See I will agree that rasslin is the one place to look for coherent stories. Otherwise it'd fall apart after someone went from face to heel or vice versa more than once

I'm not gonna give credit to em for being forced to do what fans want. That's nuts.
That said, I don't watch so I don't care haha

Young Rock's unstated goal was floating a trial balloon to see if people would make him prez some day.

It's weird how much over the last 15 years they've antagonized and made fun of people for even watching.

For the sake of Rock's health it needs to be a multi-man match where the active wrestlers do most of the bumps.
He's 💯 getting injured 1 on 1.

I want to throw in a personal comic book fan rant about how it's not like Black Adam being treated as a hero was 100% on Dwayne. Adam was the precious baby pet character of Geoff Johns, the guy who was put in charge of how DC properties get adapted and whose decision is, nearly 100% of the time, "make it whichever version I wrote." (That worked great for Aquaman, disastrously for Green Lantern, decently enough for The Flash on TV, poorly for The Flash as a movie.) The big Black Adam story arc adapted for the movie, while being a story arc that got me to quit reading the comic it was published in, was one of Johns' signature stories. Many of the problems with the movie were pretty likely to arise from an entirely separate egotist that the Rock's demands were relatively compatible with. Hard disagree on your take on Geoff Johns' work with Black Adam (Black Reign is a classic story for a reason). That said, that wasn't even the problem. The problem was that the character Dwayne was playing also barely resembles the character in the comics. In the comics, Black Adam was an anti-villain, not an anti-hero. While he has admirable traits and isn't some moustache twirling baddie, he's also the kind of guy who thinks ripping criminals in half on international television is perfectly rational behavior. He's a complex character, but he's very much not the good guy (not usually, anyways). Rocky was so afraid of doing anything even somewhat morally ambiguous so you end up with him basically playing the same character he plays in everything else. None of the nuance was there, none of the character development for Black Adam or the JSA that made that story good was there. All because The Rock wanted to take a b level villain and turn him into the main character of the DCEU. Plus the whole set up of "ooh Black Adam kills!" when the entire franchise started out with Superman cracking a guy's neck. Poor Henry Cavill, brought him back w no contract to try and get positive buzz to the point the 'surprise' was part of the 11th hour marketing and then everyone involved looks dumb.

I have had it with this Cody story nonsense. He didn’t even have the best story last year when everyone whines about him losing. Sami did. Sami spent months building his story with Bloodline. He was in his hometown. Cody entered 30 in a Rumble. It’s like everyone fell for some really lazy branding. Because he made up a story about Dusty having a photo on his nightstand so ridiculous it’s funny not moving. A photo that buries Dusty’s actually accomplishments winning an actual world title….whose lineage (we care SOOOO much about that right now right?) Cody already f***ing won. Not to mention the entire point of the story that everyone willfully misses…there is supposed to be a struggle. But no…Jhe should have won right out of the gate after 8 months away and entering last in a glorified Battle Royal. Because that was a good story? No. It wasn’t. Still, it's A story right? This here is "Rock is Roman's cousin."

I know they're cousins or whatever but outside of getting booed at the Rumble 8 years ago have they ever even interacted? I guess Roman was in that Hobbes movie. But... So?

DC can 😏 I saw Black Adam in theaters, I can say that. I saw Black Adam in theaters as well, and they really should have gone all in on Black Adam being a "destroy your oppressors" type. Would have tapped into what people wanted from a Black Adam movie that much better. That intro with him decimating soldiers was amazing. I liked the movie ok for the most part tbh

How old was Rock during Cena II, early 40s? He had major injuries due to his age and how many PEDs he must have been on making muscle too big for the surround tissue THEN.
Add almost 15 years & the man better be really careful.

Based on what I’m seeing today, I’m not so sure of that, tbh. Sure, but the money line speaks loudest. Can't say Rock isn't a draw. DC can 😏 I saw Black Adam in theaters, I can say that.

"Get your monkey ass out of my ring!" "Yes, king." People joke, but he clearly said something that caught Cody off-gaurd negatively Hail Hydra

They outright had Roman say that other belt was the second place title. In kayfabe as well as factually it is one now & so you'll have Cody chase that and look stupid.
How long can they expect fans to stay behind a guy who looks like a complete goober?
And again, I got all that from 5 minutes

He's not a star! That's the primary point here, he's just a guy. And sometimes guys that aren't stars lose a lot, not everything needs to be referred to them as being a bitch. Who cares. If he's the main champ of Raw after Mania instead of a clearly better guy like Seth, Cody, Drew, Gunther, or Sami, then what's the point of countering Roman's 9 year reign anyways. He's not a star according to you. For plenty of other people he is. Plus it's not real. Their entire job is to MAKE stars
