chris jerichos debut, rock absolutely rapes him and almost kills his career

>>19987252
I also think whoever he's going back and forth with doesn't want to push back too hard, since Rock is the one drawing the houses... you don't wanna bury your cash cow

>>19987252
Yeah how dear people like him because of his catchphrase deliver what is wrong with people

Love Kurt Angle he won a gold medal with a broken neck

>>19987261
It was so bad Jericho was feuding with Road Dogg the next week. Jericho did eventually get his lick back in 2001. Fucked up Rocky bad enough that he literally did the "BITCH IF YA SMELL" bit. Part of me thinks that's how he got the undisputed title.

The problem is no one could destroy the rock on the mic. Cena scored a knock down but that's it. So this would never happen. If you smell...

>>19987252
Who cares. He's a shoot faggot and Austin would bury him in 2 seconds.

>>19987280
Rock was FUMING after that "notes on your arm" comment. You could see just how mad Dwayne was in that moment lmao

True but at the same time he is the top guy so make him look good. You could also just not sell it but then you'd get heat for no selling.

>>19987280
Punk destroyed him

>>19987294
This. BMJ buried him. What a gotten to bitch.

It was weird when Rock held back. There was a segment where Triple H did a 20 minute promo on the stage talking about Road Dogg facing Christian while Rock was in the Ring. And How the Rock didn't just bury Road Dogg (or Edge and Christian) right after. Makes me think Triple H wanted the D O double G buried and Rock didn't do it out of spite

The Rock is a overrated shitter on the mic

>>19987252
That's how it basically works mostly in business, also in life in general - the top guy, supposedly because he brings in the most, has the most liberties and is always made to look better than everyone else. I get the logic, but it also assures you will never have enough oxygen with him in the room for other people.

>>19987344
He's always been trash and people who put him on all time lists are fucking retards

>>19987294
kek can’t believe how many smarks are still worked by this segment

>>19987252
My favorite Rock burial was his feud with the Big Show

>>19987252
He got the crowd chanting fruity pebbles and cheering for him in a segment where John Cena objectively buried him. He da GOAT.

>>19990057
Gayest of all time? Yes. He's got that locked down for eternity.

WHAT?

Phil did alright but still got the “LMAO YOU’RE A BITCH. YA YA SMEEEELLLLLLL” treatment at the end. But people still remember this as a classic Phil promo

>>19987289
Rock was far bigger star than wifebeater redneck austin, and ended his career lol

>>19990140
Fuck off, schizo

>>19987280
Austin raped him weekly on the mic go watch that video where Austin is signing stuff and rock appears

>>19987252
yes and no. john cena fucking cooked him on promos and if you were actually watching without being completely nostalgia biased towards the rock, it was pretty obvious

Rock just memorized the script Foley and stone cold were better

>>19987252
Jericho smoked him on his debut which caused him to seethe and is one of the reasons Jericho was bookef like shit for his first year.

>>19987403
Can you even call them smarks. You'd have to be smart to be considered. They're retard edrone marks worked into a seethe

>>19990570
Smart in this context means smart to the business. It's more indy fags than e-chads.

Hasn’t it basically been confirmed that Brian Gerwitz wrote all of Dwayne’s material? He was insanely charismatic and a good actor but it makes me seethe a bit when people rate him higher than guys who came up with their own stuff on the spot or just generally

>>19990085
Phil shoot murdered him. People remember the "your arms are too short to box with God" line, but basically everything from when Phil starts ranting is better than 99% of Rock's promos. Look at Dwaynetty even doing a nervous little gulp when Punk starts going off, like "shit, he's real"

>>19987252
That's the power of the Chad. It doesn't matter what you say if people don't feel you're in charge.

>>19987294
>still getting worked by this 10 years later

>>19988576
Weirdly it didn't bury-bury Big Show. "Big slow" I mean he is big and he might be a little slower than you but I still wouldn't want to get hit by him.

>>19990582
nah watching wwe only and acting like a smartass about is even gayer

>>19987252
Rocks proves that no one, not even he, can get over in modern day WWE.

Getting to say, “fuck it” and go on to have the verbal freedom that no other person on the roster gets to enjoy is absolutely fucked. Rock gets to mic spar while everyone else basically has an arm tied behind their back against Rock in this way.

>You could absolutely destroy him on the mic and all he'd have to do is say
Both Cena and Punk have turned Rock into a seething blubbering shuddering mess on live TV.

>>19987294
Rock destroys people within the script. John had to shoot to get a point.
The Rock's facebook promo destroyed John but WWE had to edit it to make Cena look strong.

>>19987272
That's due to Triple H being jealous, bro.
It's been stated multiple times by Y2J that Haitch is afraid of him so he politicked him to go down the card.
Burying Carder's desert promo didn't help Jericho's case.

>>19990996
Cena was the closest, punk didn't do shit

funniest thing is nowadays it would be so easy to bury him on the mic, just bring up what a flop Black Adam and that UFC biopic was and call him a fraud and watch him have a meltdown

>>19991282
>when is your film coming out? That's what I thought jabroni
Try again

>>19990996
you wish cracka
