The Rock on Jim Rome
 

The Rock was on Jim Rome is Burning. Nothing earth shattering, went something like this:

Says he’s no longer The Rock but became Dywane Johnson, the actor, a few years ago, retired quietly to not make a big production about it. Which is why he keeps getting asked about it, says he’s done.

Says he wrestled because he loved it, grew up around it, though he always loved football and Miami. He was always interested in wrestling though, wants to get into Sitcom television

Says The Gameplan is a big comedy, had been waiting for the right material, felt this was it. He kinda appreciates the happy ending aspect that Studio Disney always gives you.

Ruptured an Achilles tendon on the set. “Most severe injury I’ve ever suffered” got hurt in football and in wrestling, but nothing like that. Delayed production for 2 months

Approves of the coach @ Miami and thinks he’s the right guy to turn the program around.

On Benoit: Says he was a great guy. The guy he knew was a tremendous guy and he couldn’t figure out why. Hated to see it happen. Felt it was awful when he heard it happened; knew the family, says it was difficult to handle.

Misses the crowd interaction most about wrestling. Says you don’t get a live reaction like you do in wrestling. “In Wrestling, if a joke bombs, you know it right away”

:(

About wrestling, that's what he's been saying for years now. He did the right thing by moving on. Like really, he's bigger than WWE now, WWE would only hold him back. Nothing but respect for him.

The Rock is The Man.

100% Agreed.

The Rock is like Vin Diesel. He started out with fairly popular movies and is now doing throw away Disney/Children's movies.

And still making more money than he would in WWE. Step up for him. :y:

Plus Disney owns WWE.

Ask KK.

And WWE owns TNA.

Ask Shadow.

And I'm a Master Mason of the 33rd degree.

welcome, what is up

Alone, Vin Diesel could kill you with everything in a common household room but if you combined the Rock and Vin into one person, he could kill you with his thoughts!

I don't know if I've officially said this before, but i want Vin's voice.

Not saying it isn't. Just saying he's a joke again as far as celebrities go. (The first time, of course, was him being a wrestler.)

A joke of a celebrity is still better than being the top wrestler.

Agreed.

Case and point, K-Fed got paid more per appearance to job to Cena than Cena himself.

And for what it's worth, K-Fed at least elicited the correct kind of response from the fans.

Cena jobbed to K-fed there Tovo

And it was awsome

Oh snap! Well than all the more so.

K-Fed was the highlight of WWE in 2007, and probably 2006 as well.

Yep, i just said that.

The Rock will forever be the best entertainer.

The Rock is not thought of as a bad actor at all. He has some good stuff so far, and more to come. I'm not saying he will win an Oscar, but he is deffinatly a great action star, and has great comedy skills, and his drama is looking up...

what?
He's no joke. What are you on about.

Yeah, pretty much hit all the points.

Right. He's making Disney kids throw away movies. Once you've hit that low there isn't much lower you can go on the Hollywood movies totem pole. You can bounce back, but he's pretty much at the floor.

As far as I'm concerned he's a high paid joke.

You can do kid movies and go on to do other things.

Which is why I said "You can bounce back".

Oh yeah, I guess I didn't pay attention.

:y:

Them movies make a lot of money you know.

He is smart to take a show like that nstead of a dum action movie. He is trying to not be cast the same all the time.
