The Rock Confirms WM22 Status

Someone needs to tell him that tattoo looks fucking retarded.

 

Then again, I guess it's a little too late to do anything about it.

Yay...Rock will probably be sitting in the front row for the first couple matches, get in the ring and cut a half hearted promo about how it's great to be "at Wrestlemania 22...the most electrifying event in sports entertainment history...in front of the millions (and millions) of the Rock's fans...blah blah blah". Then he'll leave the building and go to a real party with real stars.

Cold. Blooded.

I knew the Rock got lean a few years ago but holy crap.

 

He looks like he weights 230 pounds.

Maybe he is doing coke with Lohan and Duff.

Although the Rock looks good, he's still toned...but damn haha, it's just weird seeing him THAT lean haha. Remember when he used to be 270 now he def looks to be in the 230ish mark like mentioned above.

Considering The Rock seems to be extremely busy with 7-8 movie projects in the fire, it doesn't surprise me that he says he's not wrestling.

Have any of his movies made any money? I think the Scorpion King was a hit, but since then?

I thought the Rundown did well and Walking Tall's budget couldn't have been that big that it couldn't turn a profit...He seemed to have solidified his star in Be Cool (a versatille, comedic role as opposed to action hero), but Doom should be his ultimate test...either he's the next Arnold or it's back to the WWE with him...

[Lil' Bitch 0]

I think its a supporting role for him in Doom though so he gets it easier in case the movie flops since he's not in the lead.

For some sick reason, I want The Rock to come back to WWE.

 

I wanna see JBL/Rock in-ring face-offs.

Doom's going to bomb. Really bad.

 

I like Rock and all, but it's not going to be pretty.

Silly rabbit, they'll send Rock to RAW.

From Dave Meltzer:

 

"--Expect to see tons of Dwayne Johnson in the media over the next few weeks as it's promotion time for "Doom," the comedy based on the game."

 

Not exactly a statement that gives glowing hopes for the movie. However, there's probably enough stupid teenagers and computer geeks willing to buy tickets to see this that I bet the movie still does OK at the box office.

 

I thought these statements were also relevant, showing how WWE's stock has fallen in the public eye:

 

"--Everybody Hates Chris, the Chris Rock produced show that moved Smackdown to Fridays was a gigantic hit, beating everyone's wildest expectations due to the hype. The show delivered a 6.6 on the overnights, and more importantly, was 78% up from Smackdown in Adults 18-49. UPN is making tons more money with the line-up changed the way it was.

 

--None of the WWE programming last week made the top 30 in any demographic category, which is a rarity. That was the week where Raw had its lowest number in about a year, and Smackdown had its lowest number in history due to all the pre-emptions."

Hmm, I wonder if that was deliberate.

I'm assuming, so yes. Dave can actually be a rather biting writer when he wants to be.
