Well, "that rumor" been confirmed by the WWF.
Duane Johnson, aka "The Rock" well appear on Voyager later in the season in a guest-starring role. Mick Foley, aka "Mankind" is also rumored to pop up this year.
Now, this definitely reeks of enforced intra-network cross-pollination that Trek was free from on syndication, and while I daresay I do watch pro wrestling (it is just a big male soap, really), I don't like the idea in pronciple.
However, I must say that "The Rock" is certainly one of the better actors on the show... sure, his character is a bit 1D (but then again, aren't all wrestling characters?), but he certainly isn't as useless an actor as your average wrestler. (yeah, I'm talking about you, Mr. Hogan).

I'd just like to say that I have absolutely no idea what on Earth you're talking about. All I got out of that is that some wrestling wacko is apparently going to be on VOY? Of course, that idea in and of itself is enough to make me sick...

*sigh* Why doth we always resort to Voyager-bashing even when it has very little to do with the subject.
"They're actors." That's what I keep telling myself.

Expect a recurring adverarial species to appear this season - a race of muscular humanoids who wear bandanas, but have a radiation in their homeworlds atmosphere that renders all their natural fabrics stringy and weak.

Egads! *reads TrekToday* Now this wrestler is going to be a Vulcan. This is confusing...
Question: If this is UPN cross-promotion, why is there no... ahh, uhm... UPN promotion? They were quick to promote "Pathfinder"...
