I like how triple h and Rock are basically rivals yet respect each other :ehh:


Nah..Cripple H is just doing it because Rock saved some WMs and is in great standing...not to mention they have to say he's a partner in all usages of his merch, name, and whatnot. Cripple H went 7 years not talking about Rock, acting like that horrid Michaels feud was his best, and has constantly kissed Hogan's ass in interviews.

That guy was full of shyt. He kept questioning if the Rock was going to show up, even though the Rock had been there multiple times before. Rock has done interviews with BET, Essence, Ebony, and various other black media outlets. He was in a fukking Tyler Perry movie.....But some poor pathetic souls still want to act as if he doesn't "claim" his black side.
Bingo. Its pretty sad. Its one thing to not like the dudes movies, matches, or promos. But the hate he gets from people on this issue is ridiculous. Especially when there have been so many instances as you said that says otherwise. Dude has done all that you have said and them some.

Claudette Colvin (b. 1939) was a pioneer of the African American Civil Rights Movement. On March 2, 1955, she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, nine months prior to Rosa Parks.

Colvin was among the five plaintiffs originally included in the federal court case filed by civil rights attorney Fred Gray on February 1, 1956, as Browder v. Gayle, and she testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case in the United States District Court. On June 13, 1956, the judges determined that the state and local laws requiring bus segregation in Alabama were unconstitutional. The case went to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld their ruling on December 17, 1956. Colvin was the last witness to testify. Three days later, the Supreme Court issued an order to Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was called off.

Rosa was the public face, Claudette was part of the actual court battle that ended segregation. Two pronged system.
