    All wrestlers are actors, and all the world's a stage.

    Sadly, some things should stay as they were. Dwayne looks like he's forcing it. "The Rock" was cool, iconic, and edgy for it's day. Now, it just looks like Britney Spears trying to recapture youthful glory.

    lol cmon, he's the tooth fairy.

    he's gone after a month or two. I wonder how much Vince McMahon shelled out for him to save the dying brand.

    I don't think he'll be leaving the WWE anytime soon. He's got tons of money, he just finished up the new Fast and Furious movie, and he can always go back to Hollywood anytime he wants.

    And then Taker is coming back next week to Raw as well. Then Triple H. Both have been out for several months now. Triple H for a whole year actually.

    Things are looking good at the moment.

    Once I turned eight and I discovered wrestling was fake, I lost interest.

    I do like The Rock as an actor, however.

    so is it the upswing of MMA that's killing off the sports entertainment business ?

    wwe etc really benefitted from the mistrust that people got from boxing and all its scandals back in the day, wondering if now there is a more credible form of 'combat' that a large number of traditional wwf/wwe fans have just moved on? i guess brock / lashley etc have leveraged that also.

    not at all. its the lack of big name superstars. I mean John Cena? Wade Barrett? has nothing to do with MMA or scandals...if thye have good writing and characters, it'll be popular.

    back in the day it was Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock...so much bigger and more interesting to watch. The characters on wrestling are pretty lame lately.

    is the WWE even getting killed off? Aside from the attitude era, I think the fan base has been pretty consistent.
