Last Action Hero is one of Arnold's best movies. It's a shame that movie got berried by JP1 when it came out.
The Rock is actually a very good actor.
He happened to get very lucky in that Fast Five turned the series from a medium size action staple to the Ocean's Eleven action movie biggest production in Hollywood. Though maybe bringing him on was what gave the franchise that push. I dunno.
He's still yet to headline anything remotely as big as Arnold's biggest movies, and unlike Arnold isn't the perfect man to be impersonating a robot. Just like Linda McMahon is the best possible actress to portray a catatonic women Arnold is perfect at being a robot.

Rock has never been in a movie with the big show
You're damn right.
Charles Dance is at his absolute best in that film: "Hello? I've just shot somebody, I did it on purpose!...I said, I have murdered a man and I want to confess!"

The Rock could play the Terminator, it just would seem wrong because the Rock can actually act and the role requires you to be wooden and laconic the entire time.
I don't know if there is any movie Rock can headline that would be as big as Arnold's biggest movies. Hollywood back then was cranking out original stuff left and right, and now they're knee deep in remake culture and sequelitis that big original films are fewer and further apart.
As Arnold would say, "Absolutely"

Everyone needs to watch this. It's the weirdest thing Arnold was in. But it's awesome

Can't believe anyone would blame Heyman or Cesaro for the way that shit turned out. "Hey, guys, let's make this dude a heel but (and here's the genius part) he doesn't actually DO or SAY anything particularly heelish! It's gonna be so great!".
Also, the job of a booker is to accentuate the positives of a performer and disguise the negatives. Have WWE done a good job of accentuating Cesaro's strengths? Sure. But what about disguising his weaknesses? Hah. Hahaha. HAHAHAHAH.

The Rock is one of the very few wrestlers who can act-act and not just wrestling act.
All I'm saying is that Richard Roeper probably hasn't ever summarized his role in a movie like this:

That movie would be a 100 times better if the music score for the real world wasn't the same as the movie world.

Sure. Agreed. But how do you explain Axel? A no-win state? (Yes)

Ahah, saw Drew's post about it earlier and thought as much. I like Beyond, but these attempts at creating controversy don't really do them any favours. Incidentally, Thorne being all passive aggressive because his shows don't sell out is one of my favourite indie twitter things at present.

If true, it totally undermines the "Evil Rich White Man Vince sprang this on Charlotte at the last minute and she was in too vulnerable of a position to even think of saying no!" story, since Vince probably would have listened to his other top creative guys if Charlotte had simply said she wasn't really comfortable with it.
Also makes Charlotte look much worse, if she knew about it all day and didn't consult her family at all. To me, someone pitching this to Charlotte as a possibility, and her thinking maybe she could give her career a boost with it and not really thinking about the repercussions, makes more sense to me than Vince forcing her to do it. Shit, I'll bet HHH was livid anybody was even suggesting it, given his relationship with Ric.
I'm just saying if I was Roman,

Going by this picture, I'm pretty sure more women would think Roman attractive than this dude. He's more of a pretty boy, whereas Roman is handsome in a more masculine way.

It is all about me. I am the Shining Star of WrassleGAF!
Beyond does weird stuff like that with Crusade For Change (they suck), Darius Carter (sucks), Chris Dickinson (reckless as fuck) and now Janela (good guy). It's weird.
I fucking laugh at Thorne all the time. He's a complete fool. Unprofessional as all get out. I'll be glad when they eventually die.

After reading some interview, I don't think he's going to retire to be honest. I think he'll continue to make the WM appearance even though the streak is over.

Anyone thinking Charlotte knew about it all day is a fool.
Given how they been marketing him lately , I cant see him not retire at WM.

Gets put in a casket. Someone later references digging it up. Steals Undertaker's powers. Creates a new deadman from his soul. Braun Stowman appears after being gone for months. Beard shaved cleanly and dyed black to mask his prior gimmick. Possible facepaint to further mask his old character from this one. Squashes people and only loses via DQ for months. Sets up the gimmick to continue onward. Showcases some of the strongest looking chokeslams we've seen in years.

25 years is a long time. Stayed Loyal, stayed consistent, retirement or not, he deserves it.

I'd be surprised if this isn't all heading to Undertaker retiring in Dallas. He's a southern guy, southern gimmicks, is past 50, looks it and moves like it, and has that concussion from last year along with god knows what on his injury list.
From a storyline perspective, there isn't anywhere else for him to go - he isn't winning the WWE title again (he COULD, but that isn't their model right now), he's finished his Lesnar feud and lost, all that's left is some final legacy feud whatever they might come up with for that be it Sting, which was probably the plan before he got hurt, or whatever they cook up. Bray would be underwhelming so hopefully they're getting that out of the way now. There are few options for continuing storylines with him in the years ahead that won't feel as diminished and pointless as his match with Bray this year. Undertaker has told all the tales he has to tell as an active performer except the ending.
That isn't to say he can't return in a non-active capacity later, he could and probably will, and it might even be good, but I don't see any reason why Undertaker shouldn't retire at this year's WM. I've seen enough of him, I think we all have, and I just hope he gets to go out on a high note.

Here's a full episode of Welsh wrestling show RESLO from 1987, featuring Fuji Yamada (a young Jushin Liger) vs Mark 'Rollerball' Rocco;

RESLO is very FnP, love that intro and the crowds are always loud, lots of kids running around at ringside.

There's a 1% chance he's done at Dallas, and if that doesn't happen, that basically confirms it isn't happening for a while.
That said, I also think this year's probably the most he'll be used in one year for the rest of his career
