Hollywood actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were two of the biggest action stars of their generation. Both superstars managed to have a lasting impact on popular culture for the better part of two decades with a variety of blockbuster films under their names.

However, this naturally gave rise to the question of who was the bigger action star among the two. Former WWE superstar and action hero Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson seemed to have the answer to this question as he revealed who was the bigger star according to him.

‘The Rock’ recently starred in a sitcom based on his own life ‘Young Rock’. Moreover, in an episode, a younger version of Johnson debates who was a better action star with his friend. His friend thought Stallone was impressive, but Schwarzenegger was better. However, ‘The Rock’ argued in Stallone’s favor with a three worded response. “Stallone all day,” he said.

He also gave his reasoning why Stallone was better than Schwarzenegger, referencing his iconic character Rambo. “It’s a fact that my guy could take your guy via air, land, sea and time,” he added.

However, ‘The Rock’ didn’t budge and still went with Rambo as his choice. “Rambo, he’s experienced in tropical environments he’s escaped POW camps. He knows how to deal with a loose cannon,” he added.
