Stone Cold injured his neck so he wanted to slow down after his wrestling career.

The Rock established in the WWE that he was a superior entertainer amongst his colleagues

No charisma, simple as

The Rock oozes charisma
Austin's a charismatic guy too but just doesn't have the chops

I'll do you one better, how was Cena able to get character when he's the total opposite of The Rock.

>No charisma
lol Stone Cold has charisma in abundance the nature of his character was just much more one dimensional compared to The Rock's who could work successfully as a face or a heel

Say what you will about Rockie Boy, but a) He was a great wrestler. b) He loved his fellow wrestlers c) Him an Austin rivaled in their promos

Of that time... Tajiri was the best. Followed by Sabu & RVD.

He didn't try. You think he hasn't been offered movie deals? He would have been perfect for the 90s action genres right by Stallone and Van Damme.

Why wasn't Big Sexy's Hollywood career successful?

Dwayne Johnson sold his ass to elite Jews, that's why he has roles in Hollywood.

You guys seem to forget the Rocks first attempts at the big screen were complete failures. It was fast and furious that saved him. Austin never had an opportunity like that

>Say what you will about Rockie Boy
I got nothing but love for The Rock. He does some cringey boomer shit these days with his Insta and social media but I'll always have tons of respect for how absolutely based he was back in his prime.

Austin’s success had more to do with having good WWE script writers, while the Rock’s success was all his own.

All show and no go

>good WWE script writers
Back in the attitude era they didn't have scripts like they do now. The promos were all off top

At one time ECW had all three of these talents & puss'd out to Vince.

He's better looking and a better actor

Rocks always been likable and charismatic but let's just shoot straight to it.

He got a big push because he's not too dark and this is that era.

>Hasn't seen Welcome to the Jungle
His first film is probably his best

The Rock has a more marketable look to larger audiences.

Also, I'm not sure Stone Cold even wanted to pursue an acting career as much as The Rock did. So, that could be it, too.

Stone Cold's charisma is less suited to Hollywood and is more true to his authentic (southern) self. I still prefer Stone Cold

You now remember that triple h was in blade trinity.

>succesfully
Implying i watched a single rock movie

The Mummy Returns was a success

Stone Cold had bad knee injuries multiple times to both knees. It's difficult after that happens.

You get a knee injury that requires multiple surgeries, see how it feels.

he beat debra

The Rock's overall career is turning out to be middling tho

90% of his promos in the late 90s/early 00s were scripted by guys like Brian Gewrirtz. Mind you Rock still needed the charisma and mic skills to pull them off, but he didn't start doing a ton of improv until later once he was firmly established as one of the greats.

both of my knees are mildly worn, I don't blame the guy really.

>turning out to be middling
As far as film quality goes I'd agree he's yet to have his Terminator or Rambo but he's undeniably been very succesful. Isn't he like one the highest drawing and highest paid actors in Hollywood?

Whats Stone cold doing now a days apart from his podcast?
Meanwhile The Rock is starting in the summer blockbuster smash hit 9th Fast and Furious film

>90% of his promos in the late 90s/early 00s were scripted by guys like Brian Gewrirtz.
source? genuinely never heard that

Doesn't Stone Cold have all those redneck challenge shows on tv or did they get cancelled?

Every movie The Rock is in was complete trash. The Rock is just a promise that the movie will be some normie THINGS GO BOOM movie.

Not having watched any of the Rock’s other movies is forgivable, but you are robbing yourself of an actual bonofide kino if you haven’t seen Pain & Gain.

Rock was willing to suck cock and act like a faggot in shitty movies

>Every movie The Rock is in was complete trash.
Snitch was decent

wolfcuck seething

>Fast Five
>Pain and Gain
>Walking Tall
>Moana

Stone Cold wasn't interested. He had some long lasting injuries so he just wanted to kick and drink beers on his porch.

Because there is no market for white trash in America. Only niggers and other minorities and white women.

The rock was incredibly charismatic
Stone cold was not, but Steve did have mild success in TV

I’ll give you Pain and Gain because The Rock was entertaining in that. But I can easily skip everything else.

>Stone Cold wasn't interested
IDK if you can say that he did definitely try with some films like The Condemned

people seemed to enjoy hercules

aew?

Kenny Omega is the king of white trash?

Literally Who?

He was also good in Get Smart. Rock does his best performances when he’s a villain or side-character. I don’t much care about him as a lead.

I wanna get violently raped by The Rock

...

This is a Yea Forums related question ya mark

Dingus

Rock was a lot more family friendly than austin was. Austin was a lot more modest about his lifestyle than the rock was and never really cared too much about acting.

That 6' cunt weighing about 200lbs who can do everything. You giant lusting homo.

Both were phenomenal workers in the business but the rock had austin beat in the charisma department.

Stone Cold is so poor, he doesn't even have eyebrows

the rock got harvested

... I liked The Condemned.

Austin's character was loved by right wing southerners, which is not exactly hollywood.

Stone Cold was paid $25 million flat on a contract to make a bunch of shitty B movies. Why would he ever need more money than that?

Stone cold wasn’t litty enough

The Rock needs to do a movie were Rob Schneider plays his brother.

Rock n' Sock connection Vs. The Road Warriors:

a. Who wins?
b. Who draws?
c. Who pops?

these are the true answers, he got hurt and spent a lot of time in recovery and was never that interested in doing movies anyway. He makes more money plugging merchandise in his podcast and hosting a CMT show than starring in straight to DVD movies with Steven Seagal

He was in a couple of movies

he is THE highest paid and highest drawing actor in Hollywood history. RDJ got the highest single contract for Ironman but the Rock makes more money than everyone else in movies.

AEW is libshit.

Implying you matter to the Rock's or anyones else's sucess.

One of the most powerful producer and takent in hollywood, mutiple projects and his name can jumpstart scripts into production.
>middling

Bwahahahaha

Stone Cold isn't gay and willing to let producers fuck him.

a/ R&N win
b/ Rock always draws
c/ Hawk & Animal pull off a Steinbuster that makes the brothers drool

and the movie should to be 12 hours of The Rock beating the fuck out Rob with a shovel.

Wat.

I'm not into wrestling that much but I always thought of Cena as being the successor to The Rock. Confident, socially-competent, clean-cut, stands tall and holds head high, and so on. Cena is a little more clean-cut though, and The Rock more edgy.

Remake of this perhaps

It was very fortunate that the WWF was so based when I was 6-11 years old. It became WWE and went G rated just as I grew out of it.

He's never going to have a Terminator or Rambo.

God bless those Divas Trish and Lita helped me grow into a man

after rape he took too long hiatus

Same here.
The Rock and Triple H rivalry was the big thing when I was a child. Rock being the main face of the organisation and Triple H the main heel.

Funnily-enough, they had a wider viewerbase back then than they do now.

Going PG really cut down on their audience -- and being generally bad in quality.

The rocks first movie were trash. He simply endured enough and was doing it for so long basically you're bound to become a success.

Only reason he's huge now is because he piggy backed off of a huge franchise. He wasn't even good in it. He's not even a good actor. But he's a good guy and everyone knows him.

Same reason Stallone is still making shitty straight to DVD movies. They make profit.

The absolute state of hbgay.

Austin has been offered a fair share of roles during his wrestling career. He was supposed to play Patrick Warburton’s character in Scream 3.

I forget what movie it was in but some bad guy goes on a long diatribe about how difficult his life was and then Stone Cold says to him, "wow... Sounds like you've had a hard life. Good thing it's over." and then proceeds to shoot him in the face. Probably one of the hilarious action Kills I've ever seen.

I cant believe Triple H hasn't called him out for that shit.

Hollywood gave him the stone cold shoulder

Big Kev never was the same after the unusually mild summer of 1992. Those bulbasaurs really did a number on him.

That's cause triple gaytch also tried acting and went straight to dvd.

Austin was a terrible actor. If you need proof look up his guest spots on Nash Bridges

KWAB

Both Jim Ross and Bruce Prichard have confirmed this.

it was, but no one thought that the scorpion king looked good by any means. that shit was downright self parody.

This did come to mind.

hes up there but Tom Cruise dwarfs everyone in terms of money

I got my mom to buy me this VHS when I was like 6 or 7 and it had a montage of of women flashing their tits on it. First time I saw bare tits.
