I like to think Shad was sold at the first Fyte For The Fallen show, when he came in the ring to present the charity check, and Cody introduced him to the crowd, and the crowd cheered. He got this huge smile on his face that said "OK, I get this."

quote:

"Chad Frost" was a top talent that bad mouthed Rock to Vince. Said wrestler was also injured around the time of Rock's rise to the main event [1998].

:rubby: oh yeah that's definitely referring to Shawn

quote:

According to reports, Michaels disrespected the maternal grandmother of Dwayne Johnson during a show in Hawaii. The Rock was incensed and the comments nearly led to a clash. Years later, Rock made his debut in the WWE, and unfortunately, Michaels held quite a lot of influence backstage.

According to Bret Hart in his autobiography, both Michaels and Triple H held intense dislike towards The Rock. Michaels urged Vince McMahon to get the Intercontinental title off of a young Rocky and hilariously, he wanted Bret Hart to beat Rock for the title. Hart refused to win the match and insisted on a DQ finish, thwarting the plans of HBK.

It is interesting that however many years ago, Shad Khan was like “I guess you can have the budget for your AEW thing, you kids are just going to waste my money after I’m dead anyway” and now he apparently is down with trying to buy WWE. Tony really sold him on this wrestling thing.

They could have no interest in actually buying it, but thew news will report "Rival wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling is interested in buying WWE"

It's free publicity.

Remember how Hunter Hearst Helmsley the character was created to mock, denigrate, and belittle Vince's real life neighbours who weren't as friendly or welcoming as he wanted to be, (because Vince is an insane carny). So he created a baddie character so he could get them booed by proxy?

This is a very similar thing for a woman who dared to use her own agency/initiative and proved she didn't need Vince or his stupid company at all financially.

Pretty sure they're both (Rock and HBK) huge dickheads that have chilled out as they've gotten older. Doesn't mean they're not still capable of being assholes.

But I would like to hear more about Michaels cracking.

Edit: Also, I had no idea Rock and Michaels had so much animosity, but it finally explains to me why they never worked in a match together.

I don’t know the origin of HHHs character but he was doing it in WCW before he got to WWE. It just switched from French snob to Connecticut snob.

Main thing was one of FTR (bald?) telling him about some mental health issues in confidence and then Shawn openly mocking him for it in front of the boys

rvd maintains he was still a backbiting piece of poo poo after he cleaned up and returned

im sure theres more but those are the main couple i can remember

I mean if you stay a bootlicker to WWE and are friends with HHH you’ll always be a piece of poo poo even if it’s by proxy.

On one hand, I like it a lot more than the Uncle Howdy mask. It at least looks like a vaguely unique design from a juggalo horror movie, but Howdy is just blatantly someone watching The Black Telephone and deciding it's a good look to rip off. I'm much less willing to give that the time of day.

On the other hand, Bray's face morphing into the Fiend is the worst way to show it. Just do a snap cut, it'd be more effective and easier to do than that.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
