The Rock a sellout? ?

Question

is the rock a sellout.many people in the wwe said he disrespected the company by not staying and becoming a movie star.the wretslers who said that are john cena,triple h,and stone cold but if im corect wasn't they in movies.

Answer 1

I have always been upset at the chocies the Rock made I wish he would have considered what truely was more important and that was his dedication to the bussiness that made him. I respect his choice to do movies but to completely drop out of the Bussiness before his prime and take away from alot of fans that hurts, STSA is my favorite and if he wasn't injured i think Stone Cold would have stayed with the E until he retired  unlike the Rock who just up and left.

Answer 2

Hes not a sell out. He went to move on with life and leaving wrestling. He chose to do movies and better help his family. He dropped out now and wont have any injuries to hurt him later in life. Alot of people in his situation would of done the same thing.  

Answer 3

The Rock helped carry WWE for nearly 7 years. The Rock needed to do something else with his life and not have worn-down bodies like so many wrestlers who stay even though they are past their prime.  

Answer 4

I AGREE WITH STONE COLD AND THE OTHERS I MEAN THEY WERE IN MOVIES BUT THEY DIDN'T LEAVE THE RING TO BECOME MOVIE STARS LIKE THE ROCK DID.

Answer 5

He isn't a sellout, and I don't think Stone Cold, one of his real life best friends would say that about him. He left because he had the oppurtunity to do bigger things, and look what WWE has done since he left, I don't think he would want to be part of this Era after being a Legend in the Attitude Era.

Answer 6

He's no sellout, and it really pisses me off when people call him one. Just because the WWE propaganda machine SAYS he's one, does NOT make him one. (And yeah, I consider Cena, HHH and SCSA as part OF the propaganda machine)  The guy gave his heart and his soul to the business, and he was arguably the brightest star to ever shine IN the WWE, yet from Day #1, there was a core-group of "fans" who HATED The Rock.  I figure they're the ones mostly saying he "sold out" by not staying a wrestler until he's 65 years old and either crippled or dead, like so many other former wrestlers.
