Kurt Angle will next tweet that Rock stole his bald head.
Man, this is a full court press, isn't it. Maybe next week they'll use attack ads during the commericals.

Wait, I'm fairly certain that The Rock was using The Rock Bottom since at least 1997. I never saw Booker use the Bookend until 1999 or 2000. I would be inclined to say he may have used it and I missed it but he never had it in his moveset in any of the old WCW games. But he did have all his kicks, his sidewalk slam, and the harlem hangover.
Tl;dr - Booker's full of shit.

Always said Booker was full of shit. Glad to see he's still proving me right.

I seem to recall it was Book who was ripping the Rock off back in WCW when he was getting his big singles push. Maybe not intentionally. After all it wasn't quite as blatant as it was with The Juice.

It's just more narrative in the "please cheer John Cena" campaign.

Sure it wasn't directly, but it's just to make the guy look like a shitheel, in the market where the show is happening, it not like he gave this to the Wisconsin media or something. It's all well thought out. Why they're so stupid to do something like this is a whole other thing.

Does this mean we'll be seeing a People's Spinnarooni soon? I'd love to see that.

If that was the case, Rock would've said "Hogan, I'm coming for you n****!" before 'Mania 18.

In the 2nd article, it seems like he was kidding when he said that. as it said he said it with a chuckle.

I'll always recall laughing when my late Grandmother called Booker T 'a poor man's Rock', back c.2000.

It was definitely intentional as Russo was writing for Booker, and clearly attempting to turn him into a character like he had had in the WWF with The Rock.

I wonder if Goldberg will accuse the Rock of stealing his looks.
