The WWE deleted my video the first time.. hopefully this one stays up. Sorry y'all
grimey.
Hope they don’t do it again. This was very insightful
I knew I saw this before
dont even trip Bro ima watch the whole thing again 💙💙

"He was not lucky".... he came from a wrestling family that started his career smoothly compared to those who would never get that. He was lucky. AND he worked hard to continue his streak by being a hard worker. Everyone is lucky to some degree. It depends whether you embrace your luck or let it slip by.
Exactly. Some of us were fortunate to be born into a post office mail sorter family…oh wait.
@@majorgear1021 still better than being born homeless
Some say it took drive
Others say it took power
One thing is for certain, he stayed hungry so he devoured.
Exactly, kinda like whats said in the book outliers

He got accepted to a football program after only 2 years, he was immediately pushed forward in the WWE, and he was in the Guinness world book of records for the highest salary for a debut actor. He was accepted by every industry, he just almost failed in every industry and learned to reinvent himself. Which is equally as impressive as just sheer determination. The ability to identify what isn't working and focus on your strengths
tru dat
well tbh he was accepted to the program purely just of how good he was and how hard hè worked, and he was pushed forward to the wwe because of his likability, its true that he almost failed in basically everything but u cant just blame his chances on pure luck
@@beerustdv1822 read my post, brah
He's friends with Oprah. Both of them begging the masses for money to help the people in Lahina. He sold his soul a long time ago.
And congratulations to that high school football coach who looked at that 6’4” 16-year-old descended from a family of Samoan wrestlers and saw something that nobody else did
My friends and I ran into him at Disney years ago, he was already a major star at the time. My friends wife was pregnant and he nearly walked right into her outside of the bathrooms, he apologized, noticed she was pregnant and asked how far along she was, then he told her congrats and moved on, super nice guy.

Imagine the rock finding this comment and remembering this day
@salvadorramirez4114, Imagine he sees Ibrahim quotes himself and makes fun of him.
@@ibrahimsyal um, okay… 🤣
I think the fear of the instability he had during his childhood is what drives him, not necessarily ego. When you grow up in poverty, moving from place to place, like so many do, you'll do whatever it takes to survive. I think he's honestly just concerned about returning to nothing, and now he also has the burden of a production company which means he's worried about keeping the money rolling in. Despite Black Adam being an absolute trash heap, I hope he continues to find success. My earliest and fondest memories of him were in the ring, it's nice to see him still getting work (and creating work, essentially).
His father is rich pro wrestler and his mother also rich. This story he was poor with is fake.
@@TheVindein not exactly.
If all it took was fear of instability to make someone famous, there would be tons of famous people. Congratulations on a dumb comment
Pretty sure the “the rock never lose clause” is a perfect example of how egotistical he is

WWE be petty. Sort of. Pat used WrestleMania footage i believe. That's bread & butter right there. WWE have been able to prove mere seconds are substantial content to warrant such strikes.
As an insider in pro wrestling I'm torn becuase i understand how in theory at least it can take away WWE's money stream but usually there aren't many ways they can BUT THEN AGAIN *WWE STUDIOS* PROSUCES TONS OF DOCUMENTARIES LIKE PATRICKS (LONG BEFORE HE WAS BORN EVEN) so yeah.
WWE strikes aren't normally on so much BS like say...UMG...they just do a lot of them because, for example: some WrestleMania matches are SECONDS. Which can be sold individually or apart of collections seperate from the WrestleMania event. That's their little excuse summed up, usually.
I support Patrick Cc absolutely however. Just explaining things.
@@shueibdahir the original version of this one.

One thing I noted was he was working hard WAY before he reached success and refused to let failure define him. Instead he kept learning and kept growing.
@@mosaabtwice3999muscles big, rock work hard, anything possible, something something watch my shitty movie PLS!
what i noticed is that this guy is that one guy in the school that Steal your Smartphone,
Eat your food in the fridge, Spit and wipe booger in your car seat,
Steal your car headrest and sideview mirror and sell it for a couple of beers.
thankfully he was getting coached before he become a random street Thug
Alot of luck played in his success thats for sure, but you cannot deny that he's a very hard worker. Doesn't give up, and doesn't take things for granted. A good person all over tbh
The Rock is definitely one of the hardest working folks in the Hollywood, but Black Adam proved why he shouldn't be involved in movies beyond just being one of the actors.
Yeah I thought the same thing watching the film
I love this man, he had a great career and probably the closest thing to Arnold, I admire both these guys, but idk black adam was looking like a ego thing, he never looks this black adam he just looks like The Rock doing a cosplay, could have at least have hair and pointy ears to make character more alive, beside the bad movie, the look he had at the end of the movie was a treat
The problem with Dwayne Johnson is besides him being a douche as of late is there’s no film he has that’s GREAT that only he could star in Sylvester Stallone has Rocky and Rambo Kurt Russell has a couple Arnold has Conan terminator AND predator even the much less talented vin diesel has pitch black but the rock doesn’t have shit he had either okay films or bad films he needs to ditch his Gary Stu brand and make a good movie (& not try to piggyback off a established franchise)
Yup. He's ruining what is one of the only good things dc franchise has ever produced and that is shazam. If he cant understand that black adam is shazam's nemesis, then just kiss DC films goodbye.
@@chic-fil-ashouldopenonsund3623 one of the only good things they've produced? In terms of what
This story is very motivating knowing he only had $7 by the age of 23. It ain’t over till it’s over
Right? Lmao
lol 23 lolololol nothing is over at 23 lol. speaking of which, stallone had like 26 bucks in the bank when they offered him 200 thou for the rocky script but he turned it down because they didnt want to let him play Rocky
he literally made a production company and called it 7 bucks
At the age of 23 I was still 6 years away from the best years of my life. I thought time I thought I would never be anything. You never know where life will take you it's a long journey and if you think it's a race it's not.
I mean he was kinda born into it just to be fair, he was just denying a handout until he said f it I’ll take it but yea 7 bucks is cool and all
Being born into that kind of wrestling lineage is not coming from nothing. It's a major factor in his success as well as his dedication and hard work.
It's a shame 'The Rundown' was a flop. In the UK it's called 'Welcome to the Jungle' and in my opinion it's one of the best films The Rock has acted in.
its called that also, here in Aus. Its def' one of his best movies, as he doesnt look like a fake natty and still has some charisma in the film. Very underrated
I’m not a fan of his movies but I met him when I was a kid. My grandma was a mall walker. There was a gym located inside the mall. I saw The Rock and walked right up to him like he was my friend. He was extremely kind and probably happy when my grandma knocked on the glass to tell me to leave lol 😂
What's a mall walker?
@@jasonachilles8083 in the before times, old folks would walk around in shopping malls in the morning, to exercize

Cool story, little man!
I have a deeper respect for The Rock than I ever had before. This was a great video.
I love the way my perspective changes from me thinking the rock is just “ok”, to figuring out that he had 7 dollars and literally became the rock. I love the fact that i know of so many people in your videos and when you do a deep dive on them i get so intrigued because im never gonna just look this stuff up.
So, you're saying that you're going to believe whatever you see on youtube without actually doing the research to make sure the information is accurae? Tell me you're an easily fooled person without saying it
@@choosetolivefree👍
If you know pro wrestling then you are not surprised he got so big in Hollywood. He was incredible in WWF/WWE. His charisma is un-matched.
questions can be asked about Dwayne Johnson… However there is no questioning THE ROCK!
WWE is not wrestling. It's theatre. If you want to see wrestling go watch the actual sport of wrestling
@@choosetolivefreeyou're beating a dead horse
@@thegreenpianist7683 Eh, until people stop calling WWE wrestling, it's not a dead horse, it's fighting ignorance. Real wrestling is actually an effective combat discipline. WWE is pure theater
@@choosetolivefree it's not really fighting ignorance imo, it's being extremely pedantic. The term Pro wrestling is the widespread term when it comes to WWE, and almost everyone calls it wrestling knowing full well that it's choreographed and scripted.
But if that's a hill you're willing to die on, you do you.
Thank you for making the proper research when it came to wrestling,with the right terminology,and all that. Other people wouldn’t go the extra mile,but you did,and did good research making sure to understand wrestling.
i did watch a bit of wrestling growing up too! But I was really young like age 6 to 12
Take the meat out of your throat
Dude read a Wikipedia page and made a video reading it idk why people think this is like investigative journalism
@@PatrickCc is it true the rock is the most famous person in the world
Hopefully you can do proper research on correct punctuation and put a space after each comma
You're one of the few guys who gives unbiased commentary in every video. Also, love how everything is well-researched and well-structured! Gonna binge watch a lot of these!
Gotta give him credit. Say what you will about his ego and his acting ability, but the dudes work ethic is second to none. You pretty much know what you're gonna get with a movie starring The Rock. To me, he's a throwback to 80s action movies, for better or worse
I was 11 when The Rock’s run began. That was an amazing few years of wrestling. Prime Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker/Kane, Mankind, China, Shawn Michaels, nWo, Hollywood Hogan, Wolf Pac, could go on. It was wild.
We grew up in the best era
I was crushed when he didn't face Reigns at WM39 this year. Like was planned. I worry he'll never return & Erick Rowan will be his forever last opponent. No disrespect to him. Fine professional wrestler but he is not on The Rocks level...not even close.

Holy shit it’s a crossover
There's actually a more recent controversy regarding him and oprah, i kind of see him in a different light now.
You forgot to mention his VERSE!!! It’s about drive it’s about power !!! 😂
I think the reason The Rock is in so profitable isn't because the movies are necessarily good, it's because you know what you're getting every time, it usually won't disappoint you, definitely won't blow you away, it just does the trick when you want to watch a movie.
Edit: I also think one of the main reasons he wants to call the shots on set and has his beef with Tyrese and Vin Diesel is because of his steroid use (he always denies this claim but anyone with a brain knows you dont put muscle mass on the way he *still* does at his age.
If he uses steroids, it’s not their business though, unless they genuinely care about his health.
@@kiv_daniels it is people's business when you say you're not using juice and tell people they can get your physique naturally.
Yep, when most movies on cinemas nowadays demand you either know a decade of shared universe, eternal remakes/reboots or partake into complex philosophical ideas stuff like Fast and Furious or John Wick are pure entertainment and what deep down people want to see going to theaters. He knows it and made a fortunate from exploring this mid range market.
@@6izzy837 So vin and tyrese have a fight with the rock because they wanted the rock to come clean with the public? Doesn’t make sense, it will only hurt the fast franchise.
@@ernestyunardi7454 no because steroids make you egotistical, controlling and angry. Those are some of the side effects
Can I just say, thank you for your natural sounding commentary. No exaggerated ending tones, very easy to listen to and follow. You’re the GOAT!
Agreed. I really like his chill demeanor.

2. Your content is just really enjoyable and easy to digest. Your delivery is top notch!
Thanks! 😃
Thank you for making this video! I have to admit, I had no idea how much effort and determination he put into his careers. Quite an inspiration!
Same, the Rock is absolutely solid in his work ethic it seems
The video overstates the difficulty Rock had with his movie career. Making $5.5 million on his first film, and being the lead in four straight family films earning over $100 million each, is not exactly struggling. He just wanted to be at the tippy top of Hollywood, that's the only context where calling his journey a 'struggle' makes sense.

@@morphicresonance4015lol, just bc a movie makes 100M, doesn't mean that's what the actor gets 😂
Its like that joke hes a idiot but hes our idiot. It may be shit but if the rock is in it ill still watch
It's crazy that the rundown flopped, that was always one of my favorite movies growing up. Theres a scene in the beginning where arnold schwarzenegger says "have fun" or something like that in passing, and i always looked at it like a passing of the torch from arnold to dwayne
The Rock’s time in the WWF/WWE is the most instrumental influence on his acting career. His job for over a decade in the WWE was to entertain the same audience of millions with the same character and catchphrases. By doing this, he realized that audiences respond the most to products that are consistent and familiar. This idea has undoubtedly translated to his acting career for better and for worse.
To be fair, his entry (which kickstarted his whole movie career) to the WWF was pretty easy considering he was a legacy therefore you could argue that he did have it a little easy.
ur just picking any holes you can find. the guy worked his ass off regardless
He may have had the foot in the door but this doesn’t mean he had it easy.
i mean take a look at grandmastah sexay or curtis axel or ted debiase jr. if dwayne wasmt good and didnt put the work in he wasnt gonna be shit
I’ll admit legacies have it a lot easier than a completely unknown wrestler, but Dwayne still had to put in the work and prove himself.
He didn't have it the hardest or the easiest. His wrestling legacy was a lucky break, but Hollywood doesn't take wrestlers seriously. It's harder for them regardless of how popular they are. It's a cultural thing.
I never knew the Rock played on the same team as Warren Sapp, that’s crazy. I just read up more on it and the Rock at one point before the injury was listed as the starter over Sapp. If that injury never occurred history would’ve changed forever for the 2 of them

@@losrajvosa0078 McDonald's is one of the largest if not THE largest fast food franchise in the world. They sure as hell don't make anything gormet lol.
I know The Rock has a good business plan to basically have a movie prepared for him as soon as he's done with the previous film, but he should try to challenge himself a little with some better roles. That would be so strange to see The Rock in an A24 film like Beau is Afraid but I'd see it.
It would be somewhat good for him. He would see him in a better light and wouldn’t experience actor image burnout.
Jim Carey did well in 23. But idk. It almost didn’t stick or carry him apart from 23 & the Trueman Show.
Now he seems like a weirdo who is into some weird stuff.
I enjoy his truth telling but he isn’t shown in an optimistic light as much as he used to.
He did some relatively auteur stuff early on.
@@TheoCynical Man On The Moon? I Love You Philip Morris? Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind?

Getting the bid for cookie cutter films is sort of the opposite approach to being a bigger Will Smith
If that philosophy were true, every set Will produced would have just been a different take on the fresh prince. That man was able to populate his acting range. And I'm not going to sit here and tell you every product was a smash hit, but beating on his craft made it so directors wanted him to kick off their vision
Dwayne's success seems to stem from having the commune strong. Ergo he won't take a role unless it pads him for the brand
With that approach he can't be like Vin Diesel, a guy who goes from A man apart, to XXX, to the Pacifier. One out of three can he actually eat off of, but dammit if those films aren't memorable. Which is not bad for a dude you can hardly understand
I really loved this video it would be great if you made more videos about Hollywood actors career throughout the years
I actually like Black Adam 😭
Make your next video about how WWE owns all the people that came out of it. Especially after they took down your first upload. The business of WWE and how it treats its employees is fascinating and crazy. Love your videos dude. I’m staying hydrated.
Yes! It's touched on in this story, that even the biggest stars don't have a steady income despite making the company millions, but I've read that wrestlers often get no healthcare support in retirement even though they basically broke their bodies for this ungrateful exploitative company. Would be an interesting topic to dive into / expose for sure
trying to straight up get patrick in fights with a powerful corporation hahahaha. i tell you what, put yourself in his shoes and imagine your livelihood lol
I have nothing but respect for the man. He knows what he is doing, and keeps up doing it until it doesn't work anymore. And then, he just reshapes himself and goes back at it. However, I think it would be best if he just left the creative side apart. It's sad to see that movies, which are supposed the 7th form of art, are simply reduced to money producers.

"dwayne was pretty good at kissing ass" - CM Punk
He was definitely lucky. Pretty much all success depends on getting lucky to some degree. The key is working hard enough to be prepared to take advantage of your lucky opportunities when they present themselves. For a majority of people, their “lucky opportunities” pass us by without us seizing them, often without us even recognizing the opportunity for what it is. Success is where hard work, preparation and luck meet each other.
Much respect to Dwyane Johnson. Even if there have been some ego issues here and there, we're not all perfect and will sometimes mess up. I'm all for him taking control of his career, because why not? It was also really smart of him to create his own production company to write movies for him. I haven't seen too many of his movies, so I'm not a massive fan or anything, but I like how he seems as a person, and respect the hard work he has put in to get where he is. I hope for his sake and his family's sake that he does take time out to spend with them and isn't just always on location filming. He knows what it's like to not have his dad around much because of work.
He doesn't
It's always a terrible idea to form an opinion of someone without genuinely knowing who they are, especially public figures, as they always put on a public face that isn't really themself
@@choosetolivefree it was a lose opinion and can always be subject to change. Just because I wrote it here in the comments section of a RUclips video doesn't mean I have die hard feelings about it. Also, the same can be said about any person we know, even if we have known them personally for years.
Also, I did say I like how he "seems" as a person, because I always know that we don't truly know what a celebrity is like.
@@MomoSimone22 All I know for sure about Dwayne is that he's on toxic steroids and lies about it, and the detrimental effect that will have on millions of young men is untold. That's all I need to know. Scummy

Watching the video twice cause Patrick deserve it 🔥🔥
Watched it the first time , sorry it had to be taken down, I'll be sure to share this with my followers
My old principal is related to the rock. No one believed him until we got a chance to meet the rock at our school. Such a kind soul. Amazing back story.
I think it was SUPER smart of him to decide on the roles he wanted to play, aiming for a promise for his audience, that they would know what they'd get and enjoy it. A lot of actors are dedicated to the craft, but not necessarily developing that close relationship with an audience. Like a lot of times, if actors become known for one thing, they have to try to "break out" and play something extremely different so they don't get "stuck," while many audiences really don't have that feeling towards actors and just want to enjoy actors play characters they know they'll get invested in. It's why people would go see a "Tom Hanks" movie or a "Will Smith" movie for so long. They knew what they'd get, and that's what they wanted to see. It's really smart to look at things from the viewers' POV like that. Most movie watchers just want a little break from their lives, they aren't all in it for the experimental, or dark, or artistic stuff. They just want some fun.
Problem is, Black adam require he should break that mold and go a little darker because black adam is well...a darker chararter. In a way he break his own rule.
time to watch the video for a second time. personally i find it to be unfair your vids get taken down. stay positive pat! your content is truly entertaining and interesting.

And he’s about to reprise the character in the live action remake.

Your analysis is so smooth, Patrick. Good work, sire. ❤❤
i’m a key production assistant, been in the industry for 4 yrs (i’m 22)
Dwayne is the DREAM actor to work with . The crew can easily work 80+ hrs in a week, nothing makes that time drag worse than a diva on set. Especially in my position (start as the lowest paid, end up being highest paid) it just makes a hard job that much easier with people like him around. Kerry Washington is really nice as well, she is even nice to the background actors when a lot of the crew gives them shit. Love that you highlighted that.

Bold of you to explain that the Rock was born into wrestling, being part of the Samoans AND Rocky Johnson's son, and how his name carried him through wrestling education and jobbing at a much faster pace than a no-name wrestler, and then say he built his empire from the ground up, from nothing.
Fair but he did take it and ran with it. Many wrestlers have tried to make the transition into Hollywood and failed.
Another thing, why *didn't* Johnson's Samoan cousins go for more if they had a nepotism ties to wrestling? Why didn't they make the transition? They were already in, why didn't they do it?
Idk the reason but there's gotta be a reason Dwayne Johnson broke through.
It can't be because of the nepotism ties though; I mean sorta but again, his cousins should've been first in line to take it and didn't.
Dwayne Johnson is built different. Idk what set him apart but a collection of something.
I mean Elon Musk or the Amazon founder wasn't from rags to riches either but they had a great start and they ran with it. Some people just do it however.
It is absolutely ridiculous to say he "came from nothing."
Both are right, because while it helps being a legends son doesnt ensure much. You still gotta have the acting chops and be able to take a hit
@@TheoCynical His family members have basically been the top of WWE for the last three years.
I had the exact same thought but then I remembered that he also mentions that once his father’s hours and income dramatically decreased, his family started struggling financially and they lost their home at one point.
So technically you and Pat are both right. He did start from the bottom 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, but he also benefited from the reputation and influence of his father and the well established legacy of his wrestling family.

Don't worry man! We're still here for you, we're going to make the video go up again! 💪💙
And here we are, April 2024, 48 hours from what will arguably be the biggest match he’s done at the 40th anniversary of Wrestlemania. Capping off what has arguably been his greatest run as The Final Boss. That man is goated.
Thank you for keeping us hydrated!
Pat CC got crazy consistency getting this back up 👏
I’m really sorry the original got taken down. We will still show up for you and drive the numbers up on this one too 🙌🏽
I had Mr. Cwik as a Social Studies teacher in middle school back in the early 00s. East Hills is the middle school literally right next door to Freedom High School, which is why he taught at both schools. He would ALWAYS talk about The Rock. Unfortunately, he died maybe 15 years ago or so. Definitely one of my favorite teachers back then.
*The Rock is my guy not only i FUCKING love his film but i am also motivated with his FUCKING physique.*
One of the best content creators out there, thanks pat🙌🏼
I think it's cool you provided a nuanced take on it as opposed to "Rock have big ego, Rock bad" that I've heard from other people
Wow this gave me a lot of context on how he became who he is right now. Amazing analytical video by the way ❤
Pain And Gain was the only time I felt him acting and man I want more of that.
Like many others, we out here watching this a second time to support our boy Patrick! Much love man. Love your videos
He did come from a wrestling family. In showbiz he was something like minor nobility. Things didn’t immediately work out for him but he did have the social capital to try again. Most people only get one shot.
The hell are you saying that he should come out as a skinny white dude with zero testosterone to make it fair, he basically made a name for himself using his own strengths, something just not possible with many people
@@MGrey-qb5xz
What the hell are you saying dude ?? Are you on drugs ?? I never said he should have started out skinny or white. I never even mentioned his testosterone. Did you even read my comment?? What I am saying is that without his father’s experience and training or his family’s connections in show biz, he would have been a personal trainer at LA fitness.
@@ervinlima9678 again with that crap, you want him to just be born with zero background to under mine his success, keep being jealous
@@MGrey-qb5xz
I’m not Jealous dude. I’m just saying that he had a lot of help. Help his father did not have. Help other wrestlers did not have. Stop smoking crack and read the comments you are answering to.
@@ervinlima9678 you are ignoring the fact that has was born in to a career that gave his father nothing yet still came on top. If he was rich he would have studied for a successful career. You're just a sad little man who can't realize that others born in worse conditions then you actually made a name for themselves
That joke about The Rock being the tooth fairy was WAY too funny
Not 'scripted' (except for promos, depending on the company), but rather, a brilliant dance during which the participants communicate w/one another in order to call the trajectory of the match on the fly, only knowing ahead of time the winner, & often times, the finish.
