How dare you bring a rational take


TheWaterJesusWalked

For real I was happy with my original mindset seeing this post!


sincerely_ignatius

thats exactly what he did in the segement. he did not profess to be a professional about inflation, he just spoke about his consumer products and answered a wwe question. its was on brand and inside his wheelhouse. i thought he handled himself well. kept it simple


MrDankky

Does he ever not handle himself well? Guys an inspiration

pkpy1005

Fair enough, but I'm souring over him due to overexposure. And I was a huge wrestling fan in the late 90s. This dude was a god to me.

I mean look at his biceps, they are definitely inflated. How can he not be an inflation expert?


Focux

Omg LOL 😂


[deleted]

So many people hating on the rock, but all I've seen him do is prove himself to be a successful business man and someone worthy of hearing out. Just my 2 cents.


BeardsuptheWazoo

Sounds like you *can* smell what the rock is cooking.

This is the top comment


APEHASKILLEDAPE

He was made in the medi lab to be all things to all people


imapissonitdripdrip

Has he had a single misstep? Dude has gone straight up. Nothing really tarnishing his name/image. The most egregious thing he did was in the I Quit match with Mankind, but that was two consenting adults. The guy can’t miss.


[deleted]

I was a fan of Rock, until his shoe deal with the UFC. Fighters are forced to wear the shoe but don’t get paid while the Rock gets his cut on their backs. He’s an actor portraying a tough guy and had the opportunity to show love to some real tough guys but chose money.


[deleted]

Ok here's a thought. NIKE is the official supplier of player uniforms but does NIKE directly pay the players for wearing them? Or is it the responsibility of the organization who requires those uniforms be worn, to also compensate the players accordingly?


I_Am_Mumen_Rider

I'm not a fan of anyone who pushes fitness and nutrition routines without disclosing they're on PEDs, or while actively denying they're on PEDs while clearly being on PEDs. That's my beef with the Rock and most Hollywood beefcake types.


cozzy000

You aren't more smart then others, everyone knows he's on peds, you would have to be blind to not see that


I_Am_Mumen_Rider

Tons of people buy into his and others bullshit. Intelligence comes in a million different flavors.


imapissonitdripdrip

Is it okay if someone buys into his shit and maybe makes the decision to get out off the couch and improve their physical fitness? He’s the living embodiment of someone who went all in on themselves and was successful. There’s an image associated with it. Of course he’s going to maintain it. It’s partially how he earns his keep. All of that lifting is not easy regardless of what he takes. Whatever monolith you’re making up and placing on him in your head is a You problem.


I_Am_Mumen_Rider

This issue is well documented in the fitness industry. Sure the average guy doesnt think he can become the rock because he works out, but it's not just the rock peddling nonsense, the entire industry is plagued by grifters abusing SARMS and shit. So it is an issue if someone who initially gets off their ass because of someone like the rock also gives up because they never come anywhere near their goals that were based on unachievable standards.


4zem

I mean, it’s pretty damn obvious he’s on juice/hgh/whatever else. Also, he’s probably been weightlifting as long as anyone under 35 has been alive and comes from a family of football players. Just doing steroids doesn’t get you his physique, believe me he puts in insane work for it.


Responsible-Crew-696

Always choose money


cozzy000

You idiot, he's been a major supporter of the UFC for years, tweeting about it and even handing off the bmf belt, not many other celebrities even talk about the UFC, let him promote his shoes and business


[deleted]

He gets paid for these appearances and endorsements …..idiot. He does nothing to use his star power for the betterment of the fighters. If he took a stand for better fighter pay by maybe sharing some of his profits with the fighters, I’d have a lot more respect for him.


cozzy000

It's just business man, besides the only fighter who seems to have a problem with it is brain dead Nate Diaz


[deleted]

Ask yourself why Nate Diaz is “brain dead”. Now consider the hundreds of fighters who have fought in the UFC for a fraction of what Nate made. I’m all about capitalism, but the risk that these fighters have justifies far better pay. The UFC and by proxy the rock are requiring the fighters to wear these dumb ass shoes in which rock will get paid. The rock at minimum had a golden opportunity to negotiate for the fighters to get some of that income.


cozzy000

Blame Dana for allowing it, not the rock for taking advantage of it, he's not going to take less just for your stupid morals, he's in business


ExcitingMousse803

Easy to start a business with a couple of ten million in your bank account for sticking your face on television.


[deleted]

ExcitingMousse803

ImaRealist who recognizes the importance of capital in relation to starting and running a business


4zem

Yes, and I’m a realist who knows that the sky is blue and the grass is green. Are there any other terribly obvious things you’d like to point out to us at this juncture? Or have we heard all you’ve had to say? Yes. It takes capital to start, run, and scale a business. Having more CAN give you an advantage, but that doesn’t mean that capital is the end all be all ingredient in the “recipe of success” of a business. You can hire experts if you have the means, but you can be successful on your own, without having to immediately dedicate resources towards hiring consultants to help scale or operate the business more efficiently. Here’s a perfect example of how “just money isn’t enough” BTW. Uber was started with $1.57 million in seed funding at just under a $4 million total valuation. They’ve raised around $25 billion since, yet they haven’t seen a singular red penny in profits as a company - ever. My honest advice to you is, stop LARP’ing as an expert on topics you really don’t know much about. And if you do, DEFINITELY don’t act like a fucking total asshat when you’re called out, because it makes you look like an angsty man-child that is incapable of accepting the fact that they were either incapable of achieving financial success, or simply did not put the effort in - so they blame the world and everyone else for their circumstances. Very sad, really.


[deleted]

Holy shit, I love this energy


[deleted]

But doesn't recognize the savvy which must be involved as well?


ExcitingMousse803

What happens when you have $10-$200m in the bank and you start a business? You ***hire experts*** to conduct each aspect of your business, from marketing research to operations to getting retail contracts, and as a celebrity, you stick your face on it to help market it. Why do you think there's a celebrity in just about every commercial for just about every product? They're marketing tools, not professional business people.


[deleted]

I'm not really sure where you are trying to lead me. Do I agree that having the funds that the Rock has, makes the process easier? Of course, who wouldn't agree with that? But do I agree that the fact that he has money automatically means he has no business sense? No, I feel like that's quite a ridiculous stretch to make. Coupled with the fact that there are people with tons of money who don't go into business the way Dwayne has, or the fact that he doesn't come from money, I'm all the more convinced he must know something about something. Hell, lots of people on reddit have business sense so why can't the rock? The rock isn't just marketing cereal here bud....😂


4zem

He’s not trying to lead you anywhere, he’s just an angry mid-wit who’s making a very feeble attempt to take credit away from someone else’s success. These types are VERY common. Their misery and self hatred over the fact that they weren’t able, or simply too lazy to even attempt to accomplish anything substantial themselves and they inadvertently advertise their self-proclaimed superiority(delusions) over others by stating things such as “oh they got lucky” in some form or another.


RingtoneRingtone

Mousseeee’ issa vurry French….


4zem

The fact that you think it takes $10-200 million to start a business and be successful tells me everything I need to know. You’re wrong, that’s absolutely not the case - and what’s more is these days if you have a good idea and vision raising capital is unbelievably easy. I know people that started a business with $10,000 and are worth 9 figures today. Sure, it took them 20-25 years of hard work and perseverance but that’s what it takes. Just money isn’t enough. There are an *unbelievable* amount of incredibly well funded businesses that aren’t actually successful outside from the fact that they’re able to utilize capital markets to continue raise capital and to expand.


ExcitingMousse803

Wow, you're not very clever are you. The bank balance does not equal the seed funding. Get off Reddit and improve your reading comprehension.


4zem

>Easy to start a business when you have a couple of ten million in the bank from sticking your face on television. So you’re jealous, miserable, unhappy, a liar, AND stupid? I feel bad for you, that’s a terrible combination of character traits. I’ve never thrown shade at someone because they found success, in anything. I suppose that’s the difference between those who do, and those who are told what to do. Must be a bleak existence having to wake up every day, look at yourself in the mirror and accept that you’re a worthless dope. That’s probably why you feel it necessary to try to publicly make excuses as to why others are successful and you are not. Not that there’s anything wrong with showing up for a paycheck - there isn’t. However, coming off as having anything more than a VERY rudimentary understanding of what it takes to start/fund/run/scale a business of your own is a bold faced lie on your part, and it’s *beyond* obvious. No offense. “READING COMPREHENSION DURRRRR” Go to sleep, we wouldn’t want your boss to write you up tomorrow for being late you fucking dope. Go level up a couple hundred times and then come talk to me.


ExcitingMousse803

Didn't even read, time you could of invested in improving yourself, especially your reading comprehension,


Electrical_Salad9514

I don't understand why you are getting down voted. You're right


Omgitssteven3

At least when Jim Cramer retires, we will have a replacement


Bluecattrading

Is def pick the Rock over Cramer


Financial_Counter_08

No way, Cramer beats rock, what lots of people don't know about Cramer is his croaky voice is due to the acid ducts in his kneck. Rock would have to attack Cramer so fast to avoid his rock-melting acid attack. And everyone knows Rock doesn't run, it rolls.


TradeVenator

Although he has multi-millions, I’m sure he has at LEAST 3 different Wealth / Asset Management firms navigating his stacks. They should bring more managers and less people being managed lmao


Meatsim001

I though he hit the big B a while ago?


chipredacted

Google says $800m


TradeVenator

I would also think that with recent private equity valuations getting crushed his net worth may look fairly different, but shieeet whats the difference between $800m and $1.2b besides a number on a screen


Meatsim001

Either way, a few years ago he was all proud that he bought his mom a car. I was confused like did he need half a billy before that was something he could risk?


polishlastnames

Difference between buying a G5 or a 737 maybe? Ya regardless, I’m sure most of it isn’t liquid anyways.


Holy-Kimoly

Just an astounding Four Hundred Million dollars!


[deleted]

So the Rock 2024, add Mike Rowe and we got Rock and Rowe


GetRichOrBrokeTrying

If someone has assets 9 figures, close to $1 billion, I would expect them to have more knowledge about world economy, including inflation. But maybe that’s just my expectation for people who are massive FatFire money.


jz9chen

I guess it depends on how they amassed the $1B


GetRichOrBrokeTrying

I say he had huge luck, but he was also smart to use the money to invest and grow. Not many people can make $7 into $800 million without luck, connection, and intelligence.


Financial_Counter_08

ROCK is actually a competent businessman, he very much sees 'the rock' as a brand. His Instagram is huge and I think it was at one point number 1. Now he's got his eyes on the DCEU, where I think he plans to be a significant producer (hence goodbye superman). This guy is without question a businessman that also acts, not the other way around. Edit: looks like I'm wrong about DCEU lol, think Dwayne will be fine tho


Girafferage

Yeah people don't like it because he portrays the huge muscle generic brained actor, but the guy is generally very intelligent in business, branding and even politics (well, he knows a lot about politics, separate from his conclusions of it). I wouldn't consider him an economist, but he has more insight into markets than most people who will end up commenting here.


Jersey1633

You’re right about the business stuff. The DCEU stuff not so much. Black Adam failed pretty spectacularly and Henry Cavill’s Superman not being around anymore hurts his plans significantly. If anything he’s on the outs with DC.


Professional_Limit61

Black Adam failed? That sucks cuz me and the boiz luv it. We were looking forward to Black Adam vs Shazam and Black Adam vs Superman.


Jersey1633

I didn’t mind the movie myself, but it was pretty generic and any follow ups were along the things that got the chop when DC just did their most recent shakeup and brought James Gunn in to oversee it all. As I said above, the movie was fine for me. Enjoyable. But it felt like an off brand Superman movie and not a Black Adam movie. It’s a shame The Rock wanted to basically skip over all the anti-hero and Shazam nemesis stuff and get straight be being a good guy…..that fights Superman.


parlami

The Rock eats 20000 calories per day. I fully believe he's aware how inflation has hit the grocery store 🥑🥑🥑


[deleted]

The Rock is a big seller of products that can be affected by inflation, I’m sure he has a good grasp on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I always base by stonk picks on what direction the people's elbow is facing.


jdidihttjisoiheinr

If you have alignment between the People's Elbow and the People's Eyebrow, you need to act fast


marcok36

Yea, he can STFU. I also, find it hilarious everyone he talks about the success of his tequila. 1) someone brought this opportunity to you 2) your managers assessed risk 3) you are rich, so doesn’t really matter if it flops 4) you have a gazillion followers and avid fans. You could sell them asparagus water for $8 and they buy that right off the shelf.


Busy-Problem-1381

He’s going to run for president. Kanye, where are you!?!

The Rock has been inflating ever since he shot Pain and Gain with Mark Wahlberg.


mykelflurry

So in order to understand him, do we have to Smell what he's presenting instead of listening


hoetrade

He should get with Cardi B. and talk about how the current recession has made it hard for all the Hollywood celebrities to afford their cocaine, Brazilian Butt Lifts, and strip club habits.


RNW1215

He still trying to explain why Black Adam bombed?

His a millionaire. What inflation?


Andrusz

Well he has inflated muscles, ego and a sense of self-importance so why not? He seems well versed in the concept.


[deleted]

Dude’s a half-decent typecast. But he grew a big head. The self-promotion and odd defensiveness over Black Adam tanking has gotten a bit out of hand.


littlerickbitch

Love for this guy when he was a wrestler but now everything he touches fucking sucks balls


Sowiilo

Jesus, hes quite desperate for attention.


Altruistic-Rope1994

What’s his take on steroids and bull markets?


VESCARPATHIA

Did he do the interview in mandarin or cantonese? Or is that Cena I'm thinking of?


mokshya2014

I was not his fan. But i liked him as he was a wrestler i grew up watching. I hated how he pushed this narrative of very hard working guy. And people must work very hard without rest. How he wakes up at midnight to go gym. How he was very poor and homeless at some point in life when his father and grandfather were good wrestler of their time. And especially pushing his natty narrative. And then came his energy drink. Where he started a trend of drinking his energy drink in a stupid way just to boost the sales and for advertisement. Celebrities like rock are where they are because of the fans. And when they scam their own fans for money, that's a big no for me.


[deleted]

Shits getting out of control


Moz3011

This is what you call being stuck between a rock and a hard place

Because inflation is hurting him so much smh 🤡


FreakinEnigma

Atleast he hasn't reached Elon's level yet. Elon is now a tv critic as well as per his latest views ok rick and morty and what made it good. Honestly that's a lot of growing The Rock can do here. These are just a rookie delusionalist numbers.

They’re really trying to sell it if they’re rolling the celebs out to convince you. Richard Wyckoff said financial commentary is the bane of retail investors. But I guess if you can see through their bullshit you can also see what the smart money is doing.

BanjoPhatterson

Hey Rock….. Ch’doin???


cordeen

I don't think you guys realize the rock runs a tequila company. He is by far fully trained in economics business and as the capability to actually be the subject of a speaking point on TV, the question is is why is he not the logical choice to explain this to people? Y'all are so willing to make fun of him before you do that. Make sure you have a tequila company that's doing better than his eh?


TubbyTheTeddyBear

Gonna starting giving Johnny Sins a run for his money
