I'm not surprised considering his current slate of films he's filmed in the last year and a half was GI Joe, the musclebuilding movie Pain & Gain with Marky Mark, and then Fast Six right now where he was fucking jacked in the previous one. That's a far cry from all the weight he dropped for the first few years after he stepped away.
BTW, have you seen how jacked his ex-wife Dani is? In addition to being his manager, she's a bodybuilder now, and the results are...interesting. Just look at this pic and remember the Rock voluntarily gave up like a decade of all the pie he could want for this: http://gallery.rxmuscle.com/newgallery/DSC_0387_GBTVSFPSBP.jpg
Jackie Gayda also went to bodybuilding post-WWE. Is there something about being with a wrestler that makes you want to lose your hotness to look like She-Hulk? Yuck.
But you do bring up a very interesting point. At least Cena is jacked as shit and is perceived as a huge star both in and outside the bubble and compares to Rock physically.
Punk is really gonna have to talk a HUGE GAME prior, because when that bell rings, its gonna be a visual mismatch. Not to mention, he is not a star outside the bubble, regardless of what the nerds think.
I think people overestimate that. It's all in the booking. Side by side when Sting came back in 1997, standing next to Hogan he looked like some everyday joe. But the way he was booked you thought Hogan was a dead man when they locked up. Obviously the roles are reversed in this case.
He still had a lot of bulk yeah but he wasn't perfectly chiseled or anything. He looked like a guy who worked out but wasn't huge. Basically what Punk looks like. Punk looks like a healthy guy who works out. I just think especially in our day and age people put too much into "this guy isn't big enough"
Well, dicks by nature are pretty tight and snug, so yeah. Oh wait...that was a WOMAN I was looking at? Are...are...are you sure? Cause I'll be damned if I can tell by that picture.
Yeah, I meant her mug.. She's looks like the love child of Gonzo & Blossom.. But I prefer trannies, midgets, and SSBBW's so I may not be the expert on these subjects..
After looking it up, it was NYR 07 but still a coincidence.. All in Jan..
At least Rock can point to genetics, his dad was real ripped at that time.
I just hope Rock doesn't overtrain like HHH did after his 1st quad tear and stink the joint out. That Hulk pic from Halloween was pretty disturbing too.
Actually one of the reasons Hogan was po'ed at Sting going into that match is they spent a year and a half building Sting up to being the top star in the world, and he didn't have the professionalism to even keep himself in shape.
Sting in the end of 97 was out of shape, probably why he started wearing the doublet rather than the tights.
Ok... And im not trying to get into an arguement but what happens when the media jumps on the Rock trail and they ask "Well Rock who are you facing at the Royal Rumble?" and they show a picture of CM Punk?
You look at Rock- jacked as shit Then look at Punk- skinny fat
The people are gonna fart all over Punk. They are gonna say to Rock you can beat that shrimp/scrawny guy. Smarks will cry cuz they think Rock is burying Punk in the media outlets and Vince will finally be convinced that he isnt a tippy top guy and get the belt off of him... AGAIN...
You know whats funny? The guy that could be Punk's biggest supporter in this match... would be Triple H...
Im sayign this because the Rock brings the casuals who havent watched wrestling in a while and when they see CM Punk for the first time, they are gonna go... "DAFUQ? He's Skinny fat."
Even the most casual wrestling fan knows who CM Punk is. And again, he is a heel. It actually works out better if they can't buy Punk winning. If he beats Rock via cheating or whatever, those casuals are gonna want to see him get beat even more. And probably pay to see it.
I was watching the Rock vs Cena documentary on netflix the other day, and my mom was in the room. I started talking about how unbelievably jacked The Rock is, and how he's not only MORE defined than Cena [thanks Winstrol!] he's 10lbs HEAVIER. She tried to argue with me that he looks no bigger than he did back in 1999.
He's easily an extra 20-30lbs heavier than he was in his prime. I know he has fantastic genetics, but holy shit, he's on probably $25-30,000 worth of drugs a year. Now, as a man who wants to take steroids himself, I have no beef with that, but he's about to be the champion of a company that's suppose to be completely anti-steroids [which, anyone with half a brain knows is impossible in this sport]. It's ridiculous.
Consider this, Arnold, in his prime, was 235lbs when he won his 6th consecutive Mr. Olympia in 1975. The Rock, who's just as cut, out weighs him by 30lbs, AND is a couple inches taller.
OK, it's been over a month, and the nabble, or whatever it's called forum isn't taking off, so I'm feeling free to advertise once again the BoD Readers board.
We've got some rockin' topics, and Fuj has a new game idea after the success of his FFLoD.
I love the reactions to this. It's GOOD that Punk looks scrawny against The Rock... because it creates an interesting visual contrast. You have the guy who wrestles and works out when he can vs the guy who works out constantly and hasd a cushy life that means he only wrestles a few times a year. It's tied into the storyline, the personalities, and the 'God, I hope Rock beats up that crack addict' vibe non-fans will have.
In other words, it's Luthor vs. Superman, but real.
Oh, no doubt, but I think that's what they want the casual fans to think, because supposedly the Rock is only appearing on one episode of Raw before the Rumble. So that's got me thinking that Rock is losing to Punk, which would do wonders for Punk and his reign, rather than his reign ending up being the longest transitional reign in the history of WWE.
Well, the more you have, the better drugs you can get. Average body builders spend about $100,000 a year on HGH and everything else. Plus, he has fantastic genetics. I mean, I'm very passionate about bodybuilding, and I could take all the drugs in the world and couldn't look like Arnold, because I don't have those genetics. The Rock weighs more than most pro-bodybuilders, and he's taller, so that right there...
Actually, not true. The taller you are, the less you should weigh. If you took a super ripped guy at 5'9, who's 235lbs, and put that muscle on a guy who's 6'6, he's gonna weigh about 190lb, and not look nearly as impressive.
Yeah. Dude, her clit is HUGE. It was so weird watching her blow Thor. I mean...man...what an odd visual for a guy who was a huge wrestling & comic book fan as a kid. I mean what if someone were to tell me "Chyna is gonna blow Thor in 15 years" when I was 13. What a weird statement.
It pisses me off that Punk won't put more effort into his workouts.
I mean, c'mon, you're the champion of a company that's based on athletics. Would it kill you to trim the babyfat? Does our champ need a muffin top? You're not Mick, you can't pull that off. Hell, Daniel Bryan is a freaking vegan and he's bigger and better looking.
Bodybuilding relates, I was watching the lion's den match on the attitude era DVD yesterday and holy SHOT was Shamrock jacked. If I was in the higher ups in 98 I woulda told him to calm it down as he was blowing Austin's look outta the water.
I've seen interviews where he says he eats right and works out but just has problems putting on muscle mass and getting cut. Sometimes it's just genetics.
Fair enough. It is harder for some people, and their schedule doesn't lend itself to regular work out routines... but to me he doesn't look like he puts in a lot of effort...
Shouldn't that be the opposite way around. Someone who is shorter would be packing a lot of muscle at 190 would probably need to be 235 if he was about 6-8 inches taller. That's why someone like Rey Mysterio is usually juiced to the gills when he weighed 190 whereas someone who is 6'1" and weighs 190 would look cut but won't look like he carries a lot of muscle comparatively.
CM Punk did retain the title in a 20 minute match over Jericho in the match right before Rock vs. Cena in a show that many more people bought than will see the Rumble... so I don't think that will be an issue.
Boy is Rock taking horse steroids or something? Watch the trailer for his movie with walberg, HOLY SHIT. They use steroids like Altoids or something. . .
I'm sorry Caliber, that makes no sense. First off, a 6'6" guy who ways 190lb is going to look extremely skinny. I'm 6'3" about 220 lb and still look sorta thin. When i played football, I weighed around 265lb and was much bigger obviously but since I was taller, I didn't have to carry as much weight and could still run fast. My point still stands.
I never got that either. Sting was never a super beefy guy to begin with and he looked pretty much how he always did to me, just in a singlet and extremely pale compared to his surfer tan. His arms are huge in that match. Yet another figment of Hogan's imagination -- just the fact that he thought Crow Sting should be a buff, tan dude just sort of shows how out of touch he was with the appeal of the character to begin with.
I'd agree more with the idea that the big problem with Sting at that point wasn't his body, it was that he hadn't figured out how to translate his brooding act in the rafters into a compelling in ring character and that really wasn't the match where you wanted to wing it and try to figure it out. WCW should have signed Pat Patterson instead of Bret Hart for that match.
But they werent watching WM for Punk/Jericho they were watching for Rock/Cena. So those two were just a by product and not really on the casuals radar.
Yeah, Flair, and Myron. That's the point I'm making. The taller you are, the more you need. Putting on muscle isn't easy, so to be as tall as the Rock is, AND at 265, is incredible.
Ewww you're grodie. How about you go to the clue store and, like, get one.
Ok now I'm going to ramble on late 80's vernacular. I was listening to Paulie Shore on WTF a few weeks ago and he was talking about the early part of his career and how one of his first big breaks was doing some of the original MTV Beach Party shows in Cancun and Puerto Vallarta and places like that. He's standing out on one of those stages on the beach taping an intro to a music video or whatever and a cold blast of air comes in off the surf and he shivers mid sentence and pau-auses in the middle of a wo-ord. An hour later they're looking over the tapes trying to decide which is the best take and all the guys burst out laughing when he pau-auses so Paulie decides to throw it in every once in awhile. A year later he was making Encino Man as "The Wea-asel". If not for a cold wind half the shit my high school said wouldn't have happened.
Yeah it fascinates me for some reason. I think it's just the idea that fortune can turn up anywhere. Dude worked his ass off for years before a shiver suddenly made him $25 million lol
Theoretically I guess. He wasn't allowed to perform at the Store until he was already fairly famous on MTV so it's not like his mom handed him a key to fame.
I mean, I don't think Paulie so some creative genius or anything but I appreciate the fickleness of success.
Is it too early to book Rock's thighs vs. Team Hell No for the tag titles at Elimination Chamber?
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised considering his current slate of films he's filmed in the last year and a half was GI Joe, the musclebuilding movie Pain & Gain with Marky Mark, and then Fast Six right now where he was fucking jacked in the previous one.

Eek. I bet that snatch is TIGHT, though.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dany used to be really pretty... and a pretty big player at Merril Lynch, if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeletehttp://img2-2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/news/070611/dwayne_johnson.jpg
Yeah, I remembered her looking really nice during the WWE vignettes of his movie premieres...wondered how she ended up going this route instead.
ReplyDeleteHoly Wellness Violation!
ReplyDeleteEw. Gross.
ReplyDeletesnap ur piece off, no thanks.
ReplyDeleteSheesh Scott... We know that you have the Rock man-crush, but damn.
ReplyDeleteWow...someone hasn't reacted well to that divorce.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in Titan towers, Vince is rubbing one off while HHH is crying in the fetal position as Rock outdoes him in something else...again.
ReplyDeletenot pretty.. sorry..
ReplyDeleteJackie Gayda also went to bodybuilding post-WWE. Is there something about being with a wrestler that makes you want to lose your hotness to look like She-Hulk? Yuck.
ReplyDeleteApparently, somebody listens to way too much JR commentary and is a big fan of heel divas. Is there also a website called Scalded Dog?
ReplyDeleteThat'll be a weird visual at the Rumble.. Jacked up The Rock vs. Skinny Fat CM Punk
ReplyDelete^I forgot all about that. lol.
ReplyDeleteBut you do bring up a very interesting point. At least Cena is jacked as shit and is perceived as a huge star both in and outside the bubble and compares to Rock physically.
Punk is really gonna have to talk a HUGE GAME prior, because when that bell rings, its gonna be a visual mismatch. Not to mention, he is not a star outside the bubble, regardless of what the nerds think.
Um, gross. There's a point went bodybuilders go from superhero cool to Hulk-like freakishness. Rock has crossed that threshold.
ReplyDeleteThat's either a great comic book illustration or it was taken with a dusty Polaroid. It doesn't look real.
ReplyDeleteAs a friend of mine is fond of saying, there's no "Wellness Policy" in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteUgh, can't unsee that.
ReplyDeleteI think people overestimate that. It's all in the booking. Side by side when Sting came back in 1997, standing next to Hogan he looked like some everyday joe. But the way he was booked you thought Hogan was a dead man when they locked up. Obviously the roles are reversed in this case.
ReplyDeleteSting was "chunky" but he did not look like an everyday joe. He still had plenty of muscle mass on his frame.
ReplyDeleteWhy does she have a six-pack in her armpit? Dear Zod! I bet her headlock could tear a man's head clean off.
ReplyDeleteIt's like what King used to say about Steiner: Muscles in places people don't have muscles
ReplyDeleteHe still had a lot of bulk yeah but he wasn't perfectly chiseled or anything. He looked like a guy who worked out but wasn't huge. Basically what Punk looks like. Punk looks like a healthy guy who works out. I just think especially in our day and age people put too much into "this guy isn't big enough"
ReplyDeleteChicks just shouldn't get into that.
ReplyDeleteSo anyone taking bets on Rock tearing a quad to the bone at the Royal Rumble?
ReplyDeleteWell, dicks by nature are pretty tight and snug, so yeah. Oh wait...that was a WOMAN I was looking at? Are...are...are you sure? Cause I'll be damned if I can tell by that picture.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, what the fuck happened?!
Thats a nice rack though, but i agree she isnt all that.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a recurring theme for the ppv.
ReplyDeleteVince, Trips (against Rated RKO, or was that NYR 07?) and then Rock.
Yeah, I meant her mug.. She's looks like the love child of Gonzo & Blossom.. But I prefer trannies, midgets, and SSBBW's so I may not be the expert on these subjects..
ReplyDeletethat's word..
ReplyDeleteAnd I was having a nice Christmas.......

Uncomfortable-looking pose, muscles that are well-defined enough to be oddly creepy, you can't see his feet... did Rob Liefield draw that?
ReplyDeleteSSBBW?
ReplyDelete^YOU WIN.
ReplyDeleteAll that doesn't really matter when your a heel though.
ReplyDeleteHer armpit looks like a saarlac pit.
ReplyDeleteOk... And im not trying to get into an arguement but what happens when the media jumps on the Rock trail and they ask "Well Rock who are you facing at the Royal Rumble?" and they show a picture of CM Punk?

Who the fuck cares what the host of some shitty daytime talk show says about Punk? It literally affects nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhy you gotta curse bro?
ReplyDeleteI was just saying...
Im sayign this because the Rock brings the casuals who havent watched wrestling in a while and when they see CM Punk for the first time, they are gonna go... "DAFUQ? He's Skinny fat."
ReplyDeleteBecause it adds a little flavor.
ReplyDeleteEven the most casual wrestling fan knows who CM Punk is. And again, he is a heel. It actually works out better if they can't buy Punk winning. If he beats Rock via cheating or whatever, those casuals are gonna want to see him get beat even more. And probably pay to see it.

The Rock 'may' be on steroids, but if he is he's on much better steroids than anyone who wrestles and isn't mixing/matching them with painkillers.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteJust by height alone, Rock should weigh more than Cena.
ReplyDeleteThats to the hardcore wrestling fans.
ReplyDeleteTo the unwashed masses, its gonna look like a real star vs a jobber.
A jobber who has held the title for 440 days.
ReplyDeleteYup
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever seen some vids of the rock working out, he does some workouts that make me wanna puke just WATCHING them.
ReplyDeleteIm not feeling that. Ill agree to disagree cuz im not for the back and forth.
ReplyDeleteHey i like Punk... but you him next to the Rock and its just visually mismatching, the fans are gonna gravitate to the guy who looks like the star...
ReplyDeletePunk doesnt look like a star.
Its like scott said when Sheamus and Orton first fought at RR10 (???)
Heel-Heel program
Sheamus is the champ, but fans cheered Orton because he looked like a STAR
You're a meanie.

ReplyDeleteYes, I'm an expert Meanie Dancer.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised that despite his physique, he's probably healthier and in better shape than probably 90% of the roster due to his lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteI've seen interviews where he says he eats right and works out but just has problems putting on muscle mass and getting cut. Sometimes it's just genetics.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a vegan anymore... and it is starting to show in his body mass...
ReplyDeleteFair enough. It is harder for some people, and their schedule doesn't lend itself to regular work out routines... but to me he doesn't look like he puts in a lot of effort...
ReplyDeleteAnd all these years I thought the physiques of male Hollywood stars was just due to hard training and a good diet.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that be the opposite way around. Someone who is shorter would be packing a lot of muscle at 190 would probably need to be 235 if he was about 6-8 inches taller. That's why someone like Rey Mysterio is usually juiced to the gills when he weighed 190 whereas someone who is 6'1" and weighs 190 would look cut but won't look like he carries a lot of muscle comparatively.

ReplyDeleteBoy is Rock taking horse steroids or something? Watch the trailer for his movie with walberg, HOLY SHIT. They use steroids like Altoids or something. . .
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Caliber, that makes no sense. First off, a 6'6" guy who ways 190lb is going to look extremely skinny. I'm 6'3" about 220 lb and still look sorta thin.

He's standing out on one of those stages on the beach taping an intro to a music video or whatever and a cold blast of air comes in off the surf and he shivers mid sentence and pau-auses in the middle of a wo-ord. An hour later they're looking over the tapes trying to decide which is the best take and all the guys burst out laughing when he pau-auses so Paulie decides to throw it in every once in awhile. A year later he was making Encino Man as "The Wea-asel". If not for a cold wind half the shit my high school said wouldn't have happened.
Whew. Wake and bake.
