Breetai posted:Could you elaborate on that last bit? Since I'm getting it off my chest, the sandwich erection story also has him copy and paste sections of his fiction writing, which is the other pillar of the difficult read - through all his angles at this time, it struck me that Mick is going into the writers room with Vince and then just apparently monologging his 30 minute promo ideas where Terry Funk bites Vince on the rear end. It's uncomfortable as you realise that people are humouring his big creative ideas to his face, both his angles and his fiction writing, and then he seems confused as to why it's not the greatest thing ever, and he doesn't seem to collaborate with anyone else on his ideas? Have A Nice Day is the book that got me into wrestling and I imagine would still be a very interesting read about his career and wrestling.

keithy george posted:Everyone talks about his terrible Melina angle, but there's lots of him talking openly about people like Candace Michelle and Stacey Kiebler constantly, but it gets very weird when he has a chapter about being the safe guy that all the divas hang around, and then talks about getting an erection from eating someone's (Candace's?) unfinished sandwich. You could argue he's trying to "put over" the divas as being hot to the audience, and it's in the service of a joke or something but he doesn't read well at all. I'm sure people will have it out for him for being a "simp" which I thought was unfair, but reading the Hardcore Diaries just seemed, I dunno - at the most generous interpretation, he's trying to impress an imagined audience of teenage boys? jesus loving christ

Wrestlemania main event will more than likely be Rock and Jey USO and Rikishi? vs Roman and Sikoa and Jimmy Uso This will allow for the Rock to have limited injury exposure, and Roman to stay rested when the real main event is Damien Priest cashing in… because WWE.

Excited to see who wrestles more in 2024, Roman or Rocky.

Yeah, I'm curious as to what Rock promos are like these days because if you go back and watch some of his "classic" stuff it's full of transphobia and gay panic.

How do you weigh a head anyway? Besides removing it from the body.

He experienced a bunch of failures in a short period of time. His Titan show was cancelled because of COVID, his Fast & Furious spinoff didn't do as well as the main series films, buying the XFL and whatever happened there, etc. EDIT: And his tequila loving sucks. I enjoyed Ryan Reynolds basically telling him that to his face while they were doing publicity for that egg movie.

It was funny how absolutely committed some people (not necessarily here, pls don't probe me again for implying I'm implying anybody here in a statement I'm making explicitly clear that's not the case) were to insisting Dwayne wasn't owned throughout most of those failures. Eventually the sheer volume of how many failures there were was too big to ignore anymorebartok posted:just remembered the post credit scene in Fast X is The Rock crawling back to the franchise WWE couldn't even get first dibs on him crawling back
