    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is one awesome actor and wrestler hide show

    I think that this dude is awesome and I loved his wrestler name "The Rock". It was great that he returned to WrestleMania but it kind of disappoints me because he said back in 1999 that he would not return to WrestleMania no matter what but if that's what he wants then I'm very happy and he is an awesome wrestler and an awesome actor. What I love about this dude is that even though he is a huge buff dude... he loves to do kid movies. I love all of the movies that he has done and I think the only movie that I found entertaining but not good was "Faster". "Faster" was an entertaining movie and the plot was well written but some parts in that movie just seemed to drag in my opinion. I loved his kid movies such as "The Game Plan", "Planet 51", "Tooth Fairy", and one or two more. I loved the comedy "The Other Guys" that he was in even though he was only in that movie for the first 10 minutes and I especially laughed out loud at the film "Get Smart". Excuse my language in this part, I thought that he kicked @$$ in "Fast Five" which was the most explosive action film that Dwayne Johnson was in. Overall, this dude is huge and awesome and definitely cares about his fans and isn't a show-off. 10/10

    The Rock is the man! Don't forget your first fans that need you back in the ring occassionally. Vince McMahon rarely makes mistakes in wrestling, but losing "The Rock" was his biggest blunder. hide show

    The Rock is the best in whatever he pursues. Without a doubt, a pure entertainer with limitless talent. I have enjoyed everything he has done, respect his desire to grow, but I can't enjoy wrestling without him. He has proven his versatility. I just ask you Mr. Johnson to please, don't completely end your wrestling career. I hope you can perform occasionly for your original fans that have supported you throughout your career. Mr. Johnson, please go back to your favorite barbershop and pickup some new smack talk for your fans.I always thought you would come back, don't let me down!

    I love WWE, so I used to see a lot of him. hide show

    The Rock is an actor who used to be a professional wrestler for WWE. He was my favorite wrestler of all time and still is, but then he decided to start acting. I would much rather see him wrestle, but it's alright. He is a really good actor and starred in some really good movies, such as "The Rundown", "Walking Tall", and in one of the "Mummy" movies as the mummy, but I'm not sure which one. He seems like one of those guys who should have a talk show (If you watched him on WWE, then you will understand why).

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the Most Electilfing man in sports Entertainment and now in Hollywood. hide show

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the Most Electilfing man in sports Entertainment and now in Hollywood. Dwayne, a 3rd generation wrestler his grandfather is the late great High Chief Peter Maivia and his father is Rocky Johnson. Dwayne has a lot of charisma, speed, agitly, has great mic skills, and he can wrestle. Dwayne has had great rivales with Vince and Shane McMahon, Triple H, Mankind( a lot of great memories) and the best one of all Stone Cold Steve Austin they have head lined 3 Wrestlemanias, the greatest rivalry in history. Dwayne has done some of the best promos ever. He also created some of the greatest catchphrase ever like laying the Smackdown on your candy ass. Smackdown is now in the dictionary. Shut Your Mouth, Finally! The Rock has come back to... What's your name?
    Person: I'm ...
    The Rock: (interrupting) It doesn't matter what your name. Dwayne is a 7 time WWE champion, a 2 time WCW champion, 2 time IC champion, a 5 time tag team champion(3 with mankind as The Rock and Sock Connection)(1 time with the Undertaker)(1 time with Chris Jericho) Dwayne has had success in and out of the ring. He now is a actor he has done 9 movies with eight being successful. I hope He returns to the WWE had wrestles Stone Cold, John Cena(imagine the promos) and Shawn micheals could go down as a match of the century.
