Being part of a very successful TV program might help his brand. Getting millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia or whatever might help. Just betting on brand rejuvenation for delivering a "long-awaited" marquee match might help.

The way the SAG strike is going right now, Rock can get paid $8m to show up at Wrestlemania and break the line, WWE will bend over backwards thinking he'll wrestle, and the Rock will still say "This doesn't work for me brother" and not wrestle, derailing another year of wrestlemania

We're all assuming The Rock will come back for Wrestlemania when he would make way more money wrestling Roman at Blood Money. Didn't they bill that first one as bigger than Wrestlemania?

"Only in the third inning" right now for the Reigns run, would still be the seventh inning by then

Strike may help Rock's movie career by placing time between his bombs and next project too... I don't think he's wrestling again just cause he doesn't want to take the bumps

The thing about The Rock's movie career, (and in contrast to the other big two wrestlers that went to Hollywood Cena and Batista), is: Batista is an actor, Cena is a comedian, but Rock is a "movie star". An actor will always be able to act, a comedian will mostly stay funny. But a "movie star" is either white hot super duper famous and powerful and adored, or stone cold, dropped and forgotten the next day. Especially an action "movie star" like the Rock is. It's exactly what happened with Black Adam. From being a glorious superstar one day, to "meh" the next, due to one misjudged "product".

I really can’t think of a single role in the past 10 years where I enjoyed what The Rock was doing. Its just serious action Dwayne or goofy Dwayne and they’re both extremely boring. It’s just baffling. John Cena is light years ahead of Dwayne for the goofy roles and its insulting to even compare him to Batista in any way so I won’t.

I can't even think of what his next project is. I guess he's gone crawling back to the Fast and Furious main series. But his DC stuff is dead. He has no successful franchise of his own. His TV series got canceled. I don't think they can keep making Jumanji films, but even then those are ensemble films. I guess he can keep partnering up with Kevin Hart.

He came crawling back to Vin Diesel's Fast and Furious, yeah. Extremely humiliating considering how much he tried to make himself the hero/Vin the villain in their feud before he bailed the first time

It's bad but I still liked Red Notice (mainly cause I like anything Reynolds is in). Make another one so Vince gets another Egg or something weird. Drakkel posted:Is Young Rock still going or did that get cancelled? Was cancelled this past June. Had 3 seasons

Red Notice 2 is in production (or was), as well as a bunch of other sequels and original films. All of this doomsaying over Rock's movie career is so weird. He had a couple underperformers, but he's still one of the top actors in Hollywood and producers don't seem to be losing any faith.

Mrs. Dash posted:I think yall are worrying too much about the Rock's Hollywood career being over after a DC flop when the guy survived Doom and Be Cool You are entirely right. Black Adam was a superhero blockbuster released at the arse end ofan oversaturated cycle of superhero blockbusters. And it didn't lose money, just didn't make as much as Avatar. His career will be fine. He won't starve, and will continue to command multi million dollar pay days. But also, The Rock didn't whinge and get defensive and sook as much about Doom, Be Cool, or his other flops.

Yeah Black Adam was a really bad look for him in multiple ways. I think if it had gone better, there’s no way he would have returned to a mainline Fast and Furious movie
