Kurt Angle - "Rock couldn't improvise like you (YSJ) and Austin, a lot of stuff was written for him"

[Da King]

found that quote interesting on Jericho's podcast, definitely makes me view certain wrasslers in a different light

 

[Brainchild]

That's surprising... but even if his lines were written for him he sold the shyt out of them with more delivery and charisma than anybody except for maybe Flair.

 

[TL15]

I don't think one man's opinion of a peer is the overarching truth though.

All of the greats had storylines written...all of the greats improvised

All of the men listed in this recap though (Angle, Rock, Y2J, SCSA) are all legends

This thread has potential to do numbers. Kurt Mill out here exposing bruhs. He said that man has reference promos.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Explains why he became a pretty solid actor.

 

[Apex]

This is actually heartbreaking.

Bruce Prichard did say once that Rock was pissed HHH went off script, but then they told Rock that it's live TV and you can retaliate.

Here we go ...

I don't see why this should matter to anyone. Actors don't get shyt on for not being able to go off script and make a great scene out of it. Would anyone expect Tommy the Green Ranger to improvise a great scene? If not, then don't expect it out of wrestlers, either.

But the fukkery incoming

 

[Lord Scion]

I mean, I thought it was known Brian Gewirtz wrote the Rock's promos.

Like... the Rock is literally making a TV Show with Brian about how he used to write for him

wonderful logic, because all actors are performing in front of live audiences, just like wrasslers, and need to adjust depending on how the crowd reacts to what they do


please give us more of your wonderful insight

 

[NoMorePie]

The Rock legitimately had the notes to refer to if needed for his lengthy live promo. As WZ columnist Mark Madden wrote, it is something The Rock has done for years.

Kurt on another drinking binge i see :waitrock:

 

[HYDRO]

Let's ignore the fact that he said Rock was one of the best


Also he said Benoit showed him real wrestling had its place in the ring
