Dwayne Johnson was perfectly happy being Dwayne Johnson and not the rock anymore. Then that movie bombs and everything changes. Suddenly The Rock has to return.

No I'm not saying I don't think the rock never would have returned to wwe. Obviously he was always going to have some role in the company. I don't think you would have returned in the capacity he has though. This is a pivot because Hollywood hasn't worked out the way he wanted.

About to say he hasn't been successful in hollywood. His career speaks for itself. But the perception that he is built up over the last decade in particular is not a good one. Especially when it comes to public perception. Black Adam did him no favors in this regard.

Dwayne Johnson is The family man, the movie star, the guy that wants to sell you some tequila and maybe an energy drink or two. The rock is the shit talking, charismatic, fun wrestler. The problem wwe, and The Rock, seem to have currently is the Dwayne can't figure out which character he wants to be

The problem last night is evident of this. He kept going back and forth from being the fun-loving movie star dwayne, and the shit talking upset the audience, rock. You can't have it both ways. Pick a line and stick with it.

Either be the fun loving, corporate shilling, movie star Dwayne Johnson that works for tko. Or be the shit talking, jabroni hating, poontang pie eating, Rock that wrestling fans won. You can't be both. Especially standing in the ring talking to the audience. He wants to be both. It's not sustainable
