I was taking advantage of the free month on the network and watching some old smackdown episodes and saw this interview with the rock



This was just after Rikishi and ran over Austin and said he did it for The Rock. The Rock makes it a point to deny he ever suffered any racism or was denied any opportunities because he's black and says the same for his father and Samoan grandfather. He even says that's one of his biggest pet peeves people playing the race card :mjpls: .

I wondered what tsc thought of this interview? Was it just written for him in character or is this how he really feels?

He don't use race as a jiggaboo nor as a excuse for success. New Day and Booker can't say the same thing.

Come get him? He's on the top of the food chain. Nobody can "get him". More tapdancimg ass nyggas exposing themselves in this thread though.

Lol@as if playing the race card is how u nyggas live your life.

Watching a kayfabe interview and trying to get a real basis in the Dwayne's opinion for 15+years ago ... :hhh:


Yet, R-Truth at the height of his heel turn get turned into an insulting & degrading retard face to appeal to young children.
New Day being bunch of side show "Colorful" comedy act beating on jobbers with zero direction. They could be happy with that(This is the most over Kofi/Big E has ever been), but their hardcore fans are wanting to push into single title divisions.
The whole gimmick of Crime Tyme.
Hall of Pain Henry's run being derailed when he was most over and GOAT monster.
Prime Time Player being made to look like a joke for years.
Apollo Crews looking like a smiling buffoon by freaking Ziggler and give so little to work with the last year since his call up.
Letting Lashley walk before he even hit his prime and take zero initiative bring him back
Banks gets totally shytted on in the Flair feud and kept from upstaging her in promos for Bayley to be the FACE of the women division.

Naomi is the first one in years to get a big win at Mania.

I'm not exactly making gripes, and I have zero idea on what the audience(predominately white at that) buy into with their money. It just irritates me that WWE has no problem shoving down white, Mexican, and etc athletes down our throat despite not being over, or bring in a loads of money. Yet, I have not seen them going 100% push on a black athlete since freaking Lashley. I think the product is at it's best when their variety of characters not the same 4-6 wooden white guys that has dominated both brand for the last two years it seems. Aj Styles is cool, but Ambrose, Cena, Orton, Ziggler, Rollins, Reigns, KO, Goldberg, HHH, DB, and Lesnar. :scust: It's been the same shyt for like 3 years running in the main event.

I was hoping WWE would of pushed Kofi or Big E into single title contention to give the New Day some shine as they were the most over guys on Raw at one time, but WWE creative made them stale and loss all steam. It's insulting that theses guy couldn't even get one program in a singles title picture.

Rock was transcendent superstar, but he even was so freaking close to being sabotage by HHH and HBK.

This is after Riskishi admitted running over Austin and said he did it for the Rock because he wasn't the great white hope and had color in him...tried to make it seem like he was responsible for the Rock's success and used color as that reasoning for running down Austin.

Little ass short order cook fans in here clapping like hoes at a Chris Brown concert:laugh:
