See in that case he's actually trying to distance himself from being a white rapper with his pants halfway to his god damn ankles. Are you saying that the Rock is trying to distance himself from wrestling? Because I think that's close to the heart of this.

I'm saying that Marky Mark owes nothing more to the Funky Bunch than provided and the Rock owes nothing more to the WWE than provided

I know the Funky Bunch and the WWE aren't the same, we're on a wrestling forum after all
But I'm sure somebody somewhere takes the New Kids on the Block as seriously as some folks do Dwaye Johnson not wrestling anymore. |

LMAO! I just can't wait for the day that the 11x World Champ, Cena, realizes that he's done it all, and being the driven person that he is... Somehow gets bored and wants to explore new things. Last edited by The Chris Rosa; 04-12-2009 at 10:34 PM. |

And as much as it hurts to be ABLE to point this out, it was DONNY Wahlberg in the New Kids, not Mark. I'm going to go shower now so I can feel less dirty. |

Mark was also one of the original members, unless Wikipedia is lying to me on the most bizarre of circumstances.
So you think the Rock constantly playing into his old wrestling career wouldn't hurt his legitimacy as an actor at all? |

Alternatively, you think Mark would have hit stardom in movies so quickly if he hadn't had any past affiliation with the music industry to get his name out?

And, again, the Rock's wrestling career got him into Hollywood. Marky Mark got into movies DESPITE his rapping. |

In a foot-in-the-door kind of way, it probably helped him, yeah. But he had to completely erase his image and change his name to pull it off. Nobody was sitting in a board room saying "who should we put in a movie?" "Fuckin' Marky Mark, man, we need some good vibrations in this project!" Wahlberg had to reinvent himself to get into movies. The Rock got into movies as a capitalization on his popularity.

And the Rock getting legitimate roles in decent movies as a real and serious actor would not at all be hindered by constantly throwing bones to professional wrestling (during a particular down period, I might add)?

Cena is still the best in the business. It's impossible to have seen enough when you "can't see him" in the first place.
![]() People can attack Cena all they want but at the end of the day, he is the biggest draw for the WWE. At the end of the day, he is the most charismatic superstar in the WWE. At the end of the day, he is the WWE's #1 guy. At the end of the day, he has the rispect of everyone in the WWE lockerroom....including your mom's.

Answer me this: what roles is the Rock going to be gunning for that anyone is going to say "we can't give this part to that guy, he was a wrestler!" As far as quality output, Hollywood is in at least as much of a downturn as wrestling. If they put Savage in a bit role in Spider-Man, who's going to hesitate to cast Johnson further up the bill? If anything is keeping him out of bigger roles, I'd guess it has more to do with the fact that he isn't fully developed as a serious wrestler.
And again, I really fell out on this side of the argument when he appeared on WWE TV and say "Hi, I'm Dwayne Johnson." "Well hi Dwayne, Im Joe Gofuckyourself." |

I can name off white rappers in movies, too. I don't see Randy Savage or really, any other major wrestling names starring in huge films--obviously, that's more of a talent issue than a "they were wrestlers" thing, but without any other examples to go off, we can't really tell whether his shot at movie stardom would be impaired or not by his wrestling history. I think there might actually be quite a few more "But he was a wrestler" parts than suspected.
Plus, continuing to throw back to WWE might make him seem like he's hopelessly clinging on. As much as people bitch about Hulk's "one last match" nonsense, I'm sure the Rock might be hesitant to walk down that road. Really, it's nearly an accomplishment that he actually walked away and hasn't found himself bloatedly stumbling back into the show for one last paycheck. |

I don't think we need a "guy who acts like an entitled thirteen year old" gimmick. Especially since we have so many of the real deal here.
