The Rock Not a Fan of Films Starring Wrestlers
Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 02.03.2012
I'm guessing he's seen 12 Rounds...
- The Rock said in a recent Q&A that he's not a fan of most films starring wrestlers. When asked if he's ever seen a film starring a wrestler that he enjoyed, he answered:
[Long pause] "The only film I've enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. That's it."

Fuck you Rock! Suburban Commmando was awesome!

The Rock is a wrestler tho and he stars in films. kinda hypocritical.
Posted By: Guest#2349 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 09:23 AM
Maybe his initial co-stars back in 2001-2002 felt the same way.

rock is working the wrestling fans.

I guess he's ashamed to admit that No Holds Barred was a fantastic film......BROTHERRRRR

Hogan & Rock showdown in Chicago..."Good luck because you're gonna need it"...."Not as much as youuuu......brotherrrr!!!!!"
JR: "OHHHHH BROTHERRRRRR"
One of JR's finest moments

So much for his, "I opened the door, so you could follow" speech. What a phony hack.
Posted By: Guest#7414 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 10:00 AM
so he obviously hasn't seen They Live
Posted By: Jay Maleezy (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Not too surprising. Huge difference between wrestlers who act (the vast majority, including Austin) and actors who used to be wrestlers (pretty much only The Rock).

Did he see The Wrestler? That had actual wrestlers in it
Posted By: Bill (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 10:28 AM
The Wrestler sucked
Posted By: Guest#9188 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 10:45 AM
He meant the garbage Hogan spewed out. Anybody remember Santa with Muscles, or Assault on Death Mountain, or No Holds Barred, or Mr. Nanny? That's just 4 examples. There's a lot more. Hogan was the king of completely shitty movies.

Says the professional wrestler who was the star of such classics like Tooth Fairy, Journey 2 and Escape to Witch Mountain.

I love the Rock... but I guess he forgot about WWE FILMS and "The Rundown" hypocritical comment i would say
Posted By: Lance (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 11:19 AM
The Rock OBVIOUSLY has no soul if he didn't enjoy The Princess Bride! Everyone knows that is the greatest movie to ever have a wrestler in it.
Posted By: Princess Bride>Tooth Fairy (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 11:23 AM
They Live and The Princess Bride...maybe that rocky movie hogan was in, i don't remember if it was one of them that was considered good or not.

I hope Cena whoops the Rocks ass at wrestlemania. Send that wrestling sellout back to Hollywood. He doesn't care about the people, just cares about upping his fame.
Posted By: Guest#7610 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 01:02 PM
So I guess that means he hates his own films.

Posted By: Bill (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Ok so I didn't see his quote about seeing The Wrestler, big whoop, but still he said "staring a wrestler", there's at least 10 wrestlers in that movie

This will rule all these comments! lol and THATS the truth!
Posted By: The Truth (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 01:33 PM
So...did he just indirectly admit to hating every films he's been in? Join the club Rocky. And stop making movies.
Posted By: Alan (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 01:46 PM
I was perplexed when I first read this until I realized he didn't mean films starring wrestlers he means films where the main character is a wrestler. That explains it.
Posted By: Adam (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:00 PM
So... He doesn't enjoy his own films?
Posted By: Guest#4357 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:04 PM
I think what he is saying is not that he doesn't like movies that star someone who is also a wrestler.. but rather that he doesn't like movies where the characters in the movie are wrestlers. As far as I know Mickey Rourke wasn't a professional wrestler, he was a boxer.
Posted By: Guest#9492 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:14 PM
Same way I feel about any movie the rock is in, they suck. tooth fairy
Posted By: Guest#2501 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:26 PM
He didn't like Princess Bride? What an asshole.
Posted By: Cactus (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:26 PM
The most humble guy in Hollywood. He just admitted all his movies suck.
Posted By: Guest#8309 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:35 PM
I guess he's seen the Tooth fairy.
Posted By: Who (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:45 PM
They Live, Princess Bride, X-Men, Spider-Man, and absolutely nothing starring Dwayne Johnson.
Posted By: Mark of Excellence (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 02:46 PM
He's finally watched his movies!
Posted By: Leon (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 03:04 PM
What a hyprocrite! He says he "opened the door for other wrestlers to be in films", and then he flat out says "I don't watch movies with wrestlers except 'The Wrestler'". This is why I'm not Team Cena for Wrestlemania. By the way, Guest#9497, Mickley Rourke isn't a boxer. He's an actor who got one hell of a punch in on Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania 25.
Posted By: Carlos M. (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 04:31 PM
The Rocks 2 best movies were Gridiron Gang and Walking Tall everything else was trash.
Posted By: Guest#9944 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 04:48 PM
How could he not like Predator & The Running Man
Posted By: Guest#7374 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 05:34 PM

Posted By: Guest#0840 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 09:25 AM
And they're too fucking dumb too realize it
Posted By: Guest#2260 (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 05:37 PM
Both Princess Bride and They Live blow away ANYTHING that the Rock has been in
Posted By: Sir Robin (Guest) on February 03, 2012 at 05:52 PM
The Longest Yard
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
The Godfather
Blazing Saddles

Stone Cold is going to be PISSED.

I would like to apologize for one little mistake I made...I AM on Team Cena for Wrestlemania!
