Dude...you don't know what you are talking about. You don't know what corny is. Say that stupid shyt online too much and thinks it has merit...no one was more innovative as a face on the mic than Rock...not Austin, Jericho, Cena, Eddie, Bret, Hogan, Jake, Flair, anyone. If you didn't like the content, that's you. Not everyone likes Dr Dre's The Chronic but it was untouchable. People hate on Doggy style but no album from the South has ever and will never be what it was in the mainstream. And no one murdered a coast more than Pac's All Eyes on Me. NY nyggas hate it till this very day and act like Beanie Siegel dropped some hard shyt compared to it
Face Rock in 2000 blows away everyone. Rock was corny, you keep saying that but aren't telling me who these non corny alternatives who was so cold he was getting his name chanted in a rival organization on PPV?
You cats revise history when comes to Rock, Bret, Shawn, Austin...all the time. Lol. You weren't there for that stuff. You were just babies back then. Learn to crawl before you can walk.
Dudes around here are STILL ACTING like Cripple H was as over Stephanie in 2000 Get back to reality, "breh"
Dog.
No need to get defensive my nig. Im pretty sure I know what corny is
I just said I didn't even say it was a bad thing that Rock was a corny goofy dude. I even said what he did worked and agreed that he was innovative. Im not downing him at ALL. Im sure Rock has even gone on record saying that what he did was silly and goofy. But he and millions, no pun intended, enjoyed every minute of it.
But when he was goofing off, it was silly stuff. He said of the wall things and did off the wall things. BUT, That was the point. What made it work was his swagger, his delivery, and coolness. What was also great about Rock was that he could flip the switch and bring the intensity and seriousness or do all in one with seriousness and jokes. I def know what Im talking about. nikka, I just said he is in my top dead or alive.
You said I need to list non corny alternatives but here's the thing, There really isnt any. Faces all have some sort of that shyt to them. Once again, its not a bad thing at all, its just a simple observation of what went on.
I enjoyed alot of when he did that shyt, but I also know and remember when some of his stuff wasn't so hot. Hes not god, hes not perfect. But he's damn sure one of the ALL TIME greats.
