RHR 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Usually I just read the oao Raw thread at work, so that I don't waste my time going to the bar to watch the West coast playing of Raw. This week I won't just because I'm kind of excited to see Rock come back. I don't understand it at all....I mean, the guy pops up only when Vince needs the cheap pop and buy Rock is good for....and the angle he's entering has nothing to do with him whatsoever...so why do I care? I guess it has to do with watching the Monday Night War DVD, and seeing the reactions the crowds used to have, hell, the reaction I used to have watching Austin/Rock/Foley/Jericho/Team ECK(man, I loved Team ECK)...etc.... So, is it wrong for me to want to see The Rock and OS Taker? Can I sink into fantasy for awhile without the feeling of guilt? Can I crank up Pearl Jam's Ten, grab the weed, blow the smoke thru a paper towel roll with fabric softener on one end of it, and watch WrestleMania through the eyes of a kid, if just for one measly afternoon in March? The answer: No. Because the crap is too overbooked, and only watching Angle/Eddie will make me feel good. But man, it's nice to think that all will sink into place and work out perfectly and I will actually pop when Lesnar F-5's Crapberg. What do you guys think, will the Road to and the destination of WrestleMania explode the next two weeks and make it a memorable show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, though, that's one of the worst t-shirts I've ever seen the WWE put out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was waiting for someone to say this all week so I could respond to them. I'm going to call a foul on you for that one...I disagree. Last Monday, Foley talked about in the interview how he couldn't believe "no one came out to help." In the way Foley said this is as well, you knew where it was going. On Monday, Rock should come out and say that "If the boys in the back won't help this man, then I'll be damned because I will." Remember back in December when Foley was in trouble with the Frenchies and Rock saved the day? Rock always has had the respect for Foley since the Rock & Sock Connection days and he has gone out of his way to help him out before. He's going to do it once again because Foley is outnumbered (once again). The angle Rock is entering makes great sense and considering he's very limited in what he can and can't do for feuds and angles because of his busy scheudle, this will do great and will have a nice pay off at Wrestlemania. There. That felt good to get that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's interesting to see I'm not the only one who becomes a mark when I'm high and watching WWE programming. It became a problem eventually though, because every Monday night RAW would come on and I'd have to toke up to enjoy it. I remember watching the debut of Gowen on Smack! high and flipping out over the fact that Piper pulled his leg off. I was so DISGUSTED. And I thought Vince was seriously pissed at him. And I remember staring in awe as Lesnar/Show made the ring explode. Good times. I've since quit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, I think its funny RAW is going to be Atlanta Monday and one year ago, The Rock beat the fuck out of Goldberg in front of his hometown and completely no sold the offense.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 1, 2004 I think so too...ESP since the SHOCK factor will work better at Mania... He'll have to wear the Track Pants/Shirt look again...not the Leather look...since the tattoos go from the stomach to knees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 As much as I miss The Rock being on t.v., I don't really care for his comeback. What's the point of coming back for two weeks, leaving for 7 months, then coming back for a brief stint again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like he feels guilty. probably the same reason I'm passionate about being Irish. When the Rock was a kid, he moved around alot because his family was in the wrestling business,so he never really had anything to "identify" himself with except his roots, and his family, which is why he probably feels so passionate about being Samoan. Plus,its probably family tradition, the tats I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted March 1, 2004 Back & Neck Injuries finally caught up with Flair. I'm shocked it took this long considering he was seriously injured in the plane crash like 30 years ago. Or maybe he's getting too old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally feel Flair deserves it...not Botchtistia. I would have them both in and make it a handicap match.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2004 His grandfather was Samoan...and he's direct COUSINS with Rikishi. You are right - he has a direct relationship with Solofa (Rikishi) and Rodney (Yokozuna). But, the tattoos aren't required or even suggested to the descendants - Rocky looked into it, and decided to honor his family (everything so far on his upper body/left arm, is the "family seal" or story of his ancestors).
