The Rock

[Guest Angle-plex]

2-1? Wasn't one of those wins the DQ victory from Unforgiven '98? If you're counting it (assuming it was their first match, because I barely watched pre-Badd Blood '97)...

 

So, clean falls, Foley/Austin are tied 1-1 (Over The Edge '98, SummerSlam '99).

You're both forgeting Mankind vs Austin on RAW in November of '96~!

 

Rcok did make the show good last night. I kept falling asleep or changing channels when he wasn't on though.

Nah, I remembered it, it's just that there was no decision for that match, foo'.

 

Really? I thought Undertaker ran out and attacked Mankind, thus causing a DQ on Austin.

Everyone seems to put faith in them whenever an an anti-HHH story surfaces. Not to say there may not true, but too often people don't take a discerning to these claims because of whatever they hold against HHH.

 

And he went off the negativity of the Internet in general, I believe.  That was just what broke the camel's back.  And you can't deny the Internet is pretty harsh on almost everything about the WWE, sometimes fairly, sometimes not.

 

I think this could be a perfect example of why we should take everything we read on the internet with a grain of salt.  I'm not saying we should be wary because the sources are unreliable, but I'm simply saying that I think a good portion of these "rumors" you read on 1wrestling, Torch, Wrestling Observer, etc. are concocted by the WWE.  They could be "working" the internet crowd to put help over a certain wrestler as a face or heel (this is where I would classify a lot of the Triple H nonsense, although I'm pretty sure there is a certain degree of truth to his backstage antics) or they could be feeding the internet these rumors simply for their own personal amusement (haircuts, tans, "hazing," etc.).  

 

Basically what I'm trying to say is I'm guessing someone from the WWE fed the Torch that line regarding Rock's huge ego simply to help push his impending heel turn.  

 

I'm not sure if that whole spiel made any sense.  Did it?

 

Yep.  Why did you think it didn't?  Anywho, I am in agreement

I just thought it seemed to be one big run-on sentence at the time. I was also just trying to elicit a response of some sort. I don't think it worked.

 

I agree with what you said especially about being harsh on the WWE. I will say the quality programming of the past has been lacking of late, but I also think a lot of people sweat the small stuff way too much. That's why these endless threads praising Rock (well deserved, might I add) are so refreshing.
