Gross Rev for Rock movies hes a main star in...
Scorpion King $90 Million
Rundown $47 Million
Walking Tall $45 Million
Be Cool $55 Million
Doom $28 Million
Gridiron Gang $38 Million
The Game Plan $110 Million
Movies that grossed more then Rock movies
Home on the Range ($50 Million; More then all of Rocks Movies but 2)
King Arthur ($51 Million; More then all of Rocks movies but 2)
Mighty Joe Young ($50 Million; See Above)
Speed 2 ($49 Million)
Series of great movies that all of Rocks movies cant equal
The Matrix Series ($1,623,967,842)
The Rocky Series ($600,000,000 aprox)
Indian Jones Series ($1,771,245,531)
No Rock movies are even in the top 50 of Highest grossing of all time. If Johnson was just pulled off the street to act and didnt have a wrestling fans following, half his movies wouldnt have done as well as they have. Lord knows I bought Mr Nanny, Thunder in Paradise and 3 Ninjas and ONLY because it was a wrestler in the movie

I dont understand what the hell youre getting at. If its that he left wrestling to do crapty movies, and because the movies arent that good, he should go back to wrestling, then well that still doesnt explain how hes a sell-out. |

No, he didn't sell out. He made a smart move by getting out of such a crappy business. Who the hell wants to stay in a deadend business when a movie career is waiting to set him up for life? Wrestling isn't the end all, be all of the world. It's a scummy, idiotic business and if someone has the chance to get out, go right on ahead.

If you notice i put "WHERE ROCK IS A MAIN STAR" Since I havent seen the movie Im not 100% sure if he is a main star in it or just a cameo like in the Reno 911 movie (which I didnt count) [/quote]You really suck at trying to make a point.

The Rock is a sellout because he doesnt want to acknowledge that wrestling is what MADE him a Movie star. The Rock's new DVD was just released, Where was he at to promote it? WWE came to Rock about inducting Johnson and Miavia in the HOF but were afraid they would have to hold off on it cause "rock was filming a movie" If he doesnt want to acknowledge his past then fine, drop the use of the name and rights of The Rock. Go by your Real name Dwayne Johnson and stay away from wrestling and anything wrestling related forever. The movie stats were just a point to prove to someone, I think Mark that Dwaynes Movies dont generate as much money as people would like to think they do |

They actually have. If you were so ignorant and blinded, you would know that. Get Smart is going to do fantastic numbers in the box office Wrestling Fans: So selfish, it's crazy. Riiiiiiight, I bet get smart will win him an Oscar too, just like all of his other crap movies have. Did I say that...I proved you wrong in your ignorant statement that said cause lord know Doom, Get Smart, Rundown and Walking Tall made you as much money as Main Eventing Wrestlemania HILARIOUS! No one ever said anything about winning oscars, no one said Rock was going to be winning oscars. you're fumbling now...Just drop it. |

He probably liked wrestling at first but as years went on he just used wrestling as a ticket to make it in hollywood. He didnt really seel out but it wouldnt kill him to give us one more match.

So you're saying he makes more money doing 30mins of film work then doing a 30 min main event at Wrestlemaina?? Think about that...Im not saying the whole 3-4 months of filming, 30 mins of filming compared to 30mins of Wrestlemania |
