In 2002, I watched The Rock and Hollywood Hulk Hogan have their Icon vs. Icon match at Wrestlemania 18. It was the passing of the torch. Hulk Hogan, a manipulating control freak whose sole motivation in life is to accumulate as much wealth, power, and adoration as possible, was transferring the baton over The Rock so he may begin his own egotistical rampage over the world.
22 years later and The Rock is around the same age Hogan was when they faced off—except The Rock’s approval rating is so astronomical, people genuinely want him to run for President.
When you’re in the position Dwayne Johnson is in, you tend to have a stuffed calendar. Your to-do list is longer than the list of lies Hulk and Rock could ping-pong back and forth forever.
This week, TheWrap is reporting The Rock may or may not have ruined a movie’s production by often being hours late.
According to TheWrap, Red One, a Christmas movie that was supposed to release December 2023, was pushed back to this November thanks to The Rock often showing up 7-8 hours late and the crew having to either film around him or wait—costing them a ton of movie.
Oh, he also kept handing random people bottles of piss.
“On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom,” one insider who knows the movie star well said. “He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”
Look, did you cast The Rock to sell movie tickets and however streaming works? Or did you cast The Rock to show up on time or to urinate in the bathroom or to treat others with respect?
My man was at Wrestlemania this year, carrying around a fake championship belt WWE haphazardly created out of spare parts lying around an old warehouse to soothe his ego while standing next to his cousin, Roman Reigns.
So yea, Chris Evans and JK Simmons will have to stand on set, awkwardly waiting for The Rock to finish peeing in a Voss bottle—an important detail to make sure everyone understands it’s the bottle with the biggest opening just in case you thought The Rock had a little poland spring weiner—no matter how long it takes. He’s busy attempting to usurp control over DC movies and in doing so, inadvertently destroying the DC universe, directly leading to James Gunn taking the job he so blatantly wanted and disastrously failed to obtain. It’s like how an episode of Three’s Company would end.
This story sounds like another strange step in a career that appears to be crashing right before our eyes as The Rock has taken L after L after L, falling so far into desperation, he put the clown makeup back on and rode his unicycle through the circus against Cody Rhodes just to regain an audience he abandoned for 13 years.
The Rock is running for president in 2028 once every studio refuses to work with him, he tears his ACL in a ladder match for the Tag Team titles with Mick Foley and the UFL goes out of business. And I am absolutely voting for him over one of Donald Trump’s special needs sons.
Is The Rock’s career fizzling out before our eyes? Leave a comment below. Respond on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Or shoot me an email at Deadseriousmailbag@gmail.com. Let’s chat, bay-beeeee. Let me know if you can’t wait to watch The Rock Red One movie thing so I can call CPS.
