Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Mother's Day Post

Does anyone know what time it is?

I don't even own a watch. Just use my cell phone for the time.  

Then again, I guess a watch looks good if youre a business man or lawyer or something. Doesn't matter in my field. Plus, I hate the way a watch feels on my wrist. Ive never really liked the way jewelry felt on my body (ring, chain, watch, bracelet). It always feels like I am having to adjust it or move it around.

Watches def are not for everyone.i just like the look and feel of it.im no lawyer,doctor or biz man,i just enjoy a nice watch.Id rather spend 10k on a watch than spend 50k on a car but thats just me.the way i look at it is time is the most important thing in the world so i want a great timepiece.End of story.i have freinds with 100k cars and 30k bikes,il stick to my watches.

I doubt it is a sympathy, more a reminder where he was and appreciation for everything he has achieved. Why going public? As much as it sounds corny, he might inspire some young kids to pursue their dreams.

I think that is also part of the problem. The fact that more kids know who Britney Spears or The Rock is, than they know who Stephen Hawking, Issac Newton, or Marie Curie are. Its okay to look up to movie stars, singers, wrestlers, to a certain extent, but I think kids need to have real heroes, people who have really changed the world. Its the scientist who is struggling day-in and day-out trying to develop a cure for cancer that kids should look up to. Instead, they all just want to become rich and famous, and that is what the Rock portrays: Money and a lavish lifestyle. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but we all know why The Rock is constantly posting feel good stories: To stay in the limelight because that equals money for him. Its quite sad when a music or wrestling video on youtube has 12 million views, and a Tedtalk on physics (or any other intellectual topic) has 300 views :/ I wish kids would start looking toward other figures for inspiration, in order to make more of a direct impact on the world.

I wasn't born as poor island trash, so it turns out...I never had to buy my mom food.  I feel pretty good about this and am thankful for relatively successful parents.
Thanks Dwayne.

A watch without a paracord wrist band is a total waste in modern times.

I wasn't knocking down the rock as such....but why keep bringing up "the hardship" card over and over unless it's pull on heart strings...he didn't grow up in a war zone, he wasn't orphaned, he didn't spend all his childhood fighting a deadly sickness....the dude is 6ft5 healthier than a Gorilla, good looking, famous and filthy rich.

The below was a plug for his programme,  "helping" the homeless.

nothing is more bad ass than this rolex wearing guy, the minute i saw him i said to myself "i need to get me one of those BAD ASS watches"

Trying to be the white two pack

I also got a new Daytona now following your advice. Any other watch tips are most welcome  

I just bought this made in America Timex.  I bet it will outlast all of your watches.

Takes a lickin'

Can't beat it for 40 dollars.  Timex watches are indestructible.

Does anyone know what time it is?

For fuck's sake, go and buy a Rolex GMT. They're cheap as chips!

I like Dwayne but....

He's been milking this "I was so poor" sympathy cow for sometime now...He's been well off for a very long while and he needs to let it go...it's not like he was an orphan in India or shizzo in Florida.

Secondly...am I suppose to feel sorry for his mum? She's wearing a solid gold watch with diamonds on the bezel....I'm 36 and been busting my ass since 16 and just about bought myself a half gold watch, you don't see me crying over a plate of croissants.

LOL nailed it.

fake humility all the way. These people dont understand they got where they are due to pure luck more than anything. But they always keep convincing themselves -publicly- they got there because of some kind of superhuman "work" others didnt do. Most of the time you dont even hear about the less shiny stuff they had to do to get there either.There are are billions of people busting their asses a lot more than them but simply happened to be born less lucky and in return get nothing for their "work".

[The True Adonis]

Mickey Mantle and the rest of all real Americans wore a Timex watch.

this is true,but look at this "industry" - today Heath and Kai are in their prime,ronnie and jay are irrelevant...tommorow there will be 2 new faces and champions and people will running just around them and the old cahmpions will be slowly forgotten...look for example some football clubs,like barcelona real madrid etc...in 10 years from now how many children or adults would asko to take a picture with some player who wasnt in the spotlight? they will be forgotten,the only thing that will hopefully stay is the earned money...look backstreet boys where are they now?!all of them are broke and they are still doing shows but they are irrelevant...the same will happen to justin biber in a few years

In his book he talks about driving around looking for the least stained matress he can find to take home from the back of motels because he was hard up for cash. That's pretty unshiny.

You claim he's fake, but like someone else said, everyone that's met him has nothing but good stuff to say. He's been famous for over 15 years, I'm sure somebody would have seen a slip up by now.

If you tried any of those tests with Skorpo's effeminate watches, they would break and he would go off in some corner to cry like the the cologne drenched bitch he is.

[robcguns]

Il end it here,the roc is full of shit.rolex is a bad ass watch,if you like timex then good for you,i wouldnt wear one but that is all personal preference.Ive many great conversations with other watch guys about the watches i am wearing and to me it fun.Like i said some like cars,bikes,watches etc...you all dont need to get mad that skorp and i like rolex watches its not that big of a deal.

Wait, you mean people in all forms on sports and entertainment go through varying periods of popularity?

Wow, who knew?

Ah, but how does your arm look with a timex when you're finger banging a dude?

[James28]

Wish this guy and his mum would fuck off. He's like a teenage girl, the amount of crap he posts online, all designed to make himself look good too.

It's how it is. He has done exceptionally well for himself and I'm genuinely glad that he can do that for his mother, but the incessant attention whoring gets old quickly.

You people are fucked,skorps watches are fucking awsome and make your timex look like a steaming pile of shit.rolex can be bashed banged and keep going,your plastic timex will shatter and it takes a battery,thats weak.
