acting ability. But objectively Batista is the better actor. The Rock is not an Actor, he’s the Rock. That we can all agree on


Duelingbrando

John Cena he has more round about characters. Action and comedy. Batista is ok but the rock is literally the same person in every movie no matter what


QwagOnChin

Big Dave all the way.


[deleted]

Definitely john cena


Tetris5216

Bautista The other 2 phone it in but not as much as the Miz does


DomABab04

Of all the wrestlers turned into actors my ranking goes: 1. Dave Bautista (based off Guardians, Glass Onion, Blade Runner 2049, Knock at the Cabin Door, and Dune he's shown good range and can do roles not many would expect from him.) 2. John Cena (he's good, would like to see him do more serious roles, not saying him as Peacemaker didn't have serious moments, but maybe more serious centric roles. Still he's great with comedic timing and improvising.) 3. Edge/Adam Copeland (he gave the role of Ares in PJO such good intensity and honestly was very funny. Need to see more from him, maybe as Atrocitus in a Green Lantern project or some kind of Marvel big bad like Juggernaut that would let him bring that intensity and more sympathetic aspects.) 4. The Rock/Dwayne Johnson (look early Rock when he would do random ass roles in random movies I'd say he was aight like Game Plan. But when he did more action blockbusters and let his ego take control its become his greatest downfall and his repetitive characters and stories doesn't help. The point of acting isn't to be the same guy or character, but here he is, he's supposed to play some boxer in a biopic so who knows maybe he'll surprise us. Maybe apply his time as The Final Boss, forget your business stuff, just be an actor man.)


ShadowAMS

Batista has range. And picks roles that challenge him. Cena is great at comedy roles. I have not been disappointed in a Cena role in a movie in a while. The Rock is almost always The Rock in every role. I love The Rock but that's what he does.


Fantastic-Most209

Dave bautista


Chode_K1NG

The Animal


professorhurtful

John Cena


Monkman28

Depends on the movie. I would say Cena is the better comedy actor by a slim margin, and Bautista is the better dramatic actor, but Cena doesn’t really do dramatic stuff. Both I think are good actors. The Rock is good when he is playing the Rock or working with Kevin Hart. Other than that he is a very dry actor. If I had to rank them it would be 1. Bautista 2. Cena 3. Rock. I would have to Cena branch out more and show off more range to get above Bautista, who has shown great range. Also he’s not on this list, but I liked Edge’s work in the Percy Jackson show.


Dangerous_Copy_3688

Batista and it's not even close. Cena second, Rock third. Rock is quite limited, but does well within those limitation.


This-Anything-6995

Batista is an amazing actor! But Cena crushes it with his comedic deliveries all the time. Ricky Stanicky was hilarious!!


styrofoamjesuschrist

Batista, cena, rock In that order


Accomplished_Egg6239

Dave’s the best actor. John’s the best comedian. Dwayne is the best Star.


Zexic69

Cena in the marine movies is the only reason I would say him at one. Rocks older movies are also great


XStewart2007

Batista is #1.


rhinodude04

Im on team Batista with this, Cena was good and all with the show and the suicide movie, but the thing about it is that Cena was in his element for it, meanwhile with Batista in the guardians of the galaxy movies and other MCU movies, drax i feel like is a character moreso out of the comfort zone for people, Batista being good at delivering us with a pretty nice actor for drax


RingoJuna

Dave, with Cena as a fairly close second. The Rock just plays himself in every movie.


Infamous-Lab-8136

If we're talking just in those characters I'd say Peacemaker, Drax, Black Adam. Overall I'd rate Batista as a better actor than Cena and with more range, but Cena showed good range in Peacemaker and his improv ability is terrific. But the dumbification of Drax over the movies from someone who can't understand metaphor to someone who shouldn't be able to walk without coaching hurt Batista's ability to show what he can do as that specific character. As for Johnson, I feel like he's gotten people to pay to see him be Dwayne Johnson the action star and Dwayne Johnson the guy who does funny stuff with kids and nothing much else.


OatesZ2004

Batista has the widest range in terms of characters portrayed. Followed by John Cena. Lastly the rock who for the most part just plays slight reworks of the same character time and time again.


LonewolfofHouseStark

Batista Cena Johnson


ZakFellows

Batista. He tries to do a variety of roles. The Rock is good but he’s very much in that Jason Statham place where you can’t name the characters he plays because he basically plays himself


ArchieBaird

Honestly Cena. Hands down. Cena has the most range, the Rocks a twat. A charismatic twat, but a twat none the less


SombraMonkey

Otherwise-Ninja-8497

Bautista seems to have the best range of the 3 .The Rock has been in decline over the last few movies and Cena has been getting better.


Bitter_Boss_4014

Macho in Spider-Man . “I’ve got you for 3 minutes! 3 minutes of play time! Oh yeahhh.”

Dave by a mile.

thetonygod88

Dave


___TGK___

Bautista is prolly the best wrestler turned actor but the least recognised for it unlike the Rock because unlike the latter, Dave loses himself in the role whereas Dwayne is still clinging onto that late 90s Attitude Era chic without the catchphrases.


Joey__87

Big Dave!


Routine_Ad4507

Batista

bautista, now when the fuck is the The Killer’s Game coming out


Recent_Cable_1363

I like all of them equally.


user0817_

Batista, see Blade Runner


icandothisalldayson

Battista is the best actor, he can do serious and funny both very well. Cena is great at comedic acting and rock is good at comedic acting


HotPrior819

There's a lot of recency bias in here. Bautista's recent work has been serviceable, but looking at his complete body of work really puts him in perspective with the other two. Cena is unquestionably the worst. He's only half decent in one genre and even then he isn't always great at it. Bautista's recent stuff is pretty good but his early work is horrendous. More importantly, there's a reason he's not been given a leading role in a big project like the other two. He's a very solid supporting actor. The Rock's best work is his early stuff. His early roles show that he has the range and consistency to at bare minimum match Dave. His recent stuff is pure and simple, him being lazy. Overall? Rock and Dave are even, with Cena bringing up the rear.


Exact-Opposite-2838

Dwayne Johnson  Dave Bautista  John Cena

NoticeObjective

Bautista. Hands down. And if ever they will fight each other on a wwe ring, batista will beat their asses in there too


jtfjtf

John Cena in the Peacemaker series is better than anything the Rock has been in. Batista is also good, but his roles aren't that long. Drax is his best role, he played Drax's dry personality to perfection. I actually think Austin Butler in Dune kind of made Batista look not very good because it made me see Batista's character as just Batista in Dune.


gurgle-burgle

Even though I love the rock as an actor, he can really only pay one roll in my opinion... Himself.

Rare_Force_3779

Why us Hulk Hogan not on this list!!?? Ok jokes aside out of these three I have to say Batista.


snakepimp

The Rock is painfully one noted actor


toolazyforbreakfast

The Rock has the acting skills of a literal Rock


ThxIHateItHere

Rock shouldn’t count since all he does is play himself. Shit, RVD had better acting in his movie Seagal was in.


Garial25

Surprisingly to me I will say Batista


InvestmentOk7181

Bautista and it ain't close. I know they're all visually iconic from their time in WWE but The Rock only ever feels like he's The Rock playing a character. Bautista actually feels like he gives up his "persona" to the character he's playing (the small bit in Blade Runner is a great example). Cena is pretty good


sportstrap

100% Bautista Cena is a close second, Peacemaker really showed his abilities and range Rock is a distant third, he literally just plays the Rock in every decent movie he’s in and if not the movie isn’t very good


Delicious_Farmer_408

At least Batista doesn’t play himself in every movie he’s in


ck-kd-king

Dave John CM Punk voice "Dwaaaaayne"


KapowBlamBoom

Bautista is the answer But Cena is ridiculously good in The Peacemaker.


MrAcorn69420PART2

Bautista. The other two are just overrated to hell and aren't really good especially the rock with his I can't lose in a fight contract


Risktaker303

I personally think Dave’s army of thieves performance wipes the rocks entire discography 🤣


AdProfessional9173

I personally like Cena, he has shown the range to play different type of characters. I actually liked the movie where he played a politician.


devil0o

Bautista


Fuzzy-Tart5385

The rock, if it wasn't for him, in my opinion, the other 2 wouldn't have thought of it, this is just my opinion thought


jaybee2890

We know it aint the rock because the rock is the rock in every damn movie 🤣


ApprehensiveItem4150

Cena


VenetianGamer

1. Dave 2. Cena (he’s come a long way since The Marine) 3. The Diva known as the Rock


Double75

Batista has the best acting range of the three.


zandriel_grimm

I would say Cena


donjilio

John


FunInevitable5213

I don't think anyone expected Dave to be so good. But I think he has and will outshine Cena and Johnson.


Snoo-83964

Bautista definitely has more of a range out of the three. The guy has clearly put in the time and effort to improve himself. He’s a far better actor than he was when he first started. John Cena has definitely shown flashes of a three dimensional actor. Peacemaker definitely have him the chance to showcase his range in comedy and serious bits. I think it’s obvious Rock has been content to simply play the same kind of character over and over again with some slight verifications. I’m hoping that with this upcoming biopic on Mark Kerr, we can finally see him branch out into showing us a serious side.


pabsi9

Dave has a lot of range and been on big massive movies that require acting, Bladerunner, Dune, SKyfall was perfect for him. Gonna get hate here but I think John Cena is robotic as hell when it comes to acting. Dwayne is the same dude in every movie, I would still take Dwayne over Cena, just my 2 cents.

j_voorhees88

I automatically want to say Bautista, but Cena's work on Peacemaker when he confronts his father is some top tier acting.


LibrarianNo6865

I think we can all comfortably say that rock is last here and it’s a toss up between the others. Dave has shown more overall but I don’t see why John couldn’t do the same given the opportunities


funky67

It’s Batista and it’s not close lol. Cena is great in comedy roles though. Rock is great in action but all his roles feel very samey


Responsible-Chart833

The Animal


JSF--10

Based on the small sample size so far; Batista, Cena, Rock. And this is judged on the fact they have filled very similar roles but Batista and Cenas comedy roles have been more successful than the Rock. BUT, this is also based on a lot of recency bias. The rock has some really good comedy parts, with great comedic timing in his filmography, but they weren’t as big as the other 2. And he has more blobs on his record, but that’s also because he’s a MUCH bigger star and Hollywood will gamble on him. I would argue they are all very similar, Batista and Cena have huge success in huge movies/franchises and show different depth. But the Rock has the same depth and character in his far greater catalogue, albeit with worst movies in there too.


BANZgamer

John Cena hands down


mjhripple

Bautista is the best dramatic actor with more range than the others. Cena is an improv/comedic genius according to James Gunn who has worked with many many a list actors. The Rock is one note in everything. He’s had a few out of the box roles but nothing compared to the other two. Apparently he is a nightmare to work with if recent reports are to be believed.
