Nerdstalgic dropped this video on the Rock earlier this week:

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has become one of the most recognizable stars on the planet. From his introduction in the world of wrestling, to becoming the most bankable star in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson has flourished mainly playing himself in every single movie. The Rock and Dwayne Johnson have become the same person, and that's what Hollywood wants. But with stars like John Cena and Dave Bautista spreading their wings and evolving as actors, it seems Dwayne Johnson is stuck in first gear. Will The Rock ever surprise us with a groundbreaking performance? Only time will tell.

Not that the bar is particularly high, but it's without question Bautista. He's the only guy who's really managed to distance himself from the tinge of pro wrestling when going into acting. Not that Dwayne or Cena are bad actors, but they've rather reduced themselves with the roles they've been in.

I do think someone like Shawn Michaels could've been great if he went down that path. He was pretty damn good in 90 Feet From Home. He would've had the look and everything when he was younger to become a star.
