what arnold did, the way he went into hollywood, to become their highest payed star was unique and something that i think most people thought would never be duplicated.
the era of action movie stars was over, everybody was slimming down, some actors were considered too big...
in comes dwayne the rock johnson - taking the same kinda roles that arnold did - mixing action and comedy roles.
bigger than arnold, taller than arnold... and now the highest paid actor in hollywood with a net worth of $220m at age 45 (arnold got $400m but he's also 25 years older)
-
A more fair comparison would be Terry Bollea.
Compare Arnold to other bodybuilders like Levrone or big Lou.
Wrestling and bodybuilding is apples to oranges.
-
the point is very big dudes making it in hollywood, muscles are back in!! even kevin levrone etc thought they need to SLIM DOWN!
mean while, dwayne is looking more jacked than ever and his earning more and more money
-
the rock is not bigger than Arnold, I've met him in real life. He's taller but not ''bigger''
-
Arnie acted in a few great movies and several other very good ones.
Dwayne has yet to be in anything that is above average. He still has time I guess.

bingo
The first Terminator movie and the first Predator movie are SciFi Classics
The first Conan is a very good movie as well
Commando and Twins are both more than decent flicks
-
Arnold is an icon who made iconic movies, played iconic characters and delivered iconic lines.
Johnson has appeared in over budgeted, low performing, forgettable films. He even played a white guy at one point. Adjusted for inflation, Arnold earned more.
Arnold started from scratch and conquered bodybuilding, cinema, and politics. Johnson was born into a wrestling family and had a huge head start. Johnson will NEVER make it in politics.
Conclusion: Arnold was and is The Man. Johnson hasn't surpassed shit.

so basically arnold starred in a half dozen or so good movies in a career thats been lasting almost half a century?
-
Name "the Rocks" iconic movies that can equal
Conan

Arnold is Arnold. He made a sport and developed a lifestyle. He became a star and Govenor of one of the largest economies in the world, despite spending the first 20 years of his life in Austria.
He did all this without being able to speak english.

And almost immediately he dropped it.

Dwayne Johnson's movies fucking suck. Arnold's movies are epic.
-
ill take arnold over dwayne any day
i just find it interesting that muscled action heroes are back in style, not straight to video anymore but on the big screen and that the biggest payed actor of all in the world is a juice head
-
As much as I dislike the current Arnold. I own most of his movies. I do not own one movie with Dwayne Johnson.
Nah, Dwaynes alright, he just lacks too many things. His arms don't match his chest, his leg don't match his back. He's got one thing and that's a great smile. Other than that he looks like a bigger darker version of Rob Snyder.
-
Wait till Jumanji comes out, nobody will remember Terminator, Commando and Predator...lol

Muscular action heros have always been in. Also, the rock has been acting for a long time. Its not as if he just recently burst onto the scene ushering in a new era of muscular movie stars. They have been making the marvel comic movies for at least 10 years now and those all include muscular actors. People have and aleays will like muscular actors, they just don't care for bodybuilders who are way over the top.

The Rock bangs hot chicks.
Ahnuld bangs skeletor and an ugly Spanish maid.
The Rock wins. :D

The Rock is a well known homosexual bro. EVERYBODY in the Hollywood inner circle knows this. His wife was a beard for him. He frequented many gay clubs in LA in the 90's when in town.

How the fuck does a male say that about another male? That's just fucking gay.

Insecure much? Not confident in your own masculinity? Generally speaking when another male says "that's fucking gay" what he is doing is deflecting his own latent homosexual tendencies. My guess is you wake in the middle of the night hot and sweaty from a dream in which you are blowing into another man's butthole while giving his balls and shaft the works. Its ok, i am not here to judge you. I will say however you may find peace within yourself by just coming out from the closet and letting yourself go.

Wrestling and bodybuilding is apples to oranges.
Levrone is too small with no personality or acting skills, without the muscles just another average normal guy that hollywood isn’t looking for
-

This is more accurate, he’s no where near 6’5 or 6’4
Seen him a handful of times at golds, his cousin tanoi is good friends with Stan mcquay

The fact that Dwayne is the celebrity with the biggest following over the age of 40 in the planet ,hell I think he is top 10 overall on Instagram twitter etc its rather impressive ....
I think he'd be on top for another decade (unless he dies or something extreme happens) ...... Also, he's taking advantage of his muscles unlike Arnold , who after the age 40 wasn't really that muscular and always pulled the " I cant be too big to get good roles and get a great following " (Arnold's voice) ..... I mean look at Dwayne Johnson at age 45 now . He looks FANTASTIC
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH
Arnold age 42
-

No personality ? Did you forget it's pronounced LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ?
Wait till they see this built at the Arnold; I mean in a movie theater near you SHA BOOMMMMMMMMMMM
-
X-Rays have shown in numerous occasions that Levro NEEEEE has the knees of a 22 year old carnivorous alpha male
Don't you ever forget that
WooSHHHHHHHHHH 5 % never dies ...or .... did it

Hi Arnold.
It's safe to say that Dwayne as surpassed Arnold "The Liberal Cuckhold" Schwarzenegger".
Both are/were good though.
How was Dwayne born into anything though? He mentioned that in 1994 he moved to California with $9 in his pocket or something. So what do you mean about Dwayne having "Family Privilege"?

His entire family tree were/are famous wrestlers. What a mark!
-
What a stupid comparison.
Ill add into the mix that The Rock came into movies having a huge fanbase from WWE and was already a household name. Arnold had nothing like that, nor was there anything like social media to promote.
I honestly cant say any of Dwayne Johnsons films are good, although he was a great wrestler/ entertainer, and is a very likeable guy.
-
no way the rock is bigger than arnold was , the rock's most successfull movies are in an established franchise like fast and furious.
the rock could never ever get into the shape arnold did in his prime either.

I think people are referring to Dwayne surpassing Arnold as a movie star and in popularity
Just like Arnold and Sly were the two most muscular action heroes back in he day and fans used to compared them all the time.

you got a point there, but i do believe sly is more talented than either one, he actually wrote and directed movies that did well something arnold and the cock will never do
-

I agree with you and it sucks to see the Rock surpassing Arnold ( in my opinion ) but in a world where the Kardashians are on top. . People don't care if Sly wrote directed etc. they worship Dwayne to the point everything he's in its a blockbuster.

i dont like the rock, seems like a disingenuous person, just fake. he boasts about everything he does, just an annoying and unlikable person

Have met the Rock many times over the past 15 years. Yes....he is a total sham. A few guys that I know..who have dealt with him personally. ..say the same thing that you say. He seems to be wearing a persona 24-7. He is full of canned answers and PR bullshit. Actually....he reminds many of them of Mike O Hearn. That is what some have said.

his movies suck as well, i would never go see a movie because he is in it. guy is overated, the media shoves him down peoples throats.

This. Sylvester Stallone has far more relent not only as an actor, writer, and such. His movies are more watchable minus few. Dwayne Johnson has nothing to offer in the way of an Arnold much less Stallone. Dwayne just shows up and does what he is told, same shit in every movie.
-
as far as movies the Rock has been in, Faster is pretty good.

Arnold > Dwayne all day long but Arnold also had a huge fan base and was a well known celebrity before doing movies (not counting Hercules in New York). Arnold starred in Stay Hungry with Jeff Bridges and Sally Field which came out a year before Pumping Iron. Arnold was definitely well known and had a fan base by the time Conan hit the theaters.
-
Mbetter yet name one role the rock has played that is as iconic or well known as the terminator or Conan. Yep i here those crickets chirping
-
No comparison Arnold shits all over anything the Rock has done or ever will do in life!!!
-
If Arnold as 20 years younger he would get into top shape just to show the rock who the king is
-
Arnold=PUMPING IRON, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE TERMINATOR, PREDATOR.
Dwayne Johnson=??????
-
Arnold=PUMPING IRON, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, THE TERMINATOR, PREDATOR.

better shape to in his prime
stallone- rocky, rambo, the expendables
the cock- supporting role in fast and furious and shitty disney movies
-
Arnold starred in cult movies like Terminator,Predator,Conan,Total Recall etc. Most of the Rock's movies I didn't even watched to the end,they are that boring.His biggest blockbuster is Fast and Furious and he isn't even a lead actor there.
Dwayne's championships titles in wrestling are just as real as Stallone's world titles in boxing and arm wrestling. Arnold is a 7xMr.Olympia,5xMr.Universe in BB and a Golden Globe winner in acting.The Rock doesn't even have abs.
-
better shape to in his prime
stallone- rocky, rambo, the expendables

Mel Gibson = Lethal Weapon, Road Warrior
Harrison Ford = Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jack Ryan,
Rock = shitty film about bodybuilders with Walberg
