Vinny Pacifico said he has finished filming "Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle and Bone," a movie due out June 2 in which he plays his own wrestling character.
The Staten Island wrestler said acting has fit smoothly alongside his ring schedule, with no conflicts so far even when filming and wrestling in the same week.
Pacifico, now 12 years into a career that began after he chose wrestling over high school football, said advice from John Cena and Bryan Danielson helped convince him to pursue the sport.
His wrestling résumé now spans 15-plus countries and appearances with AEW, Ring of Honor and WWE, broadening into films including "Family Ties" and "Crimson Harvest."
