TheRock1525 05/06/20 2:00:23 PM #123:	Vince hands us these [designs]. Ill put my hand on the bible and tell you, I laughed out loud in front of everybody. It was me, [Harwood], Vince [McMahon], Bruce Prichard, and [Mark] Carano. They were all serious and started telling us why it would be a good idea. They talked about the Ucey Hot and back shaving stuff where we showed we can do more than be serious, straight-faced ass-kickers. We could show different sides and different levels of charisma, which we never got a chance to do, even though we asked a lot. We told them straight up, and I think this was when they realized we werent bluffing or trying to negotiate a higher number, we looked at them as said, Here is the deal, these are not good. But we will do this until our contracts expire. Well do whatever you want. Well give 100% and have fun with it. But when our contracts expire, were not re-signing. Theres no way were staying past June. That was Friday at SmackDown. On Wednesday, we got a phone call saying we were pulled from everything. The numbers that have been reported contract-wise, $750,000 a year or whatever, it was higher than that. It was more than that for us to do the clown, Cat in the Hat, Flava Flav stuff. We said, well do this until our contracts expire, but were not re-signing for any amount of money unless its way up there. When they first described it, it was were doing this out of spite. Tag teams dont get the respect they deserve and they have to be a comedy act to get TV time, which is true. Most tag teams who get TV time do comedy and if youre more serious, youre considered not charismatic. So its us taking the piss out of how we perceived the division being disrespected. Its not terrible when its on paper. I dont know how it would have been executed as the weeks roll on, but us doing [the comedy act] out of spite to be upset about how tag team wrestling is disrespected, I was okay with it. We could have had fun with it and probably made decent money. I dont know if theres a long shelf life or if wed be above super-low card comedy. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. <cite>TheRock1525 posted [p:938708848] in All-Purpos...
