I'm probably gonna get alot of hate-mail from
any wrestling fans that visit this page, but hey, these are just my opinions,
and I do actualy have a reason why I hate these people so much. Ok,
let me re-phrase that sentence. It's not "These people" that I hate.
As people, I don't even know them, so I have no reason to hate them,
but as proffesional wrestlers, I HATE THEM!!!!!
The Rock.
In December 1997, after watching In Your House:
Degeneration-X, I turned to my friends and said: "This Rock, he's
gonna be the next maineventer". And all my friends turned around
and laughed at me. HA, WELL WHO'S LAUGHIN' NOW?
The thing is, back then, The Rock was good, his
interviews were catchy, and his matches consited more than three or four
moves.
Now however, the man gives the same boring interview
each and every week, and it goes something like this.
"You think it's funny to lay the Rock out,
you think it's funny to hit The Great One over the head with a chair?
Well, when you get in the ring with the most electryfying man in sports
entertainment, The great One, The Rock, is gonna lift the peoples eye brow
and BAM ROCKBOTTOM, BAM PEOPLE'S ELBOW, and The Rock says this, The Rock
says he's gonna lay the smackdown on your Roody Poo candy ass, he's gonna
take somethin' that you have, turn it sideways, and shove it up your ass,
if ya smell what the Rock is cookin'"
Scary isn't it, not only did I just detail every
promo the Rock's ever cut, but I also predicted every promo he's ever gonna
cut.
Still unsure as to why I hate "The Great One"?
This is a grown man that comes out with the word "Roody Poo", this a man
that tells every man he meets that he's gonna give them anal penetration
with their most prized possesions, and this is a man, that gets a thrill
'cos he can move his eyebrow.
Still unsure? Ok, here's the results of
every singles match The Rock has been involved in during the last year,
and every match he's ever gonna be involved in.
The opponent makes his way to the ring and waits
for The Rock to make a grand entrance. Rock gets to the ring and
is attacked by his opponent. "The Great One" fights back by punching
his opponent a few times, throwing him outside, into the ringsteps and
into the crowd. Rock with punches and kicks, his opponent fights
back as the get in the ring and begins an attack on the Rock with an array
of moves. After about five minutes, The "Brama Bull" fights back
with some more puches,spits on his hand and then slaps his opponent.
His opponent takes over again, and is ready to go for his finishing move,
but The Rock blocks it. The Rock whips his opponent off the ropes
and hits a somoan drop. Somebody interfers and gets Rockbottom.
The Rock then hits a Rockbottom on his opponent, nails the "People's elbow",
gets the win then Rockbottoms half the world and hits about five People's
elbows.
So, why do I hate The Rock? He has five moves in his arsenal, a kick, a punch, an elbow drop and two slams. "The People's elbow" is no better than Hulk Hogan's "Big Legdrop", one of his main selling points is his ability to raise his friggin' eyebrow, and his interviews include crappy, baby-words such as "Roody Poo". I also hate him because he is symbollic of everything that is bad about wrestling today. In my opinion, The Rock is not a wrestler, he's a celebrity who tries to wrestle every now and again. He shouldn't be in that awful song by Wycleff Jean, he shouldn't advertise friggin' Raviloli for cryin' out loud, what he should do, is learn how to wrestle.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Like The Rock, there was a time when I actualy
used to like Austin. In WcW, as part of the Hollywood blondes with
the late Brian Pillman, Austin was great. In EcW, he was incredible,
and in the WWF, at times, he was ok.
There are two reasons why I hate Stone Cold,
and one reason why I like him. I like the angles he produces, yet
I physicaly cannot bear to watch any more Steve Austin matches, and I hate
the fact that, like The Rock, Austin's becoming a bigger celebrity than
he is a good wrestler.
I suppose that one of the reasons I hate Austin
isn't realy his fault. His matches, which go along the lines of kick,
punch, kick, punch, stomp in the corner, Lou Thesz press, more punches,
kick, stunner, are so unberable thanks to a nagging nck injury that he;s
had for some time. As a person, I wish Steve Williams (That's the
guy that plays "Stone Cold"), but I will always remain in my opinion that
Steve Austin matches are tedious and predictable, and that my friends,
is the bottom line....
Hulk Hogan
One of the biggest things I hate in the entire
world is that when you mention wrestling to someone who isn't a fan, the
first thing they usualy say is: "Oh, Hulk Hogan". No DAMN YOU, NOT
HULK FRIGGIN' HOGAN!!. Hulk Hogan is given credit for the boom that
Proffesional wrestling recieved, for all the glitz and glamour, for Wrestlemania,
for everything that is (or at least was) proffesional wrestling.
But you see, I've watched wrestling for helluva
long time, I've seen the first Wrestlemanias, I've seen Hulkamania, and
to be honest, I don't think it's fair that Hulk Hogan was credited with
so much in wrestling from the early 80's to early 90's. Wrestlemania
wasn't Hulk's idea, neither was anything that came after it. Wrestlemania,
Hulkamania, the lot, was all the idea of Vince Mcmahon. (And before
you say anything, I'm not saying that Vince is god or anything like that).
All Hogan did was act as Mcmahon's marketing tool. I'm not saying
The Hulkster didn't do this well, I just don't think that people should
worship this guy for all "He" did for the world of wrestling.
I also cannot stand Hogan matches. Hogan's
move list goes as follows. Kick, Punch, Bodyslam, bearhug, big boot,
big legdrop.
