Guest packwingfn7 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 Not that Im a huge fan of his or anything, but where was The Rock these past 2 shows, Raw & Smackdown...they do kinda need him to build up the Summerslam match badly considering theres only so many shows left till Summerslam...and Brocks still heatless (Maybe this was posted earlier but I might have missed it, if so, please dont get mad at me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest packwingfn7 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 But he could have been on Smackdown for Sunday at least, or even Raw on monday consideing everyone else in the roster was, and he is the WWE Champion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 They should have done something with Brock taking him out on SD! if they knew he wouldn't be there this week. Instead it just looks lame that the guy who is only around for a couple months at a time...misses a full week of TV...WHILE CHAMPION. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bricks Report post Posted August 8, 2002 Or they could've done what they did with Jericho on his Japan trip and say he was fetching lotion. Then again, maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, it's like Hogan all over again... Only Rocky didn't politic his way for a 2 month vacation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 I don't blame Rock. This was the WWE's ball they dropped. If they think that Lesnar and Rock is going to signify a changing of the guard...just because they want it too...and they can just take a week off from developing it... They are sadly mistaken.

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted August 8, 2002 Oh, I don't blame Rock either, I just found the similarities amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted August 8, 2002 I sorta blame The Rock. Hell, if Matt Hardy can stand up for himself, surely The People's Champ can... I mean come on, I hate to bring up the cliched argument, but if HHH was pulling this kind of raw deal, half the board would be all over him... Anyway, I have to say I didn't miss Rocky at all, but it was kind of weird considering he is the champion and all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted August 8, 2002 I don't think it's a coincidence that the one show he missed since getting back so far was also easily the worst WWE show during that time period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Fett Report post Posted August 8, 2002 Do you people want Rock to be politicing or not? One minute you praise him for doing whatever he's told by management, the next you complain about him not standing up to management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted August 8, 2002 I want him to stand up to management. Hell, I've been saying that for a while now. He's pretty much the ONLY guy(outside of Hunter, probably) that could speak up a la Matt Hardy and NOT get buried. It's time for him to stop letting creative shovel this shit into his mouth like a good little lemming and actually speak up for once. It doesn't even have to be something that changes every single angle, gimmick and what-not that the writers come up with, if he sees something that pretty much will be a failure right out of the gate(say maybe the 20 minute gabfest for a main event on RAW or booking the next big heel champ like a relic from the 80's), then he should speak up.
