Why does The Rock get credit for anything?
 

Seriously. What did he do that was so great?

Leach off the success of Stone Cold Steve Austin? Check.
Use the same promo for his whole career but pretend it's different by adding a new catchphrase every couple months? Check.
Cut calf holes in his boots? Check.
Leave to film a movie every time his character started getting stale? Check.
Pretend to love the business that made him, then leave it high and dry to benefit his own career? Check.

They say the attitude era died when Rocky left the company. That's true. Because Rocky killed it.

Just right place right time really. It was all Vince.

If all it takes to be "great" in wrestling is a book of catchphrases and wiggling your eyebrow from time to time, I'm pretty sure I could be a wrestler.

Because he's the freakin' Rock.

Shut up, jabroni.

The Rock got over by burying everyone and everything in his promos. It was the only way he knew how to get a reaction from the crowd. He made fun of people and buried their gimmicks. And of course the smart marks ate it up because he was being "edgy." He was a selfish prick and terrible for the business. End of story.

Remember when Mick Foley made the Rock look like a god at the Royal Rumble? The Rock never thanked him for that and never checked to see if Foley was ok after the match.

Let's see the Rock get anywhere in life without having a daddy in the business.

But Supreme, I think the Ro-Ohhhh I see what you're doing here.

Remember when he made fun of Big Show's hair? Now look at him. Bald as a baby's bottom. Nice one, Dwayne.

He's no Steve Blackman that's for sure.

Brahma bullshit

I'm sure plenty of people are reading this thread and thinking "Oh, parody thread, no biggie," but I am 100% serious.

just because the Rock road on Austin's coattails through the Attitude Era he gets a free pass

fuck that noise

Austin/Rock/Foley/McMahon made the attitude era.

Throw in a little DX there too but not as much as the other 4

Everyone road on Austin's coattails.

Undertaker

Secondary contribution like DX

If you ask me Foley's importance is huge

He was Austin's first foe, He was Rock's fist foe and then towards the end of the era he was HHH first foe and he put them all over huge.

Foley was a fucking king. I love that man. Way more important than The Rock, who was a nobody.

The Rock is the most successful wrestle ever

Which is sad, because he's not very good.

The millions

and

Millions

Of Rock's Fans would disagree


Sorry couldn't resist

neither could the rock

the millions

and

millions

of times he used that catchphrase.

You give Scott Taylor a book of catchphrases during the attitude era and he's a 6 time WWF Champion within 3 weeks.

Oh yeah! The Rock is no Raven or Piper on the mic


The bottom line is brother everyone used catchphrases and I'm mean eeeeeeeeeeeveryone dig it?

Jericho gets a pass because he can actually wrestle and cares about the business.

Rock was a no talent ass clown who cared only about himself.

I spit into my hand! That means this next punch will really knock em out!

I spin my leg before I do an elbow drop! That means I really mean business!

So he's Hogan Part 2 in your eyes? Only more successful

Hogan was a revolutionary. Rock was a poseur.

See now I know you're just being all Satirical or whatever

No, I honestly think Scotty 2 Hotty could've done the exact same thing. Perhaps even better.

c'mon

If it was another poster this thread would have been closed or merged.

Satirical with a capital S.

Very astute observation Jura. Since he can unclose and unmerge threads on his own, it wouldn't make an awful lot of sense to bother policing it now would it?
