The Rock vs. Arnold: Clash of the muscles.

Or the steroids, whatever.

Anyhoo, two categories to match them up:

Worst actor. Apparently I am under the illusion that both can act. Yeah, right. Work with me here, all right? You know what I mean.

Best fighter. Imagine that they match up Terminator vs. The Rock in the upcoming Terminator movie. Who will kick whose as?

My take on this "issues"

1–Color me crazy but that rock dude is not that bad of an actor. Sure, he can’t play any other character than his WWF alter ego but he was all right tonight on Dag.

Anyway, he can’t match Schwarzenegger’s (do I get points for spelling) funny accent and his ability to transform himself from a bad ass motherfucker into a dorky, goofy dude. Game, set and match for the Austrian on this category.

2-- Can you smell the stench of The Rock? Hmm, Cyborg Arnold against an overhyped wrestler. Austrian fella wins again.

Man, isn’t life a supreme whore! Damn ironies, I hadn’t finished typing the word stench when a funny odor arrived at my nose. Guess what? I inadvertently I stepped on dog crap and just realized it at this very moment. Damn those four-legged, half-brained canines. Or the stupid people who step on their crap.:rolleyes:

Off I go to watch my shoes.


35 days for the real turn of the Millennium. Watch out for the Y2K+1 bug!

Make that, WASH my shoes. Guess that stinking odor got to my brain. :rolleyes:

Uh, haven’t you left yet to get rid of that dog bizness? I am glad that smell-a-vision for the computer is not a raving success yet. :smiley:

Now onto the OP, Arnold would loose. In his heyday, he coulda taken him. But he has lost alot of weight and it looks to be bulk. But it isn’t the winner that is important but whether this match could make money for the promoters.

Thanks for posting this. I watched Dag tonight and was wondering if Rock was a “real” wrestler or an actor pretending to be a wrestler. (There’s a paradox in there somewhere, or irony, or an oxymoron, or something.)

He wasn’t half bad. At least as good as Rowdy Roddy Piper. Better than Arnold, IMHO.

Isn’t wondering which is a better actor, The Rock or Arnold, kind of like wondering which smells better, cat shit or dog shit?

As far as whom would kick whose ass? I’d say whomever the script-writers wanted to be the sole owner of an open can of whup-ass, as it were.

In real life, if they both got pissed and had at each other, I’d give it to The Rock. He’s younger, and those wrestling moves he’s learned could do some damage if he wanted them to.

By the way, what is The Rock’s real name anyway?

Duane Johnson. He once was a pretty good football player at FSU or Florida or Miami, one of those college football powerhouses from that state.

You forgot a 3rd category - posing. I’d give the edge to the Rock because that cocked head, one eyebrow up thing he does slays me.

I’m not sure who would win, but I would pay to see the fight if it had some meaningful resolution, such as:

If Ah-nuld loses, he has to apologize for Commando and he has to force his wife to eat a sandwich.

If The Rock loses, he has to promise to never again be photographed with that asinine one-raised-eyebrow expression. Yeah big guy, I’m impressed that you can raise one eyebrow. Now stop doing it. You look like an idiot.

Whoa, xizor. Ironic double post.

Whoops. I meant simulpost. I’ll just slink off quietly now…

The Rock played college football? Thanks Allah, Brahma and Zeus that he wasn’t good enough to make it to the NFL. Can you imagine his endzone celebration after scoring a TD? I am just masochistically picturing him taking his helmet off, staring into the camera, and doing that nerve-wracking raised-eyebrow gesture. Man, that would be even worse than having Roseanne Barr sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. I think I am going to kill myself just for having that thought.

BTW, can any of you fill me in on the details of the Rock’s football career?

In “the wrestling world” , which is filled with fairy tale baseball bats and steel chairs and chain link fence cages - Arnuld would crush the Rock. To the people that matter (i.e. the audience) The Terminator would never lose.

In real life Arnold has had heart surgery. The bodyguards would give the Rock a bad beating - but he would take a few out.

IMHO.

Hardy Boys’s baby. Lita baby. HA !

A) I loved Commando

ii) Arnold’s old, getting into creepy old man old. Big edge for Rock.

  1. Yes, feed that X-file Ahhnood calls a wife!

The Rock… God, how I hate him. How I hate the whole institution of wrestling, in general. Just wait 'til the trailer park contingent sees this thread. Oh boy, I can’t wait. :rolleyes: Now, not only do I have to avoid wrestling at the regular times, I have to avoid it on MTv and I have to avoid that idiotic XFL (San Francisco has a team, great…) Uggh, why god? Why have you forsaken people with brains by creating WWF?

I think wrestling may be a part of natural selection. All the moronic kids who try the moves and end up killing themselves can’t procreate right? Hmm, maybe it is a good thing…

Anyone who refers to themselves in the third person is automatically cool. Advantage The Rock

In the wrestling ring, someone would interfere and hit Ahnold with a chair when the ref wasn’t looking. Advantage The Rock

I watched Dag, didn’t think The Rock was very funny, kinda dumb if you ask me. Ahnold is witty when killing people. Advantage Ahnold

“Can You Smell” vs. “I’ll be back”. “I’ll be back” is more effective, since it’s after Ahnold has handed out a whooping, meaning you’re gonna get some more. “Can You Smell” is a threat and doesn’t guarantee an ass-kicking. Advantage Ahnold

Like the Terminator, The Rock can take one hell of a beating. However, you don’t need a hydraulic press or molten steel to take out The Rock. Advantage Ahnold

Try here

Whoops, Omni – I got my movies mixed up. I was thinking of Raw Deal. I actually did like Commando. “Remember when I said I was going to kill you last? I lied.”

“What did you do with Sully?”

“I let him go.”

Man… I forgot how awesome Commando was. I’m gonna have to get that on DVD now.

Thanks. Interesting link. Not a great player The Rock. Warmed the bench for 4 years, only 4 sacks to show in his resume.

Which reveals what we have suspected all along: the WWF is nothing but a recruiting institution that assimilates lame football players and provides them with a forum fit for venting off their disgust at failing to make it to the NFL. Soon we will find WWF scouts attending NCAA games. Expect the WWF draft to be instituted any of these years.


The Rock, hmm, quite difficult to characterize his histrionic abilities. Casting aside his monolithic acting style I would say he is a great actor. :slight_smile:

For those curious about The Rock’s acting abilites (e.g., me), he will also be appearing in next year’s, “The Mummy Returns”.

I missed that Dag thing, so right now I have no basis for comparison.
