The Rock may not have broken the pro wrestling pay-per-view buys record at WrestleMania 29, but the huge $122.2 million opening weekend of Fast & Furious 6 led to the biggest combined Memorial Day weekend box office in movie business history.
Forty-one years ago today, a Rock was born in California. Some would go on to say it was simply "in his blood" to turn wrestler once his football career didn't pan out. And now he has become a household name.
WWE's annual shareholders meeting was held on Friday April 26th, 2013 and proved to be a nightmare for investors who were already skeptical about the company's optimism about their long planned WWE Network. Once again no new plans were revealed.
As you can see from this tweet, just a few days after his interview with Peter Rosenberg, The Rock has yet to have a change of heart and is still uncertain about whether he'll ever wrestle again. Personally, I think he will eventually decide to compete at WrestleMania 30 once he's fully healed up. A match with Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker would promise to be another special moment in The Rock's wrestling career. Moreover, due to the milestone anniversary nature of next year's event, once again the show is set to be bigger than ever.
Famed movie Director Michael Bay recently made comments that Dwayne Johnson should "grow up" and "stop wrestling 300-pound men" after The Rock was forced to miss promotional engagements for their collective effort Pain & Gain thanks to injuries suffered at WrestleMania 29 in his match with John Cena. That quote was picked up by countless outlets and taken quite seriously but Rock is passing it off as simply a joke, as you can see in the tweet above. Much ado about nothing?
The latest complaints the backstage heat magnet Dwayne Johnson has drawn is that he failed to plug WWE in his recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. However, The Rock was likely told not to do so by his G.I. Joe: Retaliation paymasters.
Hulk Holland is back and melting down the physiques of WWE superstars. Why strive to be big and muscular if it limits your ability to work while labeling you a roid head? That question and more pondered inside. Just bring it!
Whilst promoting the launch of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took the opportunity to throw down a grandstand challenge to Star Wars Episode VII director J.J. Abrams and toss his name into the hat for a starring role in the movie.
'WrestleMania 17' redux? A reflection on Stone Cold's heel turn, and why turning John Cena is not the end of the world...
Not elevating Cena to anything other than king of the WWE Universe-compared to Rock's brand awareness, is like comparing Alabama Crimson Tide to the Baltimore Ravens. People know ‘Bama won the BCS, but no sane person puts them on par with the Ravens.
