He made a buisness decision that due to that decision, has made a huge name for himself more than if he just stayed in wrestling. Heck, he doesn't even go by "The Rock" anymore in his movie titles. Its simply "Dwayne Johnson". HIs success with his acting career is the reason he continues to get movie roles. You can't ignore that.
Here's still hoping that we'll get a G.I. joe crossover movie in the next few years. Heck, it would be really killer if TF-5 or 6 turns out to be that crossover.

Obviously you don't follow wrestling because after a 7 year movie making hiatus, the Rock came back to main event 2 Wrestlemainas, several Raws and Smackdowns, and have a 2 month WWE Championship title reign. He remembered where he came from and did it for the fans.
Rated X wrote:Now while Mark Whalberg sucked as a rapper, he moved on to a fairly successful movie career. Not as successful as the Rock, but successful regardless. The problem I have with Mark as an "actor" is that in 20 years he hasn't had that one definitive blockbuster that is so big even non-movies buffs know his name.
Rated X wrote: So why wont I let go of Mark Whalbergs debut persona and accept him as an actor you ask ?
Easy...
Everyone knows the old saying "you never get a second chance to make a first impression".
well here is my lasting first impression of Mark Whalberg:
I'm not sure how anyone can look at this face and take him seriously for anything. 20 years later Justin Beiber might be a successful actor with 30 movies under his belt. But there will be always be someone like Rated X to remind you of their past....

Burn wrote:The Rock didn't come back for the fans, he came back for a Wrestlemania pay-off. Plain and simple. To think otherwise would be to think wrestling isn't scripted.
It's also safe to say that Mark Wahlberg has LESS flops to his name than Dwayne Johnson.
Now, we get it. You don't like him. Why do you feel the need to continue the argument when you have absolutely no chance of converting anyone to your beliefs? Give it up now.
Burn wrote:It wouldn't be too hard to find someone who can name a movie Mark Wahlberg has been in.
Ted would be the most common answer.
But given you genuinely believe The Rock came back to wrestling because of a "real" comment by John Cena, plus the fact you can't get past The Funkybunch, it's safe to say you're a tad out of touch with reality and any further discussion with you is pointless.
And as I previously said, you should give up. But hey, if you want to keep embarrassing yourself, then who am I to stop you?
