Ok question.

If a wrestler goes to do movies and comes back to wrestling and wins a belt. Has he or she tarnished the belt and are they classified as a wrestler or a actor or actress. So the belt or belts if tag titles are tarnished with a actor or actress winning it or it being the tag titles.

Because they leave the wrestling company they worked for to do another profession i.e acting and come back. So they have actor as their new profession, so they come back as that profession.

Several wrestlers went into acting and returned to the ring. I don't know about winning a belt after acting, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had. The main reason they go into acting is insurance, the actors guild has it, and considering the life of a wrestler, they need it. This was one reason a lot of wrestlers hated Hogan, they were planning on striking to get a similar deal as regular actors, but he didn't want to risk his big paydays by unionizing.

Very few wrestlers actually became actors. Movie stars, yes. Actors? Debatable.

The only ones, that I actually recognise as actors are Dave Bautista (who is a legit good actor) and John Cena (who actually does a bit more than just playing himself in each movie, unlike Dwayne Johnson or Hulk Hogan).

Wrestlers are actors.

I'd rather say dramatic performers. That doesn't mean that it's bad, but acting is a bit more involved.

Wrestling is entertaining. I don’t watch it anymore but when I did it always just felt like “soap operas for bros.”

They’re like acrobats with a storyline.
