Road Dogg never allowed Rock to get too cocky with him

In the lead up to the match, HHH kept making all sorts of racist comments to Book only to bury him in the end.

I hate how Booker already knew about it and all that matter to him is the check clearing at the end of the day. It was horrible optics. If they where gonna have to make it racial. You're kind of fukked regardless. The belt had to go back to HHH in WWE's mind for HHH vs. Goldberg being their biggest Raw program of the year. You give Booker the big moment at Mania and lose the definite match.

WWE put themselves in a corner and they shouldn't. Yet, they had no drama for the match. Booker's background was clearly the easiest and biggest short cut to create drama. If I recall correctly, Booker gave the okay. I don't think WWE expected Booker to blow up as much as he did in XIX. His hype really went through the roof. It fukking work. Booker went into his bag with getting HHH to put out his only decent match of 2003. So, I respect Booker being a professional and busting his ass to make himself look great.

Regardless how I feel, Booker isn't invest in wins/losses/big moments and that is probably the best mindset to have about the business.. WWE should of had the common sense that this would create a black eye on their image... but they've run of eyes for the black eye's they give themselves over the last 20 years.

Brian Gerwitz talked how he wrote that bit for Rock and Rock loved it so much that he had him do it to Vince and HHH in a meeting. Gerwitz didn’t want to do it since he knew how insecure Triple H was. He did it eventually, Rock was laughing while Triple H was :dry:.

And Vince was also :laff::laff::laff:. Imagine having your boss/future father in law cosigning that.

Or stephanie his girlfriend holding in her laugh as another man degrades him
Live on tv

:mjlol:

Y’know, it’s never brought up that it took 10+ years for Trips & Steph to have the same on screen chemistry that she and The Rock (and Jericho) seemingly had from jump.

Don’t get me wrong, they still HAD chemistry. But what she and The GOAT One had was... Electrifying. :shaq::sas2:

BREH. To this day, I stg that the Steph’s having a baby storyline from ‘02 was supposed to lead to an infidelity angle with her & Jericho. :mjlol:

You can’t TELL me those two weren’t hate fukking while Trips was out injured, kayfabed or shoot.

Road dogg is the ultimate woulda/shoulda ass mfer. Like God tier I was about to ass nygga. I've never seen anyone do it so much in so little of the interviews I've seen him. Shadowboxing GOAT



Road dog was trash to brad the camdy man.
that I still feel his career was an olive branch from brad.
no longer being with the wrasslin world.
Plus road dog trash compared to rock.
simply because the rock other than his dad Rocky johnson [rip].
can lay claim to being the nicest in his family overall via skill, draw, mic, and intangibles easy.

Road Dogg was a wreck for the whole fukking period and has had his lips surgically attached for Trips' butthole since he got clean.

I'd rather how Rocky dealt with him.:hhh:

I wonder how many people Rock made mad for real with his promos. Rock used to cook dudes.

the funny thing rock wouldnt get on that wave at first..it was hhh that would always get on the mic and start with slick shyt towards him..it wasnt until wwf management gave him the green light to fire back thats when he started the verbal sonnings :heh:

Having a wrestler marry your daughter creates a serious conflict of interest. How can Vince not see that? He uses his backstage powers to bury many rising stars in PPV matches. If he had this much power in the 90s The Rock/Austin wouldn't be big stars. Think of all the big stars today that will never make it because of HHH's backstage influence. I even read somewhere that the Montreal screwjob was pitched by HHH! Breh is a legit cancer to the WWE. Vince is too coked up to see this.

honestly if HHH didnt marry stephanie his legacy would be portrayed very differently among the players in his era
