Seth Rollins resents The Rock

[Silkk]

 

[The Great One]

I haven't seen anything that says hes white and considers himself white. He said in the interview he was Armenian and his last name is Lopez regardless, so in your job application scenario any potential employer would believe him to be Hispanic based on the only required information given.

Oh really?

So his first name is Colby does that make half-cheese too?

Damn you are a fukking idiot.

Lesnar is honest about his intentions never said he likes everyone or wrestles for anything but money . But let's be clear I'm not a fan of lesnar having the belt and i wasn't a fan of rock having the title either or unifying the titles or the brand split ending . WWE had some of the best wrestling and feuds during that era to me and was able to make stars easier and keep feuds fresh plus made smackdown must watch . They sacrificed a lot of future potential for big wrestlemanias which was short sighted

HOW DID I MISS THIS DAMN THREADDDDDDDDDDDDD

People base things primarily on appearance, in professional situations or otherwise. If you are unaware of this, I'd advise you to get familiar with this mentality because it tends to define most first interactions people have with you.

Rollins LOOKS white, has dominant white genetics, is from a small town of primarily white people in Ohio and makes no upfront indications that he considers himself to be anything other than white, I'd bet my check he considers himself white. Just because YOU have never read anything stating differently doesn't mean it does not exist. Nothing is wrong with this but when you actively choose to pick a side, you subconsciously start identifying yourself with and following the culture of the side you choose. Its why Political mentalities run so deep.


As far as this goes with the Rock, I find it amazing that so many wrestlers are taking the few moments off camera where they can give their true thoughts to speak negatively on him and his actions. There are literally 5 times as many white people (HHH, Taker, Brock, Jericho, RVD, etc.) doing the EXACT same thing as Rock that receive little to no criticism for doing the same thing, its a double standard and people act its a passable offense. At the absolute best its petty and immature and at the worst its speaks volumes about an engrained culture and mentality the WWE has.

Out of all of these haters CM Punk was probably the smartest because he actually had to apologize to the Rock, admitted he was wrong and then was able to turn it into an angle with him. It serves no purpose for guys like Ziggler or Rollins to make comments like this without working towards getting an angle with Rock. Frankly, I don't blame the Rock for having his own dressing room, he doesn't want to be surrounded with whining chumps like this when he has work to do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it. When Rock won the belt and missed Raw tapings people acted like he was disrespecting the belt and the business. Meanwhile Brock is missing PPVs, and no one cares. There's definitely a double standard when it comes to Rock. I highly doubt Brock is in the back hanging out with the boys, but you would never hear anyone call him out on that. I would like to think that all of this is because Rock is "Hollywood", but the history of the WWE says otherwise.

How? Lol, because you don't like it?

If you fill out an application and check the "white" box, you are more likely to get a call back than if you check the "black" or "other" box. This is unfortunately a proven fact, numerous studies have been done on it. What you look like and what you consider yourself is extremely important to how you will be perceived and in a business VERY prevalent on your LOOKS like Wrestling is, knowing which side of the line you are matters.


My point in bringing it up is speaking on the mindset of a certain segment of the population that seem to value and respect certain races and show an opposite set of reaching for other races. Rollins is just another name along a long line of disgruntled wrestlers complaining about the Rock, yet failing to mention the numerous other wrestlers who are guilty of everything The Rock has done. Why is The Rock being singled out? Why do all of these guys constantly speak out about him yet fail to address it in person?

It can't be person as too many separate individuals have spoken out about it. Either Rock is doing something to these guys or there is something more going on below the surface.

How many of the other part-timers come in and are immediately bigger than the whole show? How many come in and headline consecutive Wrestlemanias? How many are arguably the biggest star in the history of the business? Rollins admitted he was envious of Rock's all-time success. And your response is...well he's not envious of RVD and Jericho who come in to put over midcarders...so it must be a racial thing. And everyone else, also racist. Do you realize how many assumptions and illogical jumps you have to make for that to be your immediate conclusion? The business of pro wrestling has a history of cism and theres literally hundreds of blatant examples over the years all the way up til present day. You dont need to reach to find more to defend Rocky.

The job application point was irrelevant and goofy to begin with, then you kept shifting from "check a little box" to self-identification, to finally "well he looks white anyway so whatever."

Finally, you gave Punk credit for parlaying his criticism into a program w/ the Rock but you don't consider for a second that maybe others might be trying to do the same?

Half cheese?

Lol you're so embarrassing.

Damn, that race bug is slowly seeping into the #TSC. There is truly no escape.

I'm not into the "everything that happens in the world is because of racism" schtick, and I think you know me better than that. But given wrestling's history I think it's a valid point to bring up when you consider that Rock is the ONLY guy that gets called out for this.

TRUTH.

I would LOVE to not make this about race and not to have to always focus on it, but its so damn blatant that it becomes intolerable.

Wrestling has horrible history with racism, all the people in character have history throwing the word ****** around to their own amusement. There are reasons more black people don't want to go into wrestling because the WWE doesn't do right by the minority performers.

 

[Momentum]

Lol, shyt I HOPE WWE doesn't start to believe Rollins has a Hispanic origin, he gonna fukk around and end up in that Bumble Bee Man costume on RAW

Sin Cara III

 

[Takerstani]

I'm saying. Dude was honest and put his name to his comments and feelings. What's the problem? As long as that jealousy fuels him, I'm completely fine with this. That's just me though.


Seriously, breh?

Can't wait. Summer of Seth next year.




Who is the wet head one?

Make stars? Ryback got buried and he was actually generating money...lol. That era still had Cena in the lead as usual and a Cripple H project like the Shield stay undefeated for months while Bryan put them over several times. AND he was getting cheered over Punk 6 months before that at Over the Limit. The Rock getting the belt didn't change politics and the same 2 main event guys like Cena and Punk winning all the time.

I pointed this out a lifetime ago and it was obvious when Rock was around more than Taker over the last 4 years..or even back in 2002 when people tried to use Hollywood to be against him as another justifiable excuse to throw salt on him. They used to love to say Rock wouldn't exist without Steve Austin...the ECW Internet landscape hated the Rock to the core of their being. Until he turned heel and then basically flipped and recognized there was no one like him in history with his crowd control. Seemed they thought it was a face thing and not a once in a lifetime talent that can't be duplicated.

When Rock did that Toronto promo, I swear to GOD I've never seen so many people at so many different places FLIP FLOP on a wrestler.

Umm did you read ??? I said the brand split era your so quick rush in and save rocky you didn't even read rock is fine as a special attraction ala undertaker but other than that him having the belt added nothing to the actual title it was just a way to get cena his win back and even more unnecessary rub for a ten year top guy . Rocks run was financial successful with mania for wwe? Sure did it build any stars ?? Not one bit. at the cheers thing how about you acknowledge the cheers punk got over rock as a heel ??? Oh yeah you won't
