WAYNE ROONEY 2 GANGSTA FA NICKELBACK
10.23.07
Star Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has turned down the opportunity to appear alongside such luminaries as ZZ Top, Kid Rock, Nelly Furtado, and Gene Simmons in the video for "Rock Star" by Nickelback.
"They wanted superstars from sport in the video too and as Ryan in the band supports Man U they approached Wayne to appear." Apparently Rooney turned it down as "he only listens to hip-hop and thought it would be bad for his street cred", according to the source.
I checked my 2007 edition of Street Cred for Dummies, and there isn't really something you can do where hanging out with Nickelback actually improves your street cred. You could wear a dress and sing the soundtrack to Cats with Barbara Streisand, and hanging with Nickelback would still hurt your street cred. Hell, you could play professional soccer and — oh.

You know what helps your street cred? A "First!"
The guy makes somewhere around $10 mil a year and he's worried about his street cred? What, the hookers won't swallow unless you can represent?
AI – Threw naked wife out of house, threatens her with a gun – Street cred
Rooney – Did it with a 55 year old hooker – zero street cred.
Nickelback would be a step up for this wanker.
Who knew soccer players had street cred ?
Soccer and gangsta? Wayne Rooney and gangsta? Now if your name was JOHN WAYNE, and you were a Bull rider, or, shit, even better, a rodeo clown! play on Playah….An all dat shizel, mutha fukah! Shhhhhhiiiiiit…
Is it possible that Wayne Brady is more gangsta than Wayne Brady. Seriously, is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch ?
Yeah… good post matt… FFFFACE professional soccer players.
You're from England and you want Street Cred?
Step One: Leave England
Step Two: Let's make sure you got step one right.
MC Miker G and DJ Sven can suck my balls. Light opera is where it's at. Rodgers and Hammerstein rock da motherfuckin' house.
Seriously, 289, we're gonna have to get you a trophy or a medal or some shit, because that is out-fucking-standing.
Then again, maybe I've just wanted to see a decapitated Nickelback frontman for a long, long time.
wwsm – it worked for Beckham.
LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH.
Big deal. Warrant wants me to be one of the judges at their "Cherry Pie Chick Look-a-Like Contest" at their concert* in Minneapolis this weekend.
*the contest and the concert are real – me going to said show and judging the contest are not.
someone digging up the pictures of this tool in doc martens and face painted like The Crow, which is a phase fag posers like this always go through, would have him begging to be in a nickelback video… hell, maybe even a brokeback video.
I'd prefer money. Or precious metals that I can sell for money.
I can go to work sites and strip out some copper for you, "The Wire"-style.
Can street cred be measured? Who are the judges? Homeless people? Rooney once paid £150,000 at a charity auction to hang out in New York with that P Diddy? fella for a weekend. I'd rather hang out with Biggie and/or Tupac. They're the dead ones, right?
Apparently, the band replaced him with Wayne Gretzky. Were Wayne Newton, Wayne Campbell, Bruce Wayne, Fountains of Wayne and all the Wayans brothers unavailable?
Ed Rooney > Mickey Rooney > Wayne Rooney > Andy Rooney
Andy Roddick, Roddy Piper, Piper Perabo
What the hell kind of hip hop do soccer players listen to??? DJ Nil-Nil? Offsidez? Vanilla Ice?
In his defense, though, Nickelback is to music what Collective Soul is to music.
What bloody street is he talking about? Coronation Street?
That said, listening to Nickelback makes me want to kill….Nickelback
@phony gwynn – Phony got a plan.

dude the guy has a point. he is from liverpool, the detroit of england. if a chap is not strapped there hes liable to get a good booting up his arse!
by the way this scouse bastard just scored against dynamo kiev, if you happen to care. i think he shot the goal keeper before putting the ball in the net
If there's one thing that sucks more than Nickelback, it's white people who only listen to hip-hop.
