The rock upped the dose....

[El Diablo Blanco]

Don't like his movies much, but the kids movies like Jumanji and Journey were good enough for a movie starring a wrestler.

I don't hate on The Rock at all. His WWE character was f'n amazing, and he does seem like a genuinely nice guys.

Only thing I dislike is the same for any actor - I don't give a shit what they think on politics since they're mostly all the same, and they should all STFU.

the nice guy thing is an act.  Why is it whenever he does something nice it is video recorded and posted on his social media to broadcast.  So disingenuous.  I would like him more if he just did nice things.   Look at Kanye West.  he comes off as a total dick but he quietly helps out a lot of people and doesn't post it on social or anything.  I think the Rock is now the most followed male on Instagram, so is a total attention whore.  When he is giving away his Ford Raptor to a soldier and posts the video on Instagram to 280 Million people, it is essentially a paid commercial for Ford.  Who knows how much Ford paid him to do that.  He is a total shill.  But then again, I would be too if I was in the same position, so all the power to him

Do you have examples of him being a dick outside of his social media stuff?

He was always friendly and personable when I would see him working out at Ultimate Sports Institute in Weston.

Maybe for someone too young to remember wrestling from the '80's and early 90's. Vince had to change him from a babyface to a heel because he sucked so bad. Multiple opponents were used until the fans finally accepted him. It was the opponents that made him in wrestling.

this is not true at all, he made his debut in 1996 and was hated by fans because his character was boring, but he was at least a mid carder a year later competing for the intercontinental title and the world champion exactly two years after his debut at the survivor series

how did the opponents make him?  he was always excellent on the microphone, that is what made him a superstar, charisma is what makes all successful wrestlers

So he is tough cause he played football? If you think the entire nfl is full of tough guys you would be sadly mistaken. While I’m sure he could destroy the average man that does not make one tough as the average man is a computer geek that gets no exercise.

you can not play D1 football let alone in the NFL and not be a tough guy

football is a brutal sport even if you are great at it, you need a very high tolerance for pain

[Earl1972]

Yeah, I guess I was a bit harsh. I didn't know he played football. At least he has the ability to endure punishment.  I just hate his persona and it annoyed me that some roided actor presented the winner of Diaz vs Masvidal with the UFC BMF belt over an actual fighter.

he also announced the winner at the olympia in 2017 when phil beat big ramy

Wasn't he part of the Nation of Domination?  They made him an African character but then he dropped some solid one liners that caught people's attention.

yes the character they forced on him, think about it they gave him the first name of his dad and the last name of his grandfather

"the rock" was just him being himself

yes after the lame rocky maivia character, the nation of domination is when he started to show his true potential

i think he was also the youngest wwe champ ever at the time

He’s a waste of space and is a washed up has been
He looks wrinkled, aged, and decrepit
We’re all done with his stupid pancakes and worthless cheat meals
He’s a dime a dozen and won’t be a blip on the radar of rememberance
