I think Dwayne needs to have a word with you

[@forthehomies7043]

I honestly think John Cena's recent performances have been incredible, especially in Ricky Stanicky. I don't absolutely love The Rock but I do think he does a great job. Bautista can hang with them, I think, he just needs to be given more lines in his performances.

[@shona5512]

Dave is the best all round actor. Comedy, drama and action. Cena can do action just as well as Dave, but he has better comedic chops. Johnson is just mediocre at it all.

[@wwechampion]

Dave looks like a retired Fillipino drug kingpin. This man has always known how to dress well and he's a fantastic actor too.
