The 80s movie Bodyslam starring Roddy had a ton:
Lou Albano
The Wild Samoans
Tonga Kid (Sam Fatu)
The Barbarian
Cameos from Ric Flair & Bruno Sammartino to name a few.

It’s a movie about wrestling, so I’m probably missing quite a few since I haven’t seen it in 30 years, But it was filled with actual wrestlers.

Jesse Ventura
Cena
The miz
Undertaker was in a Hogan movie
Kane had his own horror movie a few years go
Zeus (Tiny Lister) - was in the movie first but went on to wrestle
Sgt Slaughter was a GI Joe
Vader was in a few tv series.
Bautista
Terry Funk in road house
Kevin Nash
Goldberg was in one of the universal soldier shitty sequels

Edit: the big dude in Troy who got juked by Brad Pitt at the beginning was a wrestler

Are we doing lady wrestlers? Zelina Vega played AJ Lee in that movie about Paige's family.

These dudes were tough and innovators. Many are in WWE Hall of Fame. Texas had several sanctioned wrestling bodies back then and this West Texas clan went all in.

If counting International films, El Santo was in a ton. Also Nacho Libre had Silver King in it.
