Yep that wasnt the first or last time, showing WWE never learns anything from their mistakes. Unfortunately for everyone, the difference here is that not only is Roman handcuffed by the WWE's awful writing and self-imposed limitations that factor into promos, but worse- he doesnt have any of the wit, charisma, sense of humor, improv skills, swagger or natural speaking ability that his
cousin friend Dwayne had to save himself and the WWE from their awful plans.
Rock was Rocky Maivia. Peter was his grandfather.
