| | Posted: | | | | I would argue that on the wrestling DVDs, he wasn't The Rock as himself. He was Dwayne Johnson as The Rock (uncredited). The seems to be his position as well. |

I read somewhere recently that Duwayne Never wants to be referred to as The Rock again..
so in keeping CLT accurate the name should be registered as Duwayne Johnson for all his films , and the first few entrys of his profile where WWE demanded his name as The Rock should be his alias in those titles only . None of this matters. He was credited as 'The Rock' and that is all that matters. As for his wrestling credits, he was The Rock, not Dwayne Johnson as The Rock. Those are their stage names, which is why they are credited that way in films credits, and that is what we should use. It doesn't really matter what his position was. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Wrestling names aren't stage names. They are characters that they play. Their wrestling character is based on them to some degree, but will have many departures from their actual life. This is presumably why he doesn't want to be called the Rock. |

This is presumably why he doesn't want to be called the Rock. Then why was he credited as 'The Rock' in his first few movies? Because that was his stage name. Why did he sign autographs as 'The Rock', instead of Dwayne Johnson? Because that was his stage name. He can try and distance himself from it all he wants but it changes nothing. During the early part of his career, his stage name was 'The Rock' and that is how he should be entered. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Adam West signed some stuff as Batman. He was originally billed as The Rock because no one knew who Dwayne Johnson was then. |

Since that isn't his name, it must have been his stage name...unless you are going to argue that it was 'Dwayne Johnson as The Rock as The Scorpion King'.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
