Has anybody else fell off as hard promo wise as the rock?

[bear27]

What fall off?
Just been the same shyt for 25 years

Great for edgy 15 yr olds


If you liked rocky after that. Arrested development like a motherfukker

Guess that could be said for all of us being wrestling fans but whip your candy ass etc
Corny as fukk as you got older



At least the biggest star of the time was telling his boss to fukk off

We can all identify still with this

Also we still don't dance son....we'll not like that

The last time I saw him being on his bag and just being The Rock was the RAW in Miami were he seemed coked out of his mind and was cutting promos on everyone backstage. His interaction with Rusev and Lana alone was


Nowadays he just sticks to the old hits to get a pop that the live crowd will always react to because they are happy as fukk about seeing him in person.

Kinda similar to Austin tbh, they need a reason to get out of the comfort zone and reach back to their actual wrestling characters and deliver quality stuff.

Rock always relied on catchphrases.....prime era Rock promos was basically jumping to catchphrase to catchphrase.

shyt was novel at the time and he had next level charisma but his promos were always crazy formulaic

shytted on Punk again

The Rock is essentially The Rolling Stones or U2 of wrestling.

Nobody cares about their new music, they just want to hear the songs from the '70s & '80s that they liked.

Rock knows this & WWE knows this.

The old Rock died when he went to Hollywood & stopped being a full-time performer.

Water is wet

Have you mfs seen a Rock appearance since 2003 no shyt, hes not cutting 99 Rock style promos. Still bigger than the company, still above everyone on the roster. Dude is having fun out there. He could sing the Russian national anthem and get a roadwarrior pop. Internet wrestling fans hate everything

Was it good or not?

Of course it was. Puters were putin

 

[Killer Instinct]

He should. He's family... but he ain't the Head of the Table

True, but not everything can be taped "Via Satellite" for Dwayne.

Cena stans really think a professional actor needs to write promo notes on his wrists?

yup he's a legacy act

 

[R=G]

No. He's a genius act. Nobody is dropping heat week after week for years like prime Rock. Not Gunther, Drew, Becky, the Rebel, Miz, Jericho, Danielson...nine of em. The guy does a pop 10 min appearance and he does a singalong promo..nyggas acting like he's supposed to drop a money promo like he did in Toronto when the crowd was smart and turned on him for a old man. No one has his reach, cadence, or style. That's why everyone is so loud about this Cody Rhodes shyt..if the Rock had fell off for real? Nobody would give two fukks. Yet they do.

 

[R=G]

The truth of the matter is that everyone and everything in WWE takes a backseat to The Rock because he’s such a huge worldwide star. If working the show in Australia is what makes the most sense for his schedule and wallet, then that’s what he’ll do. If he instead wants the spotlight of the WrestleMania main event, then WWE will give it to him. The Rock will get whatever he wants from WWE, even if that means pushing off the end of Cody Rhodes’ story to SummerSlam or some other event that’s not WrestleMania 40.

Damn...cold world

 

[CM_Burns]

Damn...cold world

Facing Roman again and losing would seriously hurt Cody, but Cody not facing Roman this yr doesn't hurt him nearly as much as the internet thinks.

Post WM-39 and the Brock storyline proved that giving him a major, credible important with a good storyline will keep him just as over for when it's time for him to win the belt.
