I remember seeing an interview where he talked about being 23 or 24 and his NFL creams being crushed, and he had to move back in with his parents with no job and only seven dollars to his name. 3-4 years later, he's one of the hottest superstars in the WWE and would eventually go down as one of the best ever. Years after that, he'd become one of the highest paid men in Hollywood. He could retire tomorrow and he would have achieved in the last 15 or so years what most people don't achieve in a lifetime.
Maybe he'll run for President one day as well. :rock:

Wow. The Rock worship on this forum is staggering. One of the most inspirational men in the world? Err, okay. He failed at the NFL and went to WWE where his sucess was practically handed to him because of his heritage. He then took his popularity and made movies with it. Where exactly is the inspiration? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't almost all big time celebrities have a rags to riches story? Any number of hip-hop artists come to mind. Oh well. Threads like this confuse me. I'll probably never understand why the great one is so great.

Still he would have to be somewhat decent at wrestling and if he didn't have the charisma that he does, he would have gotten nowhere near as far today (It was probably scripted but you still need to be able to sound awesome when pulling it off). So even if it was handed to him, the fact the crowd and people love him so much, is a testament to his hard work. Just look at Cena they push him down our throats and most of us just can't stand the man. I'm not a Rock mark by any means, but credit where credit is due, he got to the top.

I know, I know, lol. The Rock's very talented and charismatic and his success is very impressive, no one's disputing that. I just thought the title of the thread was a little naive, that's all. I find more inspiration in someone like CM Punk, personally. The Rock got to where he is with a great deal of support and natural ability. Punk got to where he is without support and natural ability. To me, that's more impressive. But it's stupid to praise Punk in a Rock thread, so I'll just shut up, lol.
Laura said:
Yeah we could talk for years about how people like Punk and Bryan are genuinely good wrestlers who have done so much more than people like the Rock but we'd clearly be hated on. But as for the Rock, yeah it still took some skill and talent to get as far as he did today, so I do try to give him some respect even if at the moment, I can't stand him in the WWE
! I do agree that the thread title is way too naive about this though.

Yes, then if you wait 7-10 years, you get a title show absolutely free!
