Why wasn't John Cena able to crossover into movies as successfully as The Rock?
He eclipsed The Rock as a wrestler, but not as a Hollywood action star.

Bing chilling
Is there any major difference between The Rock and John Cena that you can think of?
Cena plays Command & Conquer
The Rock can get roles based on diversity while John Cena bing chills.
Cena hasn’t been doing it as long as the rock has yet and isn’t a freak of nature fueled by steroids anymore. Or at least not nearly as inhuman looking as the rock
He might be legitimately autistic. No charisma, too robotic.
I disagree, Cena has more charisma on screen.
While The Rock had great charisma in the WWE, I never felt it translated into movies very well.
You can disagree but the most electric man in entertainment can command a crowd better in person and on screen
Basically how I feel. The Rock is always the same stoic serious guy and when he’s trying to be comedic I just don’t believe it. As much as they hate each other or whatever he’s got the same Vin Diesel problem where he can’t ever take a meaningful L
meanwhile Cena has comedic timing, can be serious when he needs to be, and isn’t afraid to be on the ass end of an ass beating if it serves the plot.
I’m going to use that episode of Peacemaker where the chick he slept with goes feral and tries to kill him. Cena spends that entire fight in his tightey whiteys getting stabbed, thrown around, and generally shit on until he barely manages to win. Do you think the Rock would have agreed to film that?
Didn't the rock have a contract to do black Adam but he could never lose or get hit or some shit? Maybe that was just a rumor
Wouldn't be surprised as if you didn't know.. Hobbes and Shaw both hit each other an equal amount of times because their egos wouldn't allow one to somehow statistically out point the other.
It's strange because in the WWE I recall hearing that The Rock was more open to losing than most other wrestlers in order to help put guys over.
I think he was so confident in his wrestling persona that he knew he could shake off losses with ease.
Rock said that himself and Stone Cold called it out for the horseshit that it is.
Stone Cold would have to be implying he and other top performers did it as well, not so much on any statistical thing going on.
Austin has been pretty clear throughout the years that he didn't mind losing as long as it made business sense. He quit because he was supposed to job to Lesnar without any buildup on free TV when it should've been built as a big program that would have made real money.
true
More of a business decision and keeping up their on screen image. But yeah, petty for sure.
Jesus Christ how petty
Maybe he's let the clout go to his head. He went from Wwe star to world-wide household name amounts of fame. When you get as big (hurdur) as him, its easy to be a petty homosexual. Look at Michael Jordan for example.
This, even as a wrestler The Rock was known for being over the top, charismatic, and having animated facial expressions. John Cena is not that.
That being said, he has found recent success with Peacemaker where is deadpan autistic acting works great though.
Fine speech.
Too generic and not enough charisma
He can't act at all. Zero charisma outside of that one specific character he played on WWF where everybody was laughing at him.
>No charisma
Want to walk back that statement?
I think Cena is better than the Rock
hollywood doesn't like italians
coincidentally they don't like germans either, it's weird.
I wish that were true.... italian sons of b***hes are lower then Black folk.. it's what they aspire to be
Jing Xena took the easy way out and sold his soul to the CCP and doesn't need movie deals like the Rock does.
Cody will eclipse the Rock.
no he won't
cody is too arrogant and smaller than The Rock
and he has that dumbass tattoo
Cena straight up plowed Amy Schumer. He stuck his wiener in her on the set on Trainwreck and didn't understand how it worked. That he would just wear the sock and pretend. Her and Bill Hader talk about it in an interview and laugh it off, but the dude is a fricking dumbass.
Honestly thats pretty based if it is true
https://hollywoodlife.com/2015/07/22/amy-schumer-john-cena-trainwreck-sex-scene-interview/
This interview confirms nothing...
he also cheated on his wife with kendra lust, who later did a john cena inspired shoot
I guess he's living his best life? Kendra Lust is kind of busted but maybe he thought it was age appropriate. I have no idea. Hard to fault a little kid from Mass getting ripped and following his dreams. The Rock is just a better entertainer though.
The most based men don't give a frick about women or their gay feelings
Shitty article doesn't clear up anything:
>Clearly Schumer was her usual joking self talking about the best scene in Trainwreck and she was just having fun with things. John Cena didn’t really have sex with her, he is just a great actor and provided some serious laughs, if you haven’t seen the film yet you must see it for this scene alone!
Was she actually joking or what?
Fricking Chad's can get away with anything. You know if it was some short ugly nerd character there'd be a shitstorm about it and he'd get cancelled
Plus that lucky frick got to screw Amy Schumer
how can you even type this in jest?
why doesn't your brain stop your fingers?
>He stuck his wiener in her on the set on Trainwreck and didn't understand how it worked. That he would just wear the sock and pretend
what the frick does this mean?
>inside of amy schumer
Hustle, Loyalty, Respect
>Cena went to Nintendo and told them how big of a fan he is
>Dread came out soon after
He will always be based beyond recognition in my book
*fan he is of metroid
Say what you will but John Cenas portrayel of Peacemaker is more iconic than any role The Rock has ever had in his entire career.
The Rock has charisma and John Cena has slightly more charisma than Goldberg? The Rock's mic-work when he was starting is off the fricking charts. He's less charismatic now than he used to be and he's still more charismatic than baby-b***h John Cena.
I don't care what you all think of Cena, but you have to admit this was extremely based during an election where tensions were heightened:
I cannot recall anyone else who has used his fame and money (outside mr beast unironically) to bring good in the world like Cena has. You see celebrities do make a wishes like one time for publicity but its seem that cena does it and doesn't give a shit about the publicity from it. Straight class act imo
>be nice to gays who snitch on you for "hate speech" and rape your kids
lol
'Love has no labels' is progressive drivel, the same shit you see on those yard signs. Frick him.
The Rock committed to his acting career much earlier. Outside of those WWE produced movies, Cena didn't really get going until five years ago.
Have you ever watched any interview regarding how Cena actually is by the dozens of people who had to work alongside him for years in WWE? He's a dick who would actively hinder others whereas The Dwayne is extremely likeable.
Also, Dwayne got out at the height of his popularity when wrestling was still relevant. Cena stuck around way too long.
Cena can only play a laughable goof or a stupid character. No range.
>Cena can't act
And the Rock can? I avoid anything with the Rock because he makes everything worse
I liked him in moana and he's ok wit Kevin hart
the chili sauce
>He eclipsed The Rock as a wrestler
No he didn't.
He literally did though.
I think John Cena is the most successful WWE Superstar of all time.
most of the big wrestler turned actors have at least a small part in one kino
>hogan - rocky 3
>ventura - predator
>piper - they live
>andre - the princess bride
>rock - pain & gain
>cena - the wall
>bautista - br2049
Macho Man was Bonesaw in Spiderman 1. Or that no longer counts?
>capeshit
>kino
pick only 1
>Roddy Piper was a WWF performer
He isn't a closet homosexual, so he didn't take israeli wiener up his ass for roles and more opportunities
I'm not convinced that anyone in this thread knows what charisma or good/bad acting actually is.
It's Cinemaphile. A couple of them have it right but they're all just guessing.
> eclipsed The Rock as a wrestler,
Cena will never be the people’s champ. He also simps Commie China.
John China can’t act. The rock can. Only one sort of character but he does it well.
I mean hell he did Southland tales and it was awesome.
Kinos featuring the Rock:
>The Mummy 1&2
>Scorpion King
>THE RUNDOWN
>PAIN AND GAIN
Any additions?
the rock wasn't in the first mummy
pain and gain is his only absolute kino
southland tales is a helluva drug
walking tall, faster, and snitch are decent flicks
end of post
Dwayne picked movies where he can essentially play his cheesy self. He knows his limits and uses it to his advantage. Cena seems to genuienely try to go out of his comfort zone but is not good at it.
Cena is a complete typecast.
In trainwreck he’s playing a dumb jock that tries to be sensitive but is too much of a dumb jock to get it. The joke is on him. The character really is that one dimensional guy
Ditto Pecaekeeper. The joke is he’s really that one dimensional, no matter hard how he tries. He gets angry, but he’s still the dumb guy getting angry, or the dumb guy kinda sad. That doesn’t mean he’s not sympathetic, or charismatic in his own way, it’s just there’s nothing more to him.
Ditto Cena himself. He may speak Chinese (and frick it up) but end of the day he’s just a wrestling jock trying to speak Chinese. He may want to be an actor, but he’s just a wresting guy that’s trying to act.
You can argue Dwane always plays the same character too, but at least his emotional range comes across as real and genuine. That’s acting.
With Cena you always see the effort and mental wheels turning.
what are you talking about chud?
Kevin Nash was raped in the summer of 92
IF YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT KEVIN NASH WAS RAPED IN 1992, PLEASE STOP GOSSIPING AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE POLICE.
