Cody Rhodes being the first person to get Rock booed in over 20 years isn't something I'd have put money on a couple of years ago. I don't count Royal Rumble 2015. He was loudly cheered coming out and beating up Kane and Big Show. The booing at the end was all about Roman.
The original Hollywood Rock was so entertaining that after the first couple weeks he struggled to get boos. He got a lot of cheers at Mania v Austin and Backlash v Goldberg. I think he's going to be more ruthless this time though. Like when he stepped to Cody at that press conference it felt like the most intimidating Rock has ever been while 2003 Hollywood Rock was almost all comedy.
I wouldn't say no to another Rock concert though. I'm picturing Solo standing there stone-faced while Jimmy is vibing along like a fool then like Cody/Seth/Jey interrupt.

The debate over whether this was the plan or a pivot will run forever, but they have leaned in to whatever this is now so damn well

I was never a huge Rock fan but his time as Hollywood Rock was great.

Rock as a heel will probably get the fans back on his side. “Dwayne” as a babyface (2011-present) is beyond corny. As a heel we might see glimpses of what made him a big star in the first place.

I liked Hollywood Rock's interactions with Hurricane.

If he can get anywhere close to the genius of Hollywood Rock, we're in for a treat. That Toronto promo is the stuff of legend. Assist to King and JR, too. They were great during that promo.

The debate over whether this was the plan or a pivot will run forever, but they have leaned in to whatever this is now so damn well I think somebody pointed this out in another thread, but the trailer actually has me 95% sure that it was a genuine change. There's some Rock/Roman footage in there that looks totally different from every other bit of footage in the whole trailer. My guess is they shot the original Rock/Roman stuff last month and when they had to make a change, they shot new stuff in Vegas.

My guess is they shot the original Rock/Roman stuff last month and when they had to make a change, they shot new stuff in Vegas. For those curious: at about 20s of the clip, there's shots of Rock and Roman posing in front of a CG stadium crowd that absolutely looks like it's leftover footage from what would've been the original version of this trailer of just Rock vs. Roman w/o Cody or Seth. Like, there's probably shots of a Rock/Roman staredown in that same stadium background that are likely just left on the cutting room floor.

too bad Punk is hurt, because I want to see him bring this classic back to mock Rock: I want Drew to find a way to make that look tame. Drew should remake all Rock’s movies Claywatch Scotscraper Mc & Tyre (that’s Pain & Gain) The Drewth Fairy And so on until Rock cries.

Please tell me there’s a raw or smackdown in either Sacramento or Toronto before mania Not seeing either on WWE’s schedule. They’re doing a California loop starting this Saturday but Sacramento isn’t part of it.

We need the Heel theme for this to be truly complete
That theme is so criminally underrated
