3. Because of the bad gimmick his push was cooled off. He was put in random programs for a while until he finally hit his stride with the heel turn. My point is, just because Rock didnt headline Wrestlemania 13, doesnt mean it prevented him from headlining Wrestlemania after Wrestlemania after that. Similarly a guy like Cesaro or Owens will have the opportunity to get there as well. But will they be like DJ and knock it out of the park or will they fall on their face. Thats up to the talent, there's no hidden agenda against those guys reaching Rocky level success.

1. Yes, you absolutely are. You're just attributing their viewpoints to the "dirt sheets" because it suits you.
2. Yes, they did. Casual fans may not have seen anything special though, since his original babyface appearances were so bad.
3. My point was that The Rock had an incredibly fast rise. He was the youngest WWE Champion up until that point in history. He's not really a great example to use when it comes to guys "struggling" for years. Fuck, use Bradshaw.
