the wrestling fad is over along with fatkins. the new trends are lance armstrong copy bracelets and putting giant magnetic ribbons all over your SUV to support the troops; which is funny because they're made in China.

Everytime I see an SUV with support our troops on it, I want to move it over the gas can, talk about irony.

He's still doing a ton of movies. Better him than Vin Diesel or one of the other aging action stars. Please put Jason Statham in more action films, kthx.

Rock is not too bad of an actor. He has a good look and has charisma and should be fine in those movies. I figure he would have been the next big action star but he's branching out to other genres.


I guess Diesel is the only big action star out there?? I can't think of anyone else.

That is such a good idea. :D

Although I can't believe The Rock is doing Johnny Bravo, that's kinda disappointing.

The WWE is pretty decent training for acting. While it's all over acting, that's what the crowd EXPECTS, so it takes some skill to not take yourself too seriously.

Walking Tall was pretty good. I like the pairing of him and Karl Urban for Doom. Although the movie will probably be pretty stupid (there's no mention of hell in the script at all, doubleyewteaeff).

I just hate him, when I used to watch wrestling, he was my favorite character. But for movies? No, he doesn't belong.

I wouldn't miss him.

I never watched wrestling but I've enjoyed The Rock's movie career as an action star. I thought Rundown was pretty funny and Walking Tall, among others, wasn't half bad for entertainments sake.
