I listened to it the other day, and man I don't blame him. They were working him like an circus animal with no regard for his health or safety. He could have seriously been afflicted after that staph infection or even die. And all they cared about was.. uh.. so how ya feeling champ, can you make to the next date? Oh you can't.. well we sort of already booked it so can you uh.. work with us here. He could have died. Just driving that point home. Its just crazy and it makes the medical staff look really bad. They were pumping this dude up with so much medication for ailments that wasn't even applicable that caused him to literally shyt himself and be unable to sleep for who knows how long.
The other thing that caught my attention in the interview was how they love to not only steal peoples' ideas but much more importantly how they like to clip the wings of those that are able to get traction with the fans as either a heel or face. Its pretty dam hard to acquire a connection with people like that and they consistently rob their employees of it due to spite or just the desire to fukk with them. But its like he said in the interview, most are trick themselves into believing that they should be happy to work there because it was their dream as kids so quit your bytching. He explained more so, just go listen to it.
But anyways, I think it goes back to something with the Rock. He got so big that he left the WWE to make his own money and not be tethered to (for lack of a better word) leeches that want to mandate how he should run his career and what their entitled to. They don't want another guy to become bigger than the company because that somehow means a lost in money/revenue for them; might as well include ego in there on some "who do you think you are, I made you, you're nothing without us!" tip.
