Dwayne Johnson to drop "The Rock"
In another move that signals the end of Dwayne Johnson's wrestling career, he has been noted in a few of the media outlets that he intends to drop "The Rock" nickname by the time "Southland Tales" is released, in order to seperate his movie career from his wrestling career.
Johnson is beginning to promote his next film "Gridiron Gang", which opens nationwide on 9/15, with tons of promotional work in New York City this week. Credit: PWInsider.com |

I hope the rock doesn't land on anyone.
That might hurt. |

I believe he will just drop it when making movies, not when he is wrestling.

The Rock as been saying since his first independent venture that he desires to be known by his real name. It was only a matter of time.

Once his career goes to shit and he uses up all his money on his apparent crack addiction he'll go into porn as "Rock Hard" Johnson.

Nope. He's keeping "The Rock". He was taken out of context apparently.
Good... The Rock > Dwayne Johnson. I KNOW I'M GONNA GET HEAT FOR SAYING THAT BUT IT'S HOW I FEEL. |

I think he should go by "Flex Kavana" personally.
Catchy like The Dickens. |

He needs to go all the way and just call himself "God". I know I do.

LOL. You should change your name from M-A-G to G-O-D.

By the way, I meant to say that I call The Rock "God", not me.

I'm glad to hear that he's dropping the name "The Rock." I wouldn't mind seeing him act under the name Rocky Maiva. He can pull it off because of his family.

Rocky Maivia still has ties to wrestling. Wouldn't make much sense to keep that ring name as opposed to his other ring name.

Actually, this story was called false by a "rumor killer" on some of the very sites that reported it.

I'd rather see "Last Action Hero" staring Rocky Maiva than "Last Action Hero" staring Dwayne Johnson. Rocky Maiva sounds better, and it could be a way of "honoring his family" or some drek like that.

Dwayne is admittedly a dorky name. He should just come up with a manly name, like Dirk Hanson ... or Butch Reckless.

Dwayne 'THE ROCK' Johnson
That's what he will be using for now THen in 3 years or so, people will recognize Dwayne Johnson as independant (name) The Rock is his trademark. He shouldn't disown it. People know wrestling is lame, but they (general mainstream) know Rocky is above 'that' (wrestling). People I know don't like wrestling but they realize DJ is a standout and is above WWE. |

Yeah, we already mentioned the rumor killer so he's NOT dropping "The Rock". He was apparently misunderstood.
