plus as far as the rock goes, there was people who didnt want him to pop..... aka Shawn michaels and Helmsley
I'm still trying to grasp what he was saying that is so unbelievable. He never mentioned he was going to get a year long title run as Papa Shango he said the character was supposed to have a longer run. How many potential main event characters get jobbed out after being touted as the next big thing? Lord Tensai anyone?
About the NWO stuff he didn't put on that he was going to be Hogan/Hall/Nash status, just an enforcer. Pretty much what he was in the nation.
The Papa Shango return is believable. Vince has pulled back on a ton of pushes. Brodus Clay going from heel monster to dancing fool.
Lastly dude didn't say he taught the Rock everything he knows. Just that he looked out for him as a rookie.

Carolina hail to thee....
He was/is supposidly cool as fukk with Taker so I see nothing unbelievable...
Nothing really. Status' original post pretty much sums it up for me.
Rock has never bad mouthed this cat. Don't see it starting now. Everyone knows his story from every angle. His book, Macho Man, Kurt Angle, Trish(basically turned her last run into a homage to his ways), Lita, Dudleyz, Foley, Jericho, Big Show(The air plane story), Austin...we've all gotten first hand shoot commentary on him.
Only people who don't give him credit are Kliq types. Shawn Michaels doesn't like to talk about the Rock and you can look that up. He FINALLY did after Summerslam 2005 when Hogan played him and he didn't get that win back. Then he was a Rock fan all of a sudden. Cripple H never gave him credit either UNTIL he came back recently and he turned into a groupie for him on his DVD
Godfather must've been one cool ass dude in the locker room.
I'm still laughing at the roundtable discussion about the Attitude era with JR saying Godfather volunteered to sit in on a meeting with JR & Ahmed to protect JR (after the whole Goldust giving Ahmed mouth to mouth)

Virgil got me
"I asked why, and it turned out that Virgil offered to do it for a third of the price because he wanted to be back on TV so bad. That dumb motherf---er cost us both."

complete mark
if the papa shango return in 97 is legit i would really like to see the design they worked up.

He isn't even joking, you know Bischoff would have just hired Virgil anyway because he used to be in the WWF.
virgil wrestling superstar
Someone should post that story about Matt Hardy asking Virgil for an autograph
Vince always knew Rock would be a GOAT...Kliq tried to bury him...like how that turned out.
Why not believe everyone else? This story is prevalent in 2012. 15 fukking years later
How gullible does one have to be? It's like that kid who takes Kevin Nash's word as the gospel. It's absurd. And Godfather can read Vince's mind..we ALL KNOW the Rock was put into the Nation to succeed after a face run that didn't add up. That's nothing new.
