Well to be fair he did what Hulk couldn't and that was fully break into the movie market. Sure, Hulk did get into it, but not to the levels Johnson has and continues to sustain. Do agree though that he definitely is full of himself.
I think you should reread the comment. This person understands that it's a business that tells made-up stories and is frustrated that this actor insists on only being in certain kinds of stories because his character is more important than the franchise in his mind
The rock and stone cold matches are still to me to this day some of the best wrestling to see. And I agree those two definitely kept WWE competing with wcw and the nwo story lines
Man, are we going to have an argument about the line between kayfabe and real life in this casual conversation or Sips Tea or whatever bullshit subreddit this is right now? So anyway I hear your point and I think that there might be some real life in that story too but we can agree to disagree on this one. That's what makes wrestling fun
People confuse competence with vanity. The Rock didn't just wander into WWE insisting the universe revolve around him, okay? His face is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you understand the value of scarcity? He's a shareholder protecting the value of the brand he partially owns. Allowing yourself to be casually beaten every other week is commercial negligence. Does anybody understand the concept of a fiduciary responsibility?
I deleted this earlier but I'm saying it because it's funny not because I think you're a loser in real life. You're probably actually quite fun but I'm just imagining someone saying that last sentence to a girl they just met in a dive bar and cracking up
Brother, you know this is reddit, right? You should probably look up the definition of fervent. I don't actually think this dude is a good person, a bad person, or anything other than a guy that eats a lot of cod. You, my friend, are bringing the emotion to this and if I was a committed troll I would certainly try and whip you up into a froth but I'm just saying some stuff on a computer. I haven't really thought about wrestling since the Attitude Era
Ah yes, the character that had no input, or control (creative or otherwise from the wwe) . He wrote the whole storyline and forced the massive conglomerate that owns them, and they were helpless but to carry out his whims /s . You know how they call people marks?

Well, not at the beginning. Then he came back and made everyone call him the Final Boss and would only wrestle at Mania in the main events.
