John Cena & Ernest & 8 Other Hilarious Wrestler Lookalikes

We’ve all had this moment - “it’s that guy from that show!” As movie fans, we watch all of these stars and get a real kick out seeing our favorite actors and actresses all over the place. Sometimes we might even have a friend or two that looks like your favorite actor and actress.

It even happens with our favorite wrestlers. Sometimes, their resemblance to one movie star or another is uncanny. Heck, Dwayne Johnson looks just like The Rock. But seriously, sometimes it is very hard to tell the difference between the Fake Diesel and the real Kevin Nash, so to speak.

9 John Cena & Jim “Ernest” Varney

For several years, Jim Varney built an empire with his good-natured pitchman turned movie star Ernest Worrell. After spending several years doing commercials using the catchphrase “KnoWhutimean,” he moved on to the movies and made nine Ernest movies. He passed away in 2000, but his likeness lives on in all places the visage of latter-day John Cena.

Both men have similar noses, jawline, and eyes. Now that Cena has grown his hair out a little, the resemblance between both men is even more striking...and funny.

8 Roman Reigns & Jason Momoa

Unbelievably, the world has two massive island boys with long hair and tribal tattoos for plenty of fans to cheer for and possibly swoon over. While Jason Momoa has been traversing the TV and film landscape for years, he struck major gold playing the gargantuan Khal Drogo during the first season of Game of Thrones.

His career went to an ever higher stratosphere, when he was cast to play Aquaman. Similarly, Roman Reigns also struck career gold when he debuted as part of The Shield but is on a whole different level now that he’s The Head Of The Table.

7 Rob Van Dam & Jean-Claude Van Damme

During the late eighties, Jean-Claude Van Damme was a rising martial arts movie star, thanks to his turn in the film, Kickboxer. While he never achieved the level of success that Schwarzenegger and Stallone had, he was still known for his memorable physique and several films.

When a young Robbie E. was starting out in his own kickboxing and wrestling career, people couldn’t help but remark his resemblance to the then-rising action star, and he was re-christened Rob Van Dam.

6 Mick Foley & Charles Manson

If there is some higher form out there creating life, it must've been a rib when cult leader Charles Manson and Mick Foley were created. It is a strange world we live in when one of the most demented men of the past century eerily looked like one of the nicest wrestlers of all time, even if he played a demented superstar.

The resemblance between the evil Charles Manson and the deranged Cactus Jack was so much in Mick Foley’s early days that he was being billed as Cactus Jack Manson. It was Foley who eventually put a stop to having the surname attached to his wrestling persona.

5 Cesaro & Jason Statham

Cesaro spent several years of his career coming to the ring in a suit to illustrate that as a wrestler, he is a man of precision and good taste. He also happened to look just like a rising action star, then known for wearing a pleated suit - Jason Statham. Both men are buff and bald.

Both men don’t mind looking good, and both men have actually mixed it up with Roman Reigns in the ring, and on screen in Hobbs and Shaw.

4 Trish Stratus & Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson And Trish Stratus Cropped

Despite being 42 hours away from each other and 8 years apart in age, there has to be something in the Canadian water. How else can you explain not one, but two Canadian blond bombshells like model and actress Pam Anderson, and fitness model and WWE Hall Of Famer, Trish Stratus?

The two Canucks met several years ago at the 2006 Canadian Walk Of Fame Induction ceremony and didn’t miss the chance to give fans a memorable moment, doing a little more than just embracing.

3 Liv Morgan & Margot Robbie

It took several years and her friends unfortunately getting released, but it seems like the WWE brass is finally seeing Liv Morgan as the top talent that she can be. When she debuted as part of the Riott Squad, the rumor was that Vince McMahon wanted an all-female version of The Suicide Squad.

While it might be because McMahon actually spared a few hours and watched the movie, but perhaps it’s because Liv Morgan bears a striking resemblance to the film’s star, Margot Robbie.

2 Nikki A.S.H. & Kat Dennings

After a memorable bit role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Kat Dennings started getting more and more visibility in Hollywood.

She gained more notoriety as the star of the sitcom, 2 Broke Girls, and even more as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor and later on, WandaVision. This was much like her wrestling counterpart, Nikki Cross, who had been working very hard at her craft before striking it even bigger in the superhero genre as Nikki A.S.H.

1 Big E & Alfonso Ribeiro

One would have to assume that the Seinfeld-loving former WWE champion, Big E probably also grew up a fan of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. While everyone wanted to be like big Will, Big E looks a lot more like Will’s cousin, Carlton; played by Alfonso Ribeiro.

The thought of the fun-loving WWE champion doing the silly Carlton dance before delivering the Big Ending would be an awesome sight. The facial structure, arching of the eyebrows serve to make both men look eerily similar.
