JR talks Dwayne

[MikeRaw]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Ross recently updated his Q & A section on his official website at JRsBarBQ.com where he took on the subject of Dwayne “The Rockâ€￾ Johnson completely distancing himself from pro wrestling.

"Dwayne Johnson is no sellout," said J.R. "Those that say that come off sounding ignorant in my view."

The Rock quietly retired around 2004, and has since become a major action movie star with endorsement from Disney as a leading man.

"Dwayne's work ethic while he was in WWE was beyond approach as was his character. He was never a problem and no one ever put forth more effort in the ring. The results he attained are documented. There may be some who say they would not have done what Dwayne did which was simply change vocations/jobs but the vast majority of wrestlers that I have ever known would have done the same thing if given the opportunity," Ross continued "I am proud of Dwayne's WWE accomplishments and I am a big fan of his movie work. Dwayne Johnson will always have the wrestling business in his blood but he simply went into another line of work. Why do people find that so hard to understand?"

So JR didn't ACTUALLY addressed Johnson's "DISTANCING" himself from wrestling AT ALL then?!?!?! :roll:

You've gotta be pretty dumb to condenm a man for a change of career, HOWEVER all sensible criticism is born of his denial of his wrestling past.

rocky is no sellout imo. To tell you the truth the only reason he distanced himself from wrestling in general i think is because he would probably seem like some sort of joke to Hollywood. You can't honestly think Hollywood would take a wrestler seriously as a real actor, no matter how hard he works. To be taken seriously Rocky had to distance himself imo. And good on him, I know i have had many changes from one thing to snother in my life, its not hard to lose some passion for something, just because the passion isn't there as it once was doesnt make him a sellout.
