I guess what Im asking is, when you guys talk about how the Rock is awful are you talking about the actual guy or the fictional version of himself he plays?

That's the thing about wrestling, and why it's so cool: it exists in multiple levels of reality. One could dislike Rock because of the character he is portraying, but then you could also dislike him because despite the character being portrayed as good, it ruins the story of another character you enjoyed. Beyond that, since the rock has backstage power, you could dislike him in real life. This hatred could mean you want him to get beat up, meaning the real life heat translated back into the kayfabe story.
