One of the main qualities a WWE superstar possesses is his in-ring movement. It is one of the principal qualities that he should have.

Since he made his debut, the Rock underwent various gimmick changes and finally landed a narcissistic role that would create ripples in the industry. Along with Stone Cold Steve Austin, he wrestled in five-star matches and outshone his fellow wrestlers. However, the main selling point came from his mic skills, as he delivered iconic promos every time he stepped foot into the ring. It impressed Arnold as he mentioned Rock’s presence on the microphone. 

“My screen presence came from bodybuilding, Dwayne’s came from professional wrestling. He could do action very believably, and he is also a very good talker. Professional wrestlers have to be convincing in their talking, and he was always good at that in the ring and he was able to unleash that talent in front of the camera,” said Schwarzenegger. Like Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a charismatic bodybuilder himself. A person who loved interacting with people. He would have made a terrific WWE superstar.
