I legit believe that Triple H is a better actor and can convey emotions better than Rock as seen in his promos

Rock just does the same role in every movie
Na, he's a bytch and he fukked a tranny named China.

HHH was never eye candy in his career
DX w HBK & Chyna (No one was hotter than prime HBK)
DX leader (Pac & Mr. Ass was the cute members)
Evolution (Orton & Batista were better looking)

I'm sorry but he just didn't have the look

:ld:

Now who should've gotten into acting was HBK once he retired while he still had his good looks. Him & a young Jeff Hardy would've been

Also Cena had more charisma in one finger than Hunter, and I dont HATE Hunter like most do

y’all gotta stop rewriting history. Plenty of folks liked HHH
He wanted to be a superstar. People liked him like they like any popular wrestler. He never transcended into Taker, HBK, Bret Hart or Foley territory much less Austin, Rock or Cena.

I remember when his bytch ass showed up on SNL like an angry stalker in the crowd trying to soak in Rock’s shine.

He would’ve rather been in the pantheon of GOAT wrestlers, but nobody saw him like that. So then he decided he wanted to be the GOAT heel because he realized people weren’t rocking with him like that and that’s all he could aspire to. And he couldn’t even do that. Most people like me stopped watching wrestling before his “reign of terror” which I only read about online.

He was never that guy…just a guy.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
I kind of laughed when, on the Thy Kingdom Come DVD, Trips was talking about how he was always a wrestling guy first and foremost, unlike The Rock, and would never go to Hollywood. A lot of people forget that around 2003/4 Trips and Steph were shopping themselves around Hollywood, but nothing came up from it. He even briefly talked about it in Muscle and Fitness in 2004 when he was shooting Blade Trinity:

M&F: Do you have other projects in the works? There've been rumors about you playing Conan now that Arnold is no longer available for the project.

Hunter: I met John Milius [director of Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn] at a time when they were originally thinking about doing King Conan. He met with me and talked to me a lot about playing a part in the movie then. Before Arnold was elected [governor of California], John said if Arnold wins, I want you to play [the title] role. It's all up in the air, whether it's agreeable to everybody, but that's what John is saying.

M&F: Aren't you also working with John on a movie with the WWE production company?

Hunter: John had come up with a script and a project that he wanted me to star in. He talked to the WWE production office and they liked the concept -- we're probably going to shoot that in April in New Mexico. John wants to call it Jornada de Muerte, which roughly translated is Day of Death. I'm not sure Vince [McMahon, chairman of the Board of Directors of the WWE] likes that. Anyway, the backdrop is modern day, with the story centered on a motorcycle gang that's into drug dealing. I play this guy who's a piece of shyt in a lot of ways, but because of the circumstances and because he has a strong moral code -- kind of an "honor among thieves" type of thing -- he gets himself into a situation where he's in the right.

M&F: What constitutes a cool action film to you?

Hunter: You know, in a lot of movies now, it's how cool can they make the dinosaur look or doing the longest car chase ever or a martial-arts scene where it ends up being two guys dancing around each other. It's all just special effects, and [as a fan] I just don't care about that. Things have to work within the environment. In The Matrix, there's a reason they float through the air when they fight. When you have a regular movie and all of a sudden one guy is flying through the air, you lose all reality. When I go to a movie, I like a good storyline.


M&F: Would you like to continue with action movie roles or try something else?

Hunter: I'm happy just being an action guy. If you want to pay me $20 million to make a film in which all I do is beat the hell out of people, I'm fine with that. Nobody's going to book me to do Shakespeare, nor should they. I know what I am, I know what I do. On that same point, I think there's a huge need for [a pure action star]. Nobody's going to buy Ben Affleck as an ass-kicker.
