The Rock Says He's Done With The WWE

[Perfection]

-- The Rock was recently interviewed on the Filmforce.com website about several of his upcoming film projects including Get Cool and Spy Hunter. When the topic of a WWE return comes up, he commented,

"No. They've been wanted for a long time to get into the movie business and, I'm not too sure, I think like low budget movies, a lot of them straight to video. I think they wanted to and were looking for different distributors. No, my contract is actually up with them, it was up last year, so I'm done…"

He got out just in time. He;s bigger than the WWE anyways. Nobody other thank Hulk Hogan could ever really say that. Not Austin, not HHH, definitely not Chyna lol

Rock is one of the most down to earth guys.  He doesnt want to be known as the rock anymore as wwe owns that name.  hes gonne use his real name dwayne johnson.

rock is tite, hes funny as hell. but i wish he'd stay with the wwe, he made the sorriest angles of RAW seem entertaining

[ARYC]

u know the Rock is THE guy u'd want representing ur company. I mean a lot of wrestlers come off as a idiots when interviewed but the rock coems off as an intelligent down to earth guy.
I wihs he was around more because he's the most entertaining guy on the roster.

There was a time when Austin was certainly bigger than the WWE. When Nash Bridges was a hit show and he guest starred a couple times, he was asked multiple times to leave wrestling full time and start his own show based on the character he played in Nash Bridges. Starring in a one hour action series on CBS is a big deal when they are personally requesting you.

I heard Rocky does own the rights to his name too.

[The Watcher]

nah, he doesnt own the rights to his name. thats why Vince is listed as a producer on every movie he's in or he gets paid heaps in exchange. that's also why you see the rock usin his real name in movies 'the rock aka dwayne johnson' etc.. so he can stop usin the rock and stop payin vince

on a side note, the rock also said he would kiss another guy in a movie if it called for it. what a ponce.

Word to that!!!!!!

The Rock does not exactly pay Vince McMahon and the WWE for using the name in his movies.It's the movie studio that pays Vince McMahon and that's why he gets a "executive producer" credit for allowing Dwayne Johnson to use a WWE copyrighted name.
The Rock looks like he's got tons of movie offers on the table that will definitely keep him busy in Hollywood but i think in the long run he will always come back to wrestling because that's where his heart is and where his family legacy lives.You can check out the latest

[Rampant]

Im not a fan of wrestling
Im not a fan of rock movies

but he does seem like a cool guy so uh....good for him that he's leaving wwe

[dexter]

Good

[Glendale]

first generation X broke up, now the rock, nothing good is left.

[-Euthanasia-]

im pretty sure vince gave up the rights to the name a lil while ago, and the Rock needs his wrestling audience to have any prolonged success in Hollywood. He can coast for a while, but without the Millions...
