It annoys me that he isn't credited as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson anymore


No idea why and it is extremely petty. I mean why does it matter but every single time it happens it annoys me.
Anyone else? Or am I just weird.

It's something you'll get used to a mental mind *beep* can be nice!

Exactly!!! I thought I was the only one. He was my favourite wrestler as a kid, well him and Brett "the Hitman" Heart. I know he probably wants to be taken as a "real" actor now but he will always be "The Rock" to me.

It just annoys me that he is given scripts where he has lines.

He's very, very, very terrible.

I don't agree. Let's face it, wrestling is cool, but all wrestlers are actors, and mostly "poor" actors when it comes to acting ability. The Rock made his way out of that business and is getting a name for himself as a serious actor. It seems perfectly normal that he's not credited as "The Rock" in his tv shows/movies.

He probably just wants to separate actual acting from acting under his wrestling persona. It's been long enough that the next crop of fans would be asking who the hell is/was The Rock when they saw movie credits. It was necessary at first or no one would have recognized him.

He hasnt been The Rock for me for almost 10 years now.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

Using the name "The Rock" brings expectations, good and bad, and it happened to go away several years ago when he had a string of flops.

His Instagram and YouTube are called The Rock, so he seems to be proud of the name.
