#TheRock #Wrestlemania #WWE
Roman being second fiddle is something that’s barely being talked about
Exactly .....the feud is Cody and rock. But I can say this is karma for burying Rollins every week
Pretty sure it's designed believe it or not, think about that one Roman Reigns and Rock segment that went over 40 minutes long on Smackdown. Look how annoyed Roman looked during that segment, he is getting pissed that Rock is getting all this attention instead of him.
@@TheChrisPhoenixsomeone who gets it
Its literally apart of the storyline
Honestly that’s kind of an issue in general this year. We’re only two weeks out from Mania, yet so many people are still on side quests
Cody feels like he’s more feuding with Rock instead of Roman.
Seth feels like he’s feuding with Rock more than Drew.
Becky feels like she’s feuding with Liv and Nia and has barely interacted with Rhea.
Bayley feels like she’s feuding with Dakota far more than Iyo.
Logan and Randy have barely interacted.
Etc.
When you bring in more viewers than the rest of the roster combined, yes he plays by different rules. If they could stand out the same way, they would get the same leeway.
The Rock needs to teach his daughter some charisma if she’s gonna stay elevated to where she is.
She seems like an airhead
From the looks of it he needs to teach the whole roster some charisma so they can get over and not cry about The Rock out doing them.
“Talk from the heart, shoot from the hip, and always try to have fun.” More wrestlers would get over if they were able to do that.
Lol that's how rock and austin got over.....these new clowns can say fxck 50 times in 1 promo and still wouldn't get over coz they have no charisma or mic skills 😂😂🤣🤣
First DC fans, then movie fans, then Disney fans, and now both wrestling fans and wrestlers are mad. The Rock is certainly doing his job of getting hated by many different fandoms
well he really became a douche since he was full time wrestler.
Next
Political fans once Rock runs for president lol
dont forget his involvement in Maui, Hawaii
Umm, you know the fans still pop for him every time, right? Since he turned heel, he has been getting even bigger reactions and is getting heaps of praise for finally giving fans the heel Rock. I don’t give a sh*t if a couple wrestlers are jealous. Why is this even a story?
@@hectic105 They pop for The Rock. Dwayne Johnson on the other hand has become a colossal douche.
Just like Austin. Rock can get away with it. Plain and simple.
It may be wishful thinking on my part but all Cody has to do to get on the Rocks level promo wise to me is address the HGH fueled elephant in the room... Imagine the Rock having to actually address how he looks nothing like he did back when he was still a full time wrestler
Can't do that. Rocks ego won't allow it
Wouldn’t matter seeing as most people don’t give a shit. Smh some of yall need to have the internet with the dial up connection
@@weloveus7994yeah who cares when they’re all on steroids, you don’t heal torn muscles and broken bones in half the time with wishes and prayers. These guys are stuntmen who work almost all year long. They need roids to recover.
He would also be shitting on a lot of the locker room if he did that
He is a clone
The Rock is big bro everyone. He is a legend. They should be thanking The Rock to make WWE hot again. After The Rock segment, the shows sucks
100 percent agree the main event was awful and pointless Rock is making smackdown watchable again after hes gone itll be plain again garbage
All Cody has to do is mention The Rock's begging with Oprah moment. When literally the whole internet laughed in their faces!
Honestly there's so much ammo to use against Rock, but he's ego is fragile as shit. He had a hissy fit when Cena did the promo on wrist thing.
The problem with the iwc is they think the Johnny gargano and Daniel Bryan type are better than The Rock 😅
Right
AJ Styles is on that level and can run laps around injury-prone Dwayne.
@@eastwaters4082 lol whatever you say
The problem with giving certain guys passes is that it makes it harder for other guys to get over who can't do the same things. Part timers already have a major advantage when it comes to booking since they're barely around and they tend to be utilized well when they are around. Fans don't have time to get bored of them and their appearances feel special, reinforcing why they get special privileges. This isn't like perks in the back, this literally is one of the reasons why new stars have a harder time getting over to the same level as the older stars.
The only thing Cena did better than Rock was breaking character except the one time Rock did that shoot promo and buried tf out of Cena. Cody can cuss all he wants but he'll never come close to touching The Rock on that microphone.
So as solo said it was a fair fight between rock and cena stop being so grumpy about cena his not there at this moment leave him out of it clown
Rock's Generation operates by the rule: its always better to ask forgiveness than ask permission.
Maybe today's stars should do the same.
Sounds like the " talent " can't understand true greatness when they see it
Cena didn't outclass The Rock, except for the "promo notes on the wrist" I'll give him that one, but other than that Cena just kept reiterating the same old "I'm here every week and you're not" argument to use against Rock. Rock tore his ass apart, especially on a RUclips video posted by Rock in July 2011, that was edited on RAW to not make Cena look bad. Watch that one, Cena got absolutely massacred.
Cena did outclass him u just hate cena simple as that and don’t give him any respect so leave cena out of this since his not there on wwe at this moment clown !
going fourth wall isn’t outclassing someone. you’re too generous to cena.
@@simenzewedlamini360lmfao
@@LucrativeLessonsWithLandy The Rock pulling out all his catchphrases isn't outclassing anyone either. Cena won all their promo battles, this isn't even a debate.
@@One.Zero.One101 rock’s fb promo had way more than catch phrases. and they were structured exchanges anyways. don’t @ me, you know nothing.
I bet the ones whining about Rock promos are the ones you wouldn't want near a mic.
100% lol
honestly aside from Roman, i look at the guys in WWE and i'm not impressed by a single one of them. I like Becky Lynch and Rhea but none of them are close to the superstar level that Rock was at his peak
Lol. You're probably right. I can think of a number of ways to diss Rock with having to use profanity or "Cheap shots".
new fans wouldn't understand that to them they are megastars Becky is awful on the mic Rhea has potiential definitely has improved shes no draw and Punk is so overrated Roman just sucks @@skippythealien9627
100% true.
Did the hypocrites backstage also complain about Cena having more freedom on the mic than the rest of the roster? Or Steve Austin showing the middle finger while they can’t? Why do those guys get a pass but Rock doesn’t? Jealousy maybe?
Rock gets so much jealousy and backstage heat over it which is stupid. you'd think these mental midgets would just work harder or focus on how to become great instead of whining and crying like babies
maybe if they stopped getting all emotional and pissy...they could come close to an 1/8th of what guys like Rock, Cena, and Bautista accomplished outside of wwe
Cena in his later years had more freedom but he still let others have their moments to look credible. He’s been doing the job since he went to Hollywood.
Or Reigns being allowed to talk about sex positions. Becky being allowed to use 1 of the ultimate sin words as a nickname (Belts). Rollins being allowed to openly talk about having to be held back from attacking VKM after the Fiend match.
Cody is a bore. Rock elevating him speaks volumes.
Rock cookin and people crying
Like he said “Shut the fuck up”
But why does Cody have to be a phony copycat Cena kissing babies in the damn first place?
That's what made the product so unwatchable until the mid90s bc all the faces were unlikeable sesame street characters with no spine.
His over still and that’s what baby face do u clown or don’t watch them at all or this product in general
Conservation ends at "Rock is on the board of directors".
He's absolutely in a special tier that gets to do what he wants.
Get over it. Guys like him get special treatment. If Stone Cold Steve Austin was out there giving the middle finger to the crowd, the company would rightfully look the other way. Dom Mysterio isnt in the same league or atmosphere as Austin and Rock. Deal with it.
It was Dom mysterio who complained???? I doubt it cause Dom gets heat from just walking out in front of fans.
stone cold steve austin isn't an egotociscal, boring prick who left wrestling to go do movies and only comes back for a paycheck. austin is great and always did the profanity thing - that wasn't Rock's schtick lol. really stupid comparison that doesn't hit the mark.
That's not the point. The point is....no one is getting over but rock. Wrestlemania is essentially all about him.
That's why I don't watch and I get my info here. I'll wait until after he's gone back to Hollywood to make more flops for the playfield to level out.
@@madddoggnogood1491he’s selling the show and when Cody gets that win he’s riding off into the sunset, what’s the problem here? WWE was damn near in hot water with this Vince, Lesnar situation and Rock is damage control. And the fact that he has so many eyes on the product now because of him is a clear reason why he’s the perfect damage control and also - who’s a bigger star than him within WWE? I’ll wait. He’s given The Finish The Story storyline a much needed shelf life because we can’t do Cody crying 2 years in a row and Roman saying acknowledge me and you’re not on my level for 2 straight years either. Rock’s character is no different than when he did Hollywood Rock for 2-3 months and then disappeared after putting talent over. It’s no different here. Y’all are complaining, but be grateful you literally have the most over entertainer on the globe willing to even lend his star power to a company that has ungrateful fans. He’s been packing shows and boosting ratings when he didn’t even have to. If he wanted to make things about himself, he literally has bigger outlets/platforms to do that on since he’s a massive star.
They're frustrated cuz he's makin em look like fools cuz he's miles ahead of them all on the mic.
it's almost as if when you're a huge star you get to do stuff that others don't...
Wwe needs huge stars that will be here now and in three months. Not people that come a destroy two years of booking. And then go off to make a movie.
@@danielatkinson4507destroy two years of booking?? are you fucking kidding me?
do you have any idea how much revenue is going to be generated from this year's Wrestlemania? I can assure you it will be far more than what they made last year
the whole point of this is to draw heat so that people are going to buy tickets because they want to see Rock and Roman get their asses kicked. If Rock wasn't involved, no one except the big time WWE fan would be watching Wrestlemania this year
@@skippythealien9627they made money without Rocky this year because it was hot
@@stevenbryant8160 i guarantee you they will make way more money now than they would have if Rock was not involved
this reminds me of all the people who whined and cried about that one guy in UFC who talked about MAGA and how much he loved Trump. He was obviously trying to rile up people to buy tickets and they did lmao
that's the whole point. it's all about making money at the end of the day. They are building up this feud to the point where even non-wrestling fans are curious
@@skippythealien9627Fast money brings slow problems.
On one hand I get the frustration of feeling handcuffed but on the other hand you shouldn't need to curse to cut good promos. In the old NWA days guys like Flair and Dusty routinely cut great promos without swearing. If I recall correctly Cena beat the Rock on the mic without swearing much. Punk even once called the Rock out for relying on profanity. If you're a good promo you should be able to get it done without having a pottymouth.
It might be more than profanity tbh. Cody is a pretty savage promo in his own right but he might be handcuffed by WWE’s restrictions. Cena “destroyed” Rock because he had NO restrictions; he was a big star that could say what he wanted. I’ve got a feeling it’s more than profanity.
@@delraycoles6145Cena never destroyed The Rock he just constantly broke character then cried because Rock made fun of his T-shirts
Maybe not destroy but Cena did stand toe to toe. Reality is Cody isn't that level of promo. @@TheDarkhorsePurge
I think it’s less the swearing itself and more that they’re handcuffed by WWE’s restrictions in general
Whereas guys like Rock (and Cena for that matter) can say whatever they want.
It makes it even HARDER for other talent to respond to them.
I honestly rather see Steve Austin back on a weekly basis as him or something and bring Vince McMahon back. You have to seek the experience off some wrestlers sell others don't. WWE has been stale since wm20 I love cmpunk he cuts great promos but he is not a great fighter Dana white said that. Paul heymen is awesome but Romain reigns completely sucks as a talent. Idk watching WWF since 1985 I know a bit.
I can understand the whole thing about this being the Rock and him not playing by the rules, I get it
However, I think that some of the top stars like Cody should at least be given a little more ammo On their promos cause come on, it's your top stars That are here to stay. Plus I doubt the rock is gonna stick around for much longer. After wrestlemania, before he goes back to hollywood 🤷🏾♂️
I don't even see him staying on the board once he gets his match with Roman, I don't see a reason for him to stay
Thats why I wish Punk hadn't gotten hurt. He wouldn't let that stop him from saying what he wants on a promo cuz be legit doesn't give a fuck. Cody shouldn't either. If they fire him they have to pay him his contract which was a big one so grow some balls man talk your shit.
The Rock is charismatic but honestly he's a bit overrated on the mic. He's always been at his best on the mic when picking on stooges and jobbers like Coachman back in the day. He can't hang on the mic with a John Cena or CM Punk if the playing field was level.
A megastar getting special treatment from management?? 🤯 Who would have ever thought it possible, this is truly an earth shattering day for mankind. Rocks also on the damn board of the company of course he’s gonna get away with shit other talent won’t, why is this a surprise to them?
so that makes it ok? people get murdered, so are you not allowed to have an issue when your parents get murdered because 'it's happened before?'? ridiculous cope, my man.
the point is that it SHOULDN'T be happening, not that it's happened in the past so let's ignore it. just really stupid train of thought buddy.
@@h445you’re comparing promos to murder, 😂😂😂😂 good lord man shut up.
@@h445 I agree. Problem is no one wants to see the point because they like it and like who's doing it but let it be someone they don't like then it's a problem. Double standards at it's finest.
@@h445get over it he’s more talented
@@h445by that logic everyone should be paid the same
Isn't Rock gone after WrestleMania?
Yep.
Indeed. Good job WWE for making the roster look like unwatchable chumps.
exactly rest of the show was unwatchable La Knight is just trying to be like the Rock @@eastwaters4082
@@eastwaters4082they do that all by themselves every week
@@nickisactor That doesn’t help the current guys. What’s your solution considering when you go off script, you get fined/suspended?
The Rock says eat a damm roll
Talent need to take notes because none of them are not even 1% over has the Rock
A lot of this is also just what WWE and pro wrestling in general has been doing for years now. They make the heels look smart, cool and strong while the faces look stupid and weak. It is no wonder heels get louder cheers.
If this continues, the faces will lose or worst become jobbers.
@@maroon9273 It is also a reflection of society. In the real world the worst people do the dirtiest things to innocent people and reap the rewards while having no consequences. Then these people are then praised in the media for being geniuses and great people.
Solo monster come on now we know Seth and Cody can’t keep up with him on his worst day
Im not shocked talent is pissed. How is anyone else going to get their programs over if they get handcuffed by time cuts cause 40+ minute Bloodline segments over ran and they have guys swearing while everyone else is told not to do this. I think the only reason we dont hear more stories about people being upset is because 1.) they dont want to talk bad about Triple H and 2.) Cause business so hott they feel like they'd come off as whinny if they complained.
The rock is the reason why WWE is popping again… if anyone deserves a title shot again it’s LA knight not Cody bum rhodes
All Cody has to do is show escalating frustration. First Rock talks about his father, then his dog, now his momma. Cody just has make it plain and simple. The jokes are over, the talking is over. At WM I'm kicking your ass, and Roman is going to get his too. Point, blank, period.
Reminds me of whenever Cena comes back. It’s already hard enough for many to keep up with Cena on the mic. But when he gets to just say pretty much whatever he wants, whereas everyone else is handcuffed by WWE’s rules. You give them almost NO chance to look good there.
You need to at least let Cody and Seth clap back properly.
let's be honest, Cody and Seth have no way to "clap back" on the mic against The Rock lol
the only way to vindicate this is to win the matches at Wrestlemania. Bottom line
@@skippythealien9627there's plenty of ammunition to fire back at him with
Nope there legit poor mediocre talents
@@ZombieaidZ such as what, they are no where near cena on the mic, whats the best they can say black adam flopped and you do steriords.
💯💯exactly
From a wrestling fan. AEW & TNA are looking real good right now. WWE RAW & Smackdown have become talk shows. The wrestling has become secondary, and an after thought. You need WWE stars to promote Wrestlemania? We don't have them anymore. But the diluted WWE fans don't care. I only watch WWE, when I don't have to pay extra for it. I know after I watch WWE, I will be disappointed.
TNA is good AEW is not good right now Tony’s booking has been bad too many stop start stories and inconsistencies. I like the wrestlemania match card. The only thing that I’m complaining about is the fact that Roman has become afterthought in his own main event. But then again, that might be a part of the plan.
Nobody cares about fake fighting THAT much. This delusional niche idea that the most important thing in wrestling is the in-ring action is ridiculous. The most over wrestlers in history were never workhorses. Bret Hart is a flop compared Austin,Rock,Hogan,
same here only watch certain things on WWE cant watch 3 hours of Raw there like talk shows more than wrestling shows why I watch AEW more for the action sometimes TNA too WWE fans think they can do no wrong I get that you be disappointed
@@blacknetsmed your wrong and Bret Hart is no flop wrestling is or should be about in ring action it is wrestling after all not a reality show characters and stories is just a part of it imagine watching with no matches at all get real
As my father taught me: if you want to have leverage, bring something unique to the table that others can't match so you will get away with everything since they can't replace you even if they wanted to. Crybabies need to step up or shut the hell up
The Rock is the biggest star in the world, right now he is carrying wrestling right now. Nobody cares about wrestling anymore, that's why the ratings are trash. Wrestling hasn't mattered for years, it's predictable and everyone knows everything, The Rock is the reason hardcore fans are coming back for a bit. Be happy people are talking about wrestle because when he leaves, WWE is going about to being an afterthought. It's not his fault WWE can't make a mega star anymore, the fact that he is making wrestling relevant for a bit tells you something. I stopped watching wrestling years ago for a reason, I still don't watch it but following the Rocks promo's makes me miss how good WWE was. The Rock is the best thing they got and a bunch of these ungrateful fans need to realize that. Enjoy the extra ratings boast because this will not last forever. It's so sad that this company needs the Rock and other celebrities' to stay relevant instead of making new mega stars who could be an attraction, I miss the glory years of wrestling.
💯💯💯💯
I love Cody but can u really imagine Stone Cold crying 😂
I hope Cody shows up Monday and raises some hell
Cena didn’t outclass the rock. And AEW wrestlers curse all the time. I don’t see any megastars in that company either. Just stop the excuses.
I don't know, Cody Rhodes was cussing his brains out for AEW.
But that was before he became Cody Cena with a perma-smile.
Just waiting on those $20 hustle loyalty respect dish rags and he'll be set with the 12&under demo
I get its the Rock, but they could have people who are able to get over to the same level as the Rock or are as talented as the Rock but they can't achieve even a sliver of the success Rock has had because no matter how much WWE builds them up they will always be held back by the over sanitized rules of WWE. Even if they were to leave, the only other major wrestling promotion is run by a billionaire with what is likely a cocaine addiction. I certainly understand their frustrations if the rumors are true and I'll never understand people just giving a pass to the Rock because he's the Rock. If the Rock can't follow the same rules as everyone to get over then its obvious the rules are what is holding back everything. This is like when boomers tell the younger generation to stop being lazy. Like look here you old Fck. Our generation on average is already working multiple jobs and more than 40 hours a week and we still statistically have a much of a chance of owning a house as that 3 year old Chinese kid making Nike shoes for 25 cents an hour. (sorry for the rant but apathy is seems be running wild brother. Anytime someone complains they're told why THEY are the problem.)
"To same level as the Rock" BREAKING NEWS: Pro Wrestling in 2024 is not that popular anymore & never will be in this Internet+Social Media Era. Entertainment content is too voluminous, wrestling talent are too omnipresent & visible.
I'm a fan of the indie scene as well as WWE. No one is on the Rock's level in terms of his charisma for his OWN character. That said I don't think other Superstars are bad promo cutters at all, I think everyone needs to be their own character and I do agree you need less scripted segments, but to argue that those are the main reasons people don't get over, I disagree and agree at the same time.
A shitty promo that's designed to make people look like idiots that aren't for comedy can be very off-putting. But a promo that is clearly trying to build a story more so than getting down to being about insults it 10 times more compelling. Like Cody doesn't need to say jack shit to Rock or Roman, he simply needs to say "I have earned this, you don't get to pretend I don't, I'm taking that title cause I'm gonna beat you and finish my story" And add more things about why it means so much to him to do it.
At the end of the day it comes down to how effective a character is, not how many insults someone gets in, cause fuck me if insults are the only thing that gets you over then everyone would come off like assholes, rather than as cool. Like Rock and Austin got over with their insults, but they carried those into the factor they were trying to overcome extreme odds that you couldn't help but root for them.
Also yer I hate it when people don't give empathy to the housing crisis stuff, boomer or not people need to just be empathetical to how you can solve things instead of putting people in boxes just cause they don't like a person's tone, there's always more to people than meets the eye.
None of those guys are going to be on Rock's level even if you were to give them more freedom. You either have it or you don't. The roster does not have it & it shows.
Is that what the locker room thinks??
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE LOCKER ROOM THINKS!!
But seriously... Trust me, people are gonna be wishing The Rock is still around when he leaves after Mania.... and the boring Cody era starts.
Gonna be honest if that’s what they’re whining about tough shit.
It’s about the fans at the end of the day and the fans seem happy with the Rock’s promos
Oh well. Be as great as the Rock, Austin, Flair and a few other's, plain and simple.
Cody: The man in black sent me
This just shows how mediocre wwe has been for the past many years...the rock just comes in and completely overshadows and owns the roster full of jabronees of today...
Especially when his opponents are a guy who wears his wife's clothes and couldn't cut a promo to save his life and the other guy is literally crying on TV. 😂😂
Well Smackdown is the Rock show since the beginning
"Hollywood Rock", heel Rock, not really sure what the difference is and why people delineate by saying "Hollywood" but whatever. Cody crying was the lamest thing of all time. This is how WWE wants to portray their faces. smh After all these years, they still don't get it.
The Rated G superstar Cody
A guy that's as huge a star as the Rock is going to get a lot of leeway. Mostly because he doesn't really need to be there so you can't really punish him for minor stuff like swearing.
the point is that people thinking it's normal for someone in position of power to do what they want, rules or no, IS THE PROBLEM. are you too stupid to see that or what?
don't bother answering, i already know.
Rock didn’t sign over his social media to WWE like they did so he doesn’t have to play by WWE’s rules. It’s that simple!
So u mean to tell me that Rock..who alot of us can agree is not at his best promo game like before..and yet at this level..the talent is frustrated at his work...aww hell naaa the talent is hopeless

@@h445 what

WWE Talent: Why does The Rock get to curse?
The Rock: So let me get this straight. You have a problem with The Rock's choice of words and think The Rock should tone it down, is that what you think?
WWE Talent: Well, ye--
The Rock: --IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU F****NG THINK!
One of the people in a Main Event cutting promos in the buildup to said match 😱😱😱😱
Why would we want the Rock to be restricted he's not like the other wrestlers he's a Legend
Cody did get of a "this is bullshit!" (which was censored) when he first appeared at the WM 40 event in Vegas.
Otherwise, it's super one-sided.
As for the roster... whaaaat? Stars get more leeway?!? Someone alert the press! (/s)
Man please, Rock making it Fun again!! Keep doing your thing!!
Lol I'm sorry but Cody or Seth being able to curse wont save them from getting cooked lol.
Because it's the rock! If everyone curses then its pointless.
I honestly hate this build up. The Rock didn't step aside when Cody vs Roman was restored as the main event, he accepted the decision, but he's still making everything about himself. And I have the feeling, just like his movies, that not Cody nor Seth nor everybody else is allowed to go hard at The Rock or at least not as much as they want to. That The Rock is just not allowed to look too bad. Sure Cena had that chance, but Rock was not on the board back then. If the situation was the same, Cody or Seth would have already thrown the DC debacle thing or the Vin Diesel stuff at Rock. They would have talked about his ego in the details. But Rock wants to look like a justified villain, not a real one. And by doing so, he's ruining the other people involved in the feud. After WrestleMania Rock is gone. Seth and Cody stay. Roman is likely gone however this ends. Rock overshadowing everybody else doesn't do anybody any good. He might very well be the new Vince McMahon when it comes to short sighted decision making in WWE.
I havent watched wrestling in 18 years!! Ive seen every promo and go on reddit to see how ppl react. Wrestling fans dont appreciate this guy enough.
WWE Talent: We think the Rock is being too mean 😭
The Rock: It doesn't matter what you think of The Rock being mean you damn Jabronies!!! 😂
That's not what's bothering them, it's that he can do what and say what he wants while the talent are told not to

@@skippythealien9627
I'm not saying they could
But you gotta give them a fighting chance
You can easily cut Rock apart without cursing. The guy is an insane egomaniac who's been getting called out by tons of people on social media for his actions. He just recently filmed himself going to In and Out burger and kept rolling down his window to reveal it was him to the person at the window. He than said how good the food was and took a picture of it (without ever eating it on camera) and bragged about the tip he left. He's a got a little writer who's been writing all his material for years. The guy never takes a controversial take because he's so piss your pants afraid of offending anyone and he's constantly hocking his products. Remember when the Miz mocked Cena with all those skits years ago. Rock has plenty to work with. You can make him look like a total insecure tool if you wanted to. Granted if you filmed something like that on social media he'd probably want you fired.
OMG....yes he is on the Board of directors of the company that OWNS the WWE....HE IS THEIR BOSS!!!! That isn't just storyline. That's what being on the board means. Now, obviously he isn't the only one, so it's not like he can make unilateral decisions, but not one person in the WWE can tell Rock what to do. As for his ego, yeah, there is no way he'd let anyone go at him with all his recent utter failure of a movie career...everything he does flops now. People don't like Dwayne Johnson.
The Rock having an ego? Say it ain't so!
Look I like the rock, always have but since he is a big star in Hollywood his ego got a little bit too inflated.
If Stone Cold Steve Austin was in Rocks place nobody would be saying a thing. They're just mad because The Rock is too good. He's single handling selling Wrestlemaia by himself.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins have all of Raw to whatever they want. Bottom Line is that they are not and never was on The Rock level. CM Punk and Cena could hang with The Rock nobody was complaining back then. People are just making excuses because The Rock is too good at what he does and Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins cant keep up.
Austin wouldn’t be hogging the spotlight like Rocky is, doesn’t fit his character and he’s not an egomaniac.
@@eastwaters4082 Ironic considering Austin was a bigger backstage politician than Rock ever was back when they were both in their primes.
@@evolvedcockroach9046 Austin didn’t want to do things if the payoff led nowhere for both parties. Key example is him booked to job to Lesnar on TV with no buildup. Rock doesn’t mind taking the glory then dipping with it (beating Punk’s reign just to go back to Hollywood).
@@eastwaters4082 Punk’s reign ended because WWE wanted to do Cena Vs Rock 2 with the title to add more “stakes” compared to their previous match so Cena can get his win back, there’s no way the second match wasn’t always planned. It’s not like Rock went out of his way to end Punk’s reign, Punk was just unlucky to be stuck between two bigger stars.
I think recency bias has made fans rewrite history regarding Rock, he was never known as an egotistical backstage politician during his run as the top guy (which was when he needed to be a diva and play backstage politics the most). He lost a lot, way more than he should have, and rarely refused to put someone over. He never had superman booking like Cena, Hogan, and Austin. Just look at his run in 2000 which was his peak year: didn't get a proper blowoff win against Triple H who was his biggest rival (It was Vince Mcmahon who took the pinfall lol), lost clean on free tv against Undertaker while being WWF Champion, lost the title to a rookie Kurt Angle, ate the pin in the 6-man hell in a cell at Armageddon out of all the wrestlers and on top of that, didn't get his crowning moment at Wrestlemania 2000, he’s the only top face in the history of the company to never win the title at Wrestlemania (people actually threw trash in the ring when Triple H won), he also lost 3 back to back Wrestlemanias. He even got pinned by Stephanie McMahon at one point lol there’s no way Cena, Hogan, and Austin or any other top face would accept to do that during their peak years (and rightfully so). The fact that Rock was still the most over guy in the company despite his weak booking is actually impressive. He also put over Angle, Jericho, Lesnar, Goldberg, Benoit (tapped/passed out to him on an episode of Smackdown), Booker T, and even the Hurricane who’s a lower-card comedy gimmick.
This is only my theory but I think the reason why Rock got involved with the current storyline is that after Lesnar and Punk suddenly out of action after the rumble, WWE/TKO felt they needed a bigger name for Wrestlemania season which was why they called The Rock in. It also helps that fans were begging Rock to face Roman for years and the crowd popped when Rock hinted that he will face Roman, so they decided to go along with it. The problem is that the way it was executed was just bad.
I do think its kinda ridiculous that the Rock basically came in and made the entire thing about himself. It feels like Cena vs Miz all over again, and that should never happen.
The rock is just being himself it’s not his fault he just levels above everyone else involved,
In this case Rock making it about himself works for the story they're telling. No matter which direction they go.
Oh yes because you definitely need The Rock to overshadow someone like The Miz lol Miz was never that good. Rock was the main reason why people tuned in to see WM27 along with Taker’s streak.
thats what a heel does. My god wrestling fans today are annoying.
@@travisfulgum9731 yeah seriously the talent need to grow up and get a thicker skin
the reason why The Rock is not playing by the same rules is because he's earned the right to do that. none of these other stars...although they're great in their own ways...have earned that right yet
If they are frustrated learn to cut promos
Cody vs Roman should be the focus, but Rock is making it seem like its Rock vs Cody as the main event at Mania.
This is why the WWE is a joke. It’s for kids, that shits not cool.
their fans act like kids for sure see what you mean miss old WWE
Golden Era WWE was even more PG than today.
you gotta be kidding @@cjaquilino
What are they gonna do? Fire him? The rules only apply if the consequences and be enforced. It's not a double standard if the roles are all equal and they aren't. Cody can't go out there doing and saying things he won't be able to do or say long term against anyone else
Just let Cody mention Soulman having at least 2 kids in every town he ever wrestled in. That samoan family tree should've been a whole forest.
The Rock is just better Becky Lynch cursed, Drew McIntyre cursed page cursed Mick Foley cursed all during the PG era Didn't make them drop monster promos
Just listened to some of your the Dark side of the ring, just a fantastic series.
If I was involved in the program or even just a talent on the roster in general I'd be a bit ticked too with the recent developments with Rock's involvement on TV. Not exactly for outshining everyone although I'm sure that hasn't made many happy. There's also frustration for the fact Roman & Seth have basically had very little to do with the program. Not sure if you heard anywhere but an issue with Rock's promos aside from the double standard is that most of his promos went over long that matches & segments had to be cut short. Basically missing his cues to end it when he needed to. I could understand especially on SD since it's a 2 hour show but only about 90-100 minutes air on TV.
All Cody has to say is “Black Adam” and The Rock gets owned by
Yeah, perhaps he could say something like "You came crawling back to the one place. You know, everyone will kiss your ass because Black Adam sucked"
Cody cried. Enough said.
Cody the #1 crybaby
He should have brought up the tooth fairy last week when roman called seth a cross dresser lmao
Or Toothfairy
When you look at WWE as a business, The Rock is several grades higher than every active wrestler so of course he gets additional privileges. It's hardly different from how an area manager can have more freedom than than the floor staff.
Having said that, The Rock's promos definitely eat up more time than they should. Especially the entrances.
They should’ve just did Rock versus Roman last yr at Mania, for the head of the table. So they could focus on Cody’s story this yr. But that would’ve made too much sense
Does the Dwayne still write cliff notes on his hands? What a goof.
All I've been seeing is "its the rock he can do whatever he wants" I don't care who he is he doesn't get a pass especially if its rubbing the talent the wrong way. Either let others do it or tell the rock to chill, he doesn't own the place. Its definitely a ego thing.this is the same man who wont allow a character he's playing in a movie lose a fight and who comes into a franchise he wasnt around for most of trying to dictate things
He works with tko if anything it’s his company now 😉
Are you 12?
Welcome to the adult world, where some people get treated differently than others. It's the entertainment industry, that's how things work, don't like it? You're in the wrong business.
@@bipolarminddroppings the point is that people thinking it's normal for someone in position of power to do what they want, rules or no, IS THE PROBLEM. are you too stupid to see that or what?
don't bother answering, i already know.
You keep them PG handcuffs on little boys! The Final Boss IS... Your boss.
This is no different from when they gave part timers a pass on drug testing, some people are always gonna get special treatment.
so that makes it ok? people get murdered, so are you not allowed to have an issue when your parents get murdered because 'it's happened before?'? ridiculous cope, my man.
the point is that it SHOULDN'T be happening, not that it's happened in the past so let's ignore it. just really stupid train of thought buddy.
@@h445what?? It’s a fake scripted show. Rock is there to sell tickets. He’s obviously helping in that. It’s not that serious. He will be gone soon enough and it’ll be back to normal. He’s one of the biggest stars ever in the industry. Sorry, he will get special treatment. It’s the way it is.
@@h445 bro, don't you think you are taking it just a little too far with that analogy?
So many people giving him or part timers a pass, then wondering why new stars can’t be built up and become greater. Had a guy like LA Knight take over Smackdown last year now be rendered to midcard with no acknowledgment. Seth the workhorse despite his outfits, becomes a laughingstock to where his belt is blatantly told it’s a consolation prize because we don’t want to drop Roman’s is crazy.
I feel like CM Punk also somewhat gets that leeway too in his promos too
The answer for Cody is there: go out on Raw tonight and say two words "Black Adam"
At this point I want to see Dwayne Johnson vs The Rock to main event
Cody could also go full super Saiyan and whip the shit out of rock, and then win at mania.
For the millionth time…The “crib notes” on The Rock’s arm during the Cena feud WAS A WORK!!!!!
Never before or since did The Rock have notes on his arm for his promos. They did it there to give Cena a handicap to get a shot in on The Rock!
FFS, it amazes me how many things today fans call a work, even within this current storyline, and STILL, some of those same fans think Rock legit needed “notes” on his arm and that Cena was shooting and legit pissed off The Rock.
The levels of cognitive dissonance on that are off the fuckin’ charts!
Pull your heads out of your asses, that was worked in so Cena could get a shot in on The Rock who was smoking him on the mic. Period.
My man
The rock gets a bigger crowd reaction than all current WWE Superstars combined. Quit hating lol
Hilarious.
Don’t worry about the cursing rules. Focus on the Wellness Program! Give Dwayne a ped test 😂.
Rock has marginalized what are supposed to be the WWE's 3 biggest stars ahead of what is the biggest show in the company's history
These people crying are mad that they can’t do good promos and act like a bit of profanity would make them stars.
Guys…….
THEY ARE ALL WORKING US!
Cody, Rhodes and Seth Rollins are more concerned of playing video games with their friends then actually promoting wrestlemania 40* . ..1
The Rock is best for business and is the main reason WrestleManiaXL is entertaining
I don't feel like The Rock is helping get Cody or Roman over, I feel like he is just getting himself over and actually taking away from Cody and Roman. He is chumping them both out.
He definitely is. Its hilarious
