Young Rock looked like a fake show. Like nobody involved gave a poo poo and just kept doing it for three years.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

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

the problem is Black Adam is meant to be a haughty-rear end in a top hat and The Rock cannot play haughty so he made the character into just nothing

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Black Adam wasn’t good but I would love to see a JSA spin-off with that cast.

Wakanda Forever is pretty blah but the guy who played Namor hopefully is still laughing his rear end off considering that's the other role people had fan-casted The Rock for for ages.

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

Be Cool is what made him in Hollywood. People hated that movie but praised The Rock's performance as Elliot the gay bodyguard who dreams of being an actor.

After some cursory Googling it seems that he posted about being sexually assaulted by a police officer and "harassed at the JFK airport" in a post that has since been deleted.

Accused the NY Port Authority of sexually assaulting him, but then deleted the post. The only recent news I can find about it is from Ringside News (lol lmao) who has said that Port Authority had reached out saying he was publicly intoxicated, belligerent, and trying to use his WWE name to get leeway.

I didn't know if someone more reliable had come forth with an update that matches theirs, but I guess not.

The article cites Ringside News as its source, which is why I'm skeptical of it.

With that being said, Riddle couldn't have picked a worse week to do this either (assuming its true), since the WWE/Endeavor merger is set to be completed this week.

The Port Authority would have no clue who Riddle is and he isn't important enough to have WWE move a finger.

Come to think of it, when has that tactic worked for anyone not a scion of a authority figure?

Pretty much never, as far as I can remember. And the last time an onscreen WWE character tried to pull the "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" card (Greg Hamilton), they ended up getting fired.

There’s not a lot of relatively fully formed black superheroes to choose from if you’re a black actor built like a comic book superhero. Black Adam had kind of a rise and was written as a morally ambiguous anti hero character and I can see how The Rock would get sold on it being a good role for him and then spending all those years building it up in his head as the superhero boom happened and there was theoretically a place for him in a big cinematic universe. I imagine that also factored into his trying to keep Adam separate from Shazam so he wouldn’t just be a villain as there’s very few in the MCU/DCEU with any real staying power behind 1 film.

That being said even if his career is relegated to Fast and Furious sequels and more b actions I think he’ll probably be fine. After all they’re still making Expendables movies for someone.
