Calm down, 38 was great but not too 5, maybe top 10 Top 10 or 15 easily but it’s still fresh in our heads so I can’t blame people for saying top 5. Austin’s involvement alone will make me put WM38 above most other WMs in the past plus it also had a few other highlights.

In fewer words: you can't be taken seriously as an actor if you're wrestling. That's why Cena only does comedy or action. Every role The Rock does is comedy or action lol Cena's Peacemaker role has had more emotion in his character than all of the roles The Rock has played in the last decade You have a very skewed perception of things. A Pornstar was literally the lead role in arguably one of the biggest shows in the last decade, Euphoria I guess you didn't watch Ballers on HBO? And Euphoria one of the biggest shows of the last DECADE? Your age is showing, kiddo.

That was then. He is one of Hollywood's main draws now. WWE is beneath him. And I don't write that as a fan of Rock. I can't stand him. I write that as a knock on him. He thinks he's better than WWE now and going back will tarnish what he's created. He could be given a 007 type role one day, other major Hollywood roles, etc. If he "wrassles" again his image will slide back down. If this were true then he wouldn’t have come back at WM 27, 28, and 29. He also wouldn’t have shown up at the Royal Rumble a few years ago. He’s already established his name is Hollywood and wrestling wouldn’t diminish it. If anything, his name has only gotten bigger since those appearances which would show that wrestling doesn’t negatively impact his acting career. It either proves the opposite or the fact that there is not a strong correlation. Either way your mindset is completely off. Again, I'm talking about where he is NOW. Why is everyone so defensive/protective over the Rock? It's just my opinion. I'd gladly make a money wager with someone on here. He will not be facing Roman at WM next year. Any takers?

He even made a tape for Impact wrestling. Wrestling in WWE won't "tarnish" anything for him. He's the biggest movie star on the planet. Exactly. The biggest star on the planet doesn't do wrasslin'. B stars do. Hi, Paul brothers. Hi, Jackass "stars". Cena only does it because he's known to be a meathead. Rock wants to BE Hollywood. Sorry if you have to admit wrestling is pathetic. I do and still watch it. But no one respects it.

WON exclusive: Young Rock season two will not be shown on television and the show has been summarily cancelled, after executive producer Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson discovered that the writers had included references to wrestling in the show. Johnson has desperately tried to distance himself from associating with wrestling for the last two decades, including his appearance at this year’s Super Bowl where he performed a monologue as The Rock and delivered several of his old wrestling catchphrases.

Sorry if you have to admit wrestling is pathetic. I do and still watch it. But no one respects it. The Rock is such a big star now that he doesn't have to worry about getting roles. He just makes them himself. He's legitimately the biggest star in Hollywood right now. Obviously wrestling is considered low class, but the Rock is still involved with it. It's not "beneath him" like you're claiming. Also, A stars do get involved with wrestling. Mr. T was on one of the biggest shows of the 80's. Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman were NBA superstars. Bad Bunny is one of the biggest music stars in the entire world. Logan Paul had one of the biggest PPV buyrates of all time. Those aren't "B" stars whether you want to admit it or not.

<abbr title="Apr 4, 2022 2:09:17 GMT -5" class="o-timestamp time" data-timestamp="1649056157000"> 2022 2:09:17 GMT -5</abbr> wolvenbear said:I can't claim I watched this. It was a terrible card, except for Edge/AJ Styles and POTENTIALLY the main event. This is probably the worst card I can remember. And the results are worse. After bringing back Rousey, and making her the biggest deal ever, she lost to Flair. Again. After dragging the story out between Reigns and Lesnar for 8 months, they let Reigns retain AGAIN. The stale champ who should've lost the belt last mania to Edge STILL drags the company down. WWE simply can't put on shows anymore. You didn't watch it but you'll give an opinion anyway. Makes sense... It does actually. If the matches don't interest me, I won't watch. If the booking is bad, I don't need to see the match to know that the story was lacking, or non-existent, or thrown together. If the result annoys me, for the reasons that I stated, it is annoying whether or not I saw the match. Literally every fan has made the choices I just made. I'm sure the snark factor overcomes what I said though.

(I liked the first Suicide Squad, but I am in a very tiny minority in this.) It is less serious of an acting role in terms of career than Scorpion King was for Rock. Cena's career has consisted almost exclusively of bit parts and complete flops...usually produced by WWE. Cena's movie career is slightly above Kane, but below Stone Cold. Comparing his career to the Rock's in a positive way simply doesn't make sense to me. Cena will never be in the same league.

What did you think of this 2 day event?
What were your lows and highs of this years Wrestlemania?
What match you think could have been cut?

Finally. I’ve been waiting for someone to start a thread about it. The most stupendous two night WrestleMania of all time and nobody on WFigs has mentioned it. Becky had new hair, Angelo Dawkins shaved his beard off, Kofi and Woods were bare-legged. This stuff used to be Wfigs’ bread and butter. There’d have been a thread each for all of it. Yet there wasn’t even a thread for the event itself until now.

The second one gave Cena more time, but did not achieve success. Suicide Squad 2 was panned by critics. Vacation Friends was a direct to internet release that lost money. Cena does a voice over in Doolittle. Hardly important. And the movie got crap reviews. Playing With Fire has reviews below See No Evil. (See No Evil has a 7.2 on IMDB vs Playing With Fire's 5.2. In Fairness, See No Evil does not deserve a 7.2) All of Cena's major roles: The Marine, 12 Blocks, and Playing With Fire were produced in whole or in part by WWE. I am not sure what your point is here.

Calm down, 38 was great but not too 5, maybe top 10 Oh, I didn’t realize you were making my opinions for me now. Do I still think Lex Luger is a ing bum?

I haven't really thought that much about it but I think 38 would probably be in my top 5. So many great matches especially Bianca/Becky,Seth/Cody,Raw Tag,Pat/Theory and Edge/AJ. If the Roman/Brock match would've been better,it definitely would've been top 5 easy. Austin returning,Cody's homecoming and the celebrity stuff,just so many fun things to enjoy. That d*** "big mouth podcaster,stunt man and f***ing Logan Paul" did pretty well,so maybe we won't have to hear about how bad celebrities are for Mania going forward🤷

I am not sure what your point is here. Suicide squad 2 literally has 90% on rotten tomatoes The point is that he’s booking parts in huge Hollywood movie franchises and you’re saying he’s slightly above Kane in terms of star power in a movie

I loved blockers, he was hilarious in that. I don't care for most of his other movies, but it's been a successful transition for sure.

Love how we're acting like the rock is Robert De Niro or something..."too big for wrestling" 🤣
When Rocks starts winning Oscar's & Emmy's for his movies, then we can have that discussion. Until then he's just another Hollywood actor making mid movies with scattered hits, mostly as a member of an ensemble cast.

Using critical reception to compare who has the most "successful" movie career seems dubious. Don't get me wrong, the Rock's at the top and has the biggest name (and box office) but he ain't exactly out there making Dog Day Afternoon.
