The Rock takes a movie break as it seems. He just won the WWE Championship title last Sunday. He has only one movie on this years schedule to be made. The WWE cannot afford for him to disappear all the time. Since he re-appeared like 2 years ago, creating a feud, just to be basically absent the whole time until last Wrestlemania. There he shown up, won his match, and gone he was again. Now he's back, and grabbed the title.. Means pretty much that he's to stick around for a while.
But then, it doesn't mean he can't make movies down the road. Just not immediately. And as Thrall? What's that article writer smoking? lol
