How did The Rock go from flopping for a decade + to biggest movie star in the game?

[Art Barr]

Rock was on TV daily Two to three times a week.
That realistically. No one in Hollywood.
has that level of experience.
to know the game of attrition involved and how to be successful. at the long term game of attrition a draw based business is. If you think about it. The Rock is where he is because he consistently put in more time professionally.
On a stage than the other people in Hollywood.
Especially in a world.
where you can be rewarded.
just for beating the long term war of attrition.
that is a draw based business.
Rock actually has more on screen time, than anyone else in Hollywood.

Which imo is why he is the highest draw.
As more people witnessed him in numerous gateways. Plus consistency in the film market.
which goes a long way for the outsider art Hollywood blockbuster draw.
the rock has developed into.

Rock literally learned to job the big match. Or in Hollywood's case. Man a box office loss or lack of critical acclaim. While still remaining over. Which I attribute to rock's beginnings.
as an outsider art style actor. Hailing from the squared circle of all places.

He played a Ferry and a Tooth Ferry he doesn't really claim his black side as much and he makes them folks feel comfortable

 

[Roid Jones]

Family friendly movies

Heavy social media presence

PG brand image

Muscular physique

Leveraging WWE legacy when convenient

 

[Buddy]

Right about here

 

[Roid Jones]

FAST & FURIOUS FRANCHISE
GAVE HIM A LEGIT LOOK
AS AN ACTION HERO.

HE WENT ON A ROLL
AFTER THAT.

True, I know he hates to admit it but F5 sent him to the moon

He only has F&F now. That Hobbs n Shaw wasn’t gonna last and black Adam flopped

Wont even ask you how

 

[Jasonmask]

Jumanji?

They still doing those? Add that in too if they still doing them.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Im not sure how important that is when it comes to movies tbh.

Liam Neeson has neither. Mofo just found his lane and sticks to it

Liam Neeson doesn’t make the big bucks that Rock does nor is he a box office draw. A charismatic person can help sell a movie even if everyone knows that it’s going to be trash.

What does losing to Brock Lesnar have to do with the movie success he found after F5?

 

[Paper Boi]

what's kind of sad is i actually think he is a decent actor

but he has decided to just be typecast in roles that don’t require showing it

Come on breh. Brock’s finisher move is called the F5. This match was literally the last match when he stopped being a full time wrestler and went to Hollywood.

Nothing sad about it, he's an average actor that has studied a blue print others have used to great success
