His career basically mirrors what Hogan did so far. He hasn't had any great dramatic roles or anything. He's done comedies, movies for kids and had side roles in action movies. Hogans movies have never made the amount of money Rock's movies have made. And The Rock has been the leading star(not side role) in almost everyone of his movies. I would really like you to ask 100 people that question, lets see what answers you come up with. In no way shape or form has anything the Rock done suprassed anything Hogan has done. I'm not saying he won't, but I highly doubt it. Rock has surpassed Hogans career in a quarter of the time Hogan had. Now if we are talking about just wrestlers, I don't think I'd even put Rock in the top 5 for popularity. Hogan, Flair, Piper, Warrior and Bret Hart are all ahead of him just off the top of my head. Top 5 popular wrestlers of all time with no Austin or The Rock. End Argument. No way in hell Piper Warrior or Bret Hart are more popular than Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Cena, Orton etc.

Disagree Completely

I'm guessing you haven't seen this movie yet.

Hulk Hogan over his entire movie career grossed 420 million dollars worldwide.

Dwayne Johnson has already grossed over 2.3 billion worldwide and he still has a successful future to look forward to.

Both of them have been in nothing but popcorn movies anyway though.

I have actually enjoyed Dwayne Johnson in several roles but I like him much better as a supporting actor than as a lead.

Hogan's movies are horribly cheesy and have not aged well at all, but they certainly do have sentimental value for those over 30 like me.

But in any event, neither one of them have ever been in a four star (or better) movie and neither one of them ever will.

No Holds Barred was 6 stars! 4 thumbs up!

The Rock movie I've enjoyed the most where he was the lead was The Rundown. I've heard good things about Fast Five (haven't seen it yet) and he was good in the Get Smart reboot in a supporting role. I think the Fast Five role should he re-establish Rock as an action guy; he'd be good in The Expendables sequel and as a lead guy he could carry a film with a lot of action, but the script has to be good. I thought Faster would be that film, but the story was crap.

As for Hogan, Suburban Commando, ftw! No Holds Barred, I keep waiting for that to hit Netflix instanst stream.

I enjoyed him in The Rundown and Be Cool the most. But let's face it. Neither one of them have ever appeared in anything remotely resembling a cinematic masterpiece and neither one of them ever will.

Rocky III was awesome.
