Thought: Lost my appreciation for “The Rock”…

I used to love “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, he used to be a hero and I’ve idolized the guy for years ever since back when he was in WWE. When he turned his back on wrestling and became a movie star, he came out with a few good movies like “The Rundown”, “Scorpion King”, “Get Smart”, and “Walking Tall”…those were really great flicks, in my opinion.

Everything he has done after that: “Doom”, “The Gridiron Gang”, “The Game Plan”, and “The Race to Witch Mountain” hasn’t been interesting.

The Rock has been known to be this bad ass tough guy that we all loved to look after him. You know the most electrifying man in entertainment is gone. The dude is no longer interesting anymore. WWE wants the Rock to come back to wrestling for a few occasional appearances, but Rocky turns it down everytime ’cause he’s too busy making movies.

The Rock not only turned his back on profesional wrestling, he also turned his back on all the wrestling fans that loved him. The Rock won’t come back to WWE for a small run for his wrestling fans. I am beginning to think that the Rock is a big egomaniac, a self absorbed sellout that only cares for himself.

At least come back to Wrestlemania for one last final match, Rocky, come on!!!!! We all want to see the Rock layeth the smackdown for one last time. We all miss the Rock in WWE terribly, the WWE hasn’t been the same without him. He’s no longer interesting anymore. He’s turning himself into a mainstream celebrity. He no longer wants to be seen as a pro wrestler anymore.

I saw him host Saturday Night Live last night, there hasn’t been one segment where he brought his Rock WWE character back, so I guess he wants to act like that his wrestling character don’t exist anymore, since he is going under Dwayne Johnson, not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Rock is a sellout, and a fame whore. Go ahead and ignore the wrestling fans dude. Continue to promote yourself in the mainstream. We wrestling fans want the Rock back to wrestling at least for a one time only appearance, but the Rock keeps turning his back on us. He’s no longer the Rock anymore. He’s no longer the People’s champ. He’s no longer the electrifying man in sports entertainment to perform in front of “millions and millions” of Rock fans.

The Rock is no longer cool anymore as he once was. Come on Dwayne, go back to the tough guy image, you don’t need the celebrity thing.

Tonight’s Saturday Night Live Weekend Update special on NBC…

I watched the tonight’s “Saturday Night Live – Weekend Update” special for the Elections. And it was a LOL riot fest! I laughed hard throughout the whole thing! It was hilarious!

I find the 2nd Obama/McCain Debate spoof to be the best skit of the entire show. During that Debate 2 with Obama/McCain was mostly making fun of Tom Brokaw’s “time limits” when speaking. Bill Murray who is a former SNL star made a cameo during that skit and he was hilarious as usual.

Rumours were swirling that the real Sarah Palin herself was supposed to do a cameo but I didn’t see her on there. Look like Sarah is not on tonight but she will be on in the future, definitely sometime before the Elections happen.

SNL “Weekend Update” spin off was great. SNL should do this more often.

Report: SNL’s Amy Poehler quitting the show…

Saturday Night Live actress Amy Poehler will be leaving the show for good after 7 years being part of the cast. She is pregnant and expecting her first child soon. She’s not only leaving the show for a maternity leave, when her doctors allow her to return to work, she won’t be returning to SNL, she wants to pursue other opportunities in acting like acting for other TV shows and films for the big screen. She says it was really hard to make this decision and you have to know when to put it down.

I think I know why SNL stars leave the show to do more acting on TV and Hollywood films. Most of these actors who go on SNL, they go on SNL to help get their name out there as an actor. When their popularity rise on SNL, that’s when these actors realize they are too big and famous for the show, they want to move on to bigger opportunities.

SNL helped a lot of actors get to the big time. If there was no Saturday Night Live, then we would get no Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Kevin Nealon, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, etc. The list goes on.

Amy Poehler is getting too popular for the show, that it’s time for her to hang it up because she’s on her way to the big time. Congrats to Amy.
