10 Most Unusual Demands Made By Star Trek Guest Stars
1. The Rock's WWE Cross-Sponsorship With Voyager
By far, the most ridiculous guest star demands in Star Trek history came from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson during his appearance on the Voyager episode, Tsunkatse.
The Rock came on the show with one goal in mind: promoting his WWE wrestling career. This was slightly before he became the most massive celebrity in the known universe, so at the time a partnership with a popular sci-fi series was just what he needed to get more viewers on WWE, as well as kickstart his acting career. In fact, the whole episode was part of a celebration event for their network, UPN, for acquiring the rights to air WWE.
The need to include some shoehorned wrestling story starring The Rock forced the writers into creating what is ultimately one of the most uninspired episodes of Trek history, clearly serving as nothing more than an ad. While it is fun to see The Rock appearing in Voyager (as well as performing his famous eyebrow raise), it would have been nice for his character to be a little more advanced than simply The Rock with some stuff on his forehead.
