Crazy to get a tattoo like that when your job is an actor, and will have to spend hours in make up getting it covered up.

I have 2 tickets to the Ring of Honor/NJPW/RevPro show in Liverpool next Saturday, but can't make it so selling them for £50 (paid £60). If anyone is interested, PM me.

Or they just put a skin coloured/green screen sleeve on him and cgi it

Well he already has a massive tattoo on the other arm and chest which he's had for years so I'm sure he's aware of whether it impacts him in Hollywood or not and if he's bothered by it.

The Rock makes a pretty strong case for the modern day application of Star Studies. He's the obvious successor to the Classical Hollywood idea of a movie star, dialling it back after the rise in method acting from the 50's onwards. The guy oozes charisma and can act, but his persona and star image is built around that of The Rock, and not his ability to transform into other identities. So I doubt the tattoo would change much, as it's just an evolution of what his fame and career is built on.

Ric Flair had to be checked into hospital, one report saying it was routine while more recent updates seemingly a lot worse.

Oh man, not the Nature Boy :(

Certainly sounds bad

It's heart related too, which is never great when wrestlers are involved. It's never great anyway but you know what I mean

Hoping he pulls through whatever this is. The wrestling world wouldn't be the same without Ric.

Hope he doesn't style and profile his way into the next life :dread:

Word is that his surgery was successful and that it wasn't heart related. At least one source (Mean Gene apparently) has suggested it was colon surgery.

Well he did once beat Flair for the NWA title in 1983. Maybe they still have beef.

I wonder if WWE are going to pull the trigger on Ambrose turning on Rollins at SummerSlam or if they've going to wait.

Tag team title run will come first I imagine

I was thinking they'd keep the "fist bump" moment after the long build for summer slam, which would have worked much better after they won the titles, so an Anbrose turn seems more possible now.

John Cena is no longer booked for SmackDown Live either, last night was his final appearance. He's listed for RAW from now on. So Corbin could win at SummerSlam to get his revenge on Cena, but he's not writing him out.

But seriously though, Corbin's been shat on by Cena all week long, got into a Twitter spat with Dave Meltzer that made him look like a goof, shat on by Meltzer again on why he should never be WWE champion, launched a T-Shirt range that makes it look like he's supporting the KKK, has a physique that by WWE standards is poor, and bores the crowd to tears.
