I'll stop guessing. Why don't you endeavor to elucidate me.
Because, going by the common definition, it doesn't fit. I don't care about provoking an emotional response. Dude was off base, I called him on it, he got an attitude, I got one back. I don't care if he blows it off as a difference of opinion or gets his panties in a twist over it.
Simple fact: I think The Rock sucks, he bores the piss out of me, I know for a fact I'm not the only person who feels that way, and I also don't care what popular opinion is. Just because masses of people agree on something doesn't actually make it true.
Punk has some very valid points about the Rock (both good and bad) and I disputed a claim that The Rock was somehow some great wrestler. He simply isn't. Let's face it, Al Snow was a better wrestler. (After all, very few people could wrestle no one in a match and still pull it off.) Also, The Rock got entirely too formulaic with his promos. They got repetitive. Repetition bores me. Especially when it goes on for like ten minutes.

lol I get why you don't like the Rock, but honestly just because the guy doesn't do things textbook does not make him a bad wrestler. He has impeccable timing, and his style of doing things is very distinctive. He understands pschology and how to work a crowd in a match. He moves quickly, he bumps A LOT, very athletic and generally just tells a good story in the ring. His matches with Austin, HHH, Benoit, Angle, Jericho, Brock Lesnar, Foley are all a testament to how good he is in the ring. Yeah his belly-to-belly and samoan drop are a little loose. Yeah he does a bad sharpshooter. Yeah Al Snow does a way better wristlock, but noone really gave a fuck about Al Snow. They'd rather see the Rock People's Elbow motherfuckers than indy wrestler B putting on a work rate clinic.
It doesn't really matter with the Rock that he's repetitive, he's into his character and dedicates himself to the craft of being "The Rock". He is absolutely brilliant and magnetic as a performer. As repetitive as he is, the crowd is ALWAYS with him.
I get that you want to be cool "Mr. smark" , and lord knows I love CM Punk's work as much as anyone but Punk hasn't done what Rock has done in and for the business. He's on his way there, but there is only one Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
On a side note, Punk also needs to tone up his physique just a tad. He doesn't need to look like a monster, but he looks flabby. Talk about how hard you work but you don't bother keeping in decent shape. It says something.
