He's either trolling or delusional. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dcf86e04.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJ_okHO8TU According to WrestleLamia, the real reason for all this is because "The Rock" would get his $30 million pay day if he gets back in the ring and has his match before the end of the year. He seemingly wants to "Rush the match" to get paid, even though he doesn't need to have the match at WrestleMania and can probably stand to wait until "Crown Jewel" or any other major PPV to have the match. Since Dwayne Johnson now has 100% OwnerShip/Control of his name-sake IP "The Rock" and doesn't have to pay WWE for usage of it, he also has significant control / voting power in TKO. That puts him in higher power than HHH at the moment. But the main issue is that $30 million pay day that's part of his contractual agreement and he's willing to screw up Wrestlemania for it.

Might not feel it today, might not feel it tomorrow, but such blatant disregard for their core audience will come back to bite them long term. The Rock isn't there for the core audience. He's there to draw everyone else. I don't think anyone gives one shit about his draw power for WWE long term either. He's probably only here because of strikes giving him a bigger gap in his schedule this year. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:978733249] in Holy shit ...

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. --- How quaint. <cite>C_Pain posted [p:978736017] in Holy shit ...

Kamen_Rider_Blade 02/08/24 8:45:09 PM #92:	I think "Cody vs Roman" will be the "Main Event" of WM Night 1 The ending will be obvious, Cody will win. Then it'll be "The Rock vs Roman" will be the "Main Event" of WM Night 2 Then "The Rock" can claim that he's in "The Main Event" of WM since it's the final match on the card. And it can be for who's going to become "the new Tribal Chief & the Head of the Family" and who sits at the "Head of the Table". That should solve all ego stroking issues and move things on. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>Kamen_Rider_Blade posted [p:978736305] in Holy shit ...

Rock coming back to "take" Cody's place to face Roman was a work to get people to get behind Cody even more and to make yall hate Rock so he can be a heel so yall can love him again. --- Don't like it?
