This criticism started from his very first role in a movie. The viewers pointed out again and again that The Rock played himself in any movie, rather than his character.

And now, that there are much other fish in the sea when it comes to WWE wrestlers turning actors, people are comparing them with Johnson.

To say that people have a problem with Johnson’s acting is underselling it. But the most surprising thing is people prefer this former World Champion’s acting to Johnson’s or John Cena’s.

Dwayne Johnson gets roasted by fans when compared to other WWE superstars who are actors

When one fan tweeted who Twitter thought was the best WWE actor, chaos ensued.

Disregarding Johnson like that, when he was the one who broke the glass barrier for wrestlers all over the world, is not the best thing. And after he’s earned the title of Highest Paid actor, there is no way he isn’t an actor.

While people weren’t behind Cena in the beginning, ‘Peacemaker’ has truly changed his career for the better. Fans are behind him and he’s becoming a bigger star in the movie industry than some would believe.

Bautista truly deserves all of this work when you see the man’s body of work in Hollywood. Playing action hero, comedy star, superhero, and even introvert, he has done everything.

Dave Bautista is the only one in the trio who hasn’t returned to WWE as much. He isn’t even considered a wrestler anymore because of the popularity he found in Hollywood. Guardians of the Galaxy was a life-changing experience for the Animal.

Playing himself is the shining factor that made him rise as the highest-paid actor in 2019. But for this specific question, Batista being the first choice of many people is not surprising.

While people agree that Batista has been working hard to match the skills of an actor, people should understand the level of Johnson as well. Johnson is not only an actor but plays a vital role in the background and marketing of his movies.

Obviously, because the entire reason for a Johnson movie is to see Johnson on the screen. While viewers don’t see him on our TVs now, he found a fanbase who would pay hundreds to go watch him in a theatre.

While one can’t agree with this statement but there is a reason that Johnson only does action-heavy movies. Since the beginning of his career, Johnson has done no movie where he didn’t have to do an action scene.
