Now, whoa, hold on a second there. Who said Hall and HHH were bad guys? Sure, Hall has a drinking problem, but I seriously doubt that makes these guys jerks. Come on, man, unfounded Triple H hatred needs to stop. Plus saying "the likes of" sounds they like have criminal records, and that's just not the case. That, and I don't know, I imagine Hall's the best bartsool companion one would have. Damn, I hate being serious because once again people use "reports" and unfounded "this guy's a jerk on tv he must be on in real life" to back up their arguments and then crack a joke one line later. Oh, well, to each his own. And Goldust calling his dad trash and mocking him is no different than Christopher in NWA when he hated on HIS dad. Period. It's all a work. Selling out happens in real life, backstage, where the camera's aren't. So we usually don't know who "sell's out." Perhaps Molly sold out by doing the big butt gimmick.
Calm down. I took it to mean that HHH and Hall are basically sleazy guys, which you can make the case for. I mean, wrestlers aren't a group of choirboys. Especially those two. So hanging out with Britney Spears and Halle Berry is a better choice.

I can't believe this topic has went on this long without this...
Did the Rock sell out? Yes! He sold out the Nassau Coliseum on Sunday, Nationwide Arena last month, and several other stops in the past 6 weeks.
Also, the Rock is not a sell out. He never said he wouldn't do movies. My definition of a sell out is someone who says they will NEVER do something and then when the money comes along, they do it. However, I don't really care anyway. I could sit here and say, "man! I would never be in one of those damn Stacker 2 commercials!" But, if they called me tomorrow and offered me, say, 10 bucks, I'd do it. Money is money.

Yes, the Rock sold out and we helped him do it. He has his name on a contract to wrestle, not to be a part-timer. Now he's making movies instead of doing what his contract stipulates. Is he doing it with the blessing of the company? Sure he is. Does that make it okay? Not in my book. Your name's gotta be worth something.
I considered the Rock a sell-out when he started talking about 'our forefathers' in a promo with William Regal. Washington and the like. I believe it was on the Thanksgiving smackdown last year. Rock was putting down England and speaking of how 'our forefathers' left it. Yeah, Rock, those aren't exactly YOUR forefathers. Those are the guys who sailed across the ocean and enslaved your forefathers. Then he prostituted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's speech "free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last" by substituting "free at last" with "kickin' ass", totally contradicting what King preached, fought for, and died for. Now I know when the race issue comes up, everyone rolls their eyes and says not again, but think about that. A man dies, actually DIES, preaching peace and unity between the races and Rock uses that in a wrestling promo? that's selling out.
However making money and securing a good life for yourself is not selling out. Speaking as if you are someone you aren't is.
