Hollywood Rock had his moments.

Like the Toronto promo. That via satellite ether he layed on Hogan

Just wasn't consistent.

that wasn't even fair.

was always a huge fan of rock but in retrospect i think creative gave him too much freedom in his promos. it's one thing to put your opponent on blast but it's another thing to just completely no sell their gimmick and make light of their entire persona. he did it to undertaker, big show... and in this case hogan. just completely undressed them and made it impossible for anyone to take them seriously.

hogan looked like a deer in the headlights and had absolutely no idea how to come back at him.

I was watching the segment with Trish and Jeff Hardy..and i was thinking of creating a thread but why not ask it here?
Do u think heel Trish with Hollywood Rocky would of been a good add on? She turned heel less than a year later at WM XX but they always had great chemistry..if things were tweaked historically and she helped him him fukk over Hogan at NWO 03 and was his valet against Austin and Goldberg, would it have felt RIGHT? The Rock was way too big for managers but since he went heel and changed everything(his hair, another tat, reluctance), could she had been a good piece to his change up?

heel Trish was great in her role, I don't think they needed each tho. plus she was a wrestler and the women's champ. making her a valet for someone else would have lessened her a bit i think. unless maybe they started their own heel crew with a couple people beneath them

Hollywood Rock had some many entertaining moments in such a short time span (3 months). I think my favorite stuff is the random shyt you catch him doing after you watch the promo or segment a second time. man I was trying too find a couple segments but youtube aint what it used to be a few years ago when it comes to wrestling videos. :martin:

So you thought her turning heel with Christian took away from her role since she was wrestling at the time? I didn't mean like her being nothing but a valet..she still do her shyt every week but just dressing up the most charismatic wrestler in history..who knows.

I said it before, but if the Rock has one more run in him he definitely needs to bring back the Hollywood persona now that he has the box office credits to go with it. But he's too 'social media' friendly to turn heel these days.

But to this day, my favorite Rock persona is Corporate Rock. The music, the shirts, the shyt talking, having prime Cokeboy and Young Simba in his corner.... It was the complete package :wow:
man I was hoping his 2013 run would have been as a heel. so much potential for fukkery

no her heel turn was great. I feel like her alone as a heel made her more of a boss. Rock would have overshadowed anyone he would have been out there with

Might have been overkill I think.

She wouldn't have hurt since heel Trish was MEAN but it wouldn't have really added to what was already a tough to deal with monster in Hollywood Rock.
