[@fatalsniper3413]

What else is The Rock going to say? But let’s be real… people are jealous backstage and that’s how it’s always been and will always be when a part timer gets preferential treatment. Not everyone is jealous though

[@imdikonps4396]

​@@fatalsniper3413when the get as over or as big as the rock they get the lead way he gets he Biggers then wrestlemania but I agree certain people could be jealous but it ain't gonna be no low card mid carder it's mostlikely gonna be a top guy but the Rocks always gonna be bigger then them. But at the end of they day whether rock knows it or not and he probibly know it this is gonna or already has gotten Cody months shit should motivate them to be bigger stars if it wasn't the Rock it would have been Punk Rocks not the problem jealous is the problem

[@juicyeboi9006]

​@@brettt141which is silly because it makes more sense to only have certain people swear. Then it's more special. The Rock the week before his Wrestlemania main event means more than anyone on the card on a random Dynamite.

[@Umega101]

@@juicyeboi9006 This. It's like bleeding ... IF you do color too much, it loses its effect. When it comes to swearing, keep it on the top guys only cause the effect is stronger. And let me explain something, the bigger draw a card pulls, the more money EVERYONE makes on the card. If only the top guys can swear like this, it creates a bigger buzz (here we are talking about it) and thus a bigger draw, and more money for everyone. Have everyone swear like AEW and well... what are their numbers compared to WWE again?

The only time Brian sides with Dave is when it's about The Rock...

[@darksideon]

Yep, He didn't even question if the story is legit.

[@nicup1737]

almost perfect. I think that his promo in Memphis (Rock concert) was too much of va babyface promo. He was acting too cool, made jokes (even about himself which is something a heel shouldnt do) and was sucking up to the crowd. He should have been more heelish.

[@KClouisville]

Especially annoying when he goes with some bullshit from Meltzer to prove a "point". He and Jim have spent a good part of the last 4 years destroying old Dave (and deservedly so)...but somehow he's got some insight now! Lol. He, Brian, was actually doing something similar when WWE wasn't doing as well in the "wrestling war" with AEW (though they were never really threatened)....Brian would still bring up WON stories and Meltzer bylines as legit journalism when it was shitting on WWE....it's like dude, you can't take the piss out of a guy 90% of the time, but then use him as some voice of authority when it suits your own agenda.

Just that I’ve managed to turn on 20 mins of wrestling for the first time in 25 years. I’d say that I’m almost interested in watching WrestleMania. Maybe there are other “retired” fans that are putting their toes back in the water too. Maybe it’s a good start. I know all the drama behind the scenes with the big two has been far more entertaining than the actual product these last 3-4 years.😅

Brian dies a little more inside the more The Rocks return succeeds. Get over it Brian. It’s working.

He can't accept everyone doesn't hate The Rock like he does. Cody Crybabies can't handle it

[@ConcreteRoseCJ]

Tonight’s RAW completely shits on this idea…they made everyone look like a star top to bottom…

[@zepherscotty]

Im sorry, why are people upset? The main event scene in both brands has been something i tune into every week. This hasnt been the case for nearly a decade for myself. They brough back people who stopped watching years ago.

[@AlexWazHere]

Same, haven't watched in years but seeing the rock everywhere peaked my interest and now I'm back in, Also a fan of rhea.

[@michaelrandle7296]

Brian has been very negative toward the Rock and Cody lately, he's turning into Meltzer...

[@ricardohester9512]

If this is the last ride for the rock..I just wanna say thank you..

[@newwaveknight1]

The IWC: "Hey Tony, Meltzer gave the WWE the Promotion of the Year award." TK: "DAMMIT, WHYYYYYYY?! DID I DO SOMETHING TO UPSET YOU, DAVE?! 😭😭😭" The IWC: "Hey Dwayne, Meltzer has a problem with your cursing." The Rock: "What the fuck is a Meltzer?"

[@maynardthegreat]

Brian’s too sour on rock. Not only is he doing great stuff but we gotta remember he’s doing this heel work to put Cody over as an even bigger baby face. I mean Cody has achieved genuine OVER “white meat baby face” in a way we haven’t seen since Cena and Rock is just helping making it bigger and better

[@tobiasrieper384]

The Rock is a heel, he’s swearing constantly and Cody was bleeding during that brawling segment. I feel like a kid all over again.

I love the conspiracy that Rocky is intentionally pushing his weight around as a “fuck you” to HHH for his years in the Kliq - even though Im pretty sure Rock and HHH never had any issues outside of the ring.

[@kant5696]

They were competitive co workers in their day but they are definitely cool with each other. People just like dirt sheet lies

[@zemm9003]

Rock's issue, if there was any at all, was with Shawn Michaels. I find that hard to believe though given that he is now happily training Rock's relatives on NXT. Between HHH and Rock there was at most professional jealousy which is not necessarily even a bad thing, to assume there was any real heath is a HUGE assumption, probably just another baseless rumor started by Meltzer.

[@TheJapan38]

Can you imagine the guys that draw money have different rules?!

[@maceomaceo11]

[@jasongulino5144]

Brian is about to have a nervous breakdown if JC fails to bury someone. It’s getting a little sad.

[@jamesmiller5331]

Dave Meltzer is going to do everything he can to try to sew discord within the roster. Just like is KZbin channel right now is trying to help push the Jack Perry worked shoot angle meanwhile when Cody / The Rock did theirs WON put out a video titled "They want you to believe it's real!" Or something like that. You know what it is 🤷‍♂️ it's not like it's a secret

[@WarGhoulKharas]

Meltzer: "Jericho elevates everyone he's in the ring with. He gave Hook too much offense." Also Meltzer: "They spent too much time on The Rock!"

[@BobHowler]

Is it a double standard if your biggest star is allowed to do more than other people? Isn’t that just one of the standards within showbiz? (If you’re the star, you have more sway than people that aren’t).

[@trevorlahey4178]

Yes that’s the definition of a double standard

[@BobHowler]

@@trevorlahey4178it has to be more than that though. It has to be that it is definitely unfair, otherwise it’s just having more than one standard - which we have all over the place.

[@christosanagn.9041]

Meltzer is out of his mind. Just two weeks ago Pat McAfee was on commentary calling Cole an "asshole" and making remarks such as "he's ready to explode". Pretty tongue in cheek, if you ask me, but if the Rock is an issue by being a bit more "shocking", then so is McAfee, as well as everybody else making "tiny balls" jokes on the Miz for the past year etc. etc. They are trying to create drama just for headlines and I guess we should treat it like it really is, gossip.

[@davidravencroft9096]

Is there a reason Brian is so incredibly bitter about The Rock? Not liking him is one thing, but it seems like he saw Jim's 'fued' I guess, with guys like Russo or Omega and thought he needed one of his own.

[@WhooStew]

The Rock himself calling out this bs on Twitter is the icing on top.

[@Courtneylynntucker]

Their numbers increased dramatically across the board since the Rock’s return. Yes things were going well before he arrived, but you can’t deny the positive impact he’s had numbers wise and even in quality of the shows.

[@pepokiss]

These videos have to come out faster. 1 week after Raw is too long, especially with how great the stories have been. To have to wait a whole week to hear about the CM Punk shout out is torture!

[@DynastyIcon]

it won't take them a week to release the video you and others are waiting for.. calm down

[@moses0686]

They don't have a dedicated post production team in terms of the corny-casts. Brian has a bunch of shows they have to edit and by far the corny-casts are the longest.

[@pepokiss]

@moses0686 I know, but by the time the videos come out, new things happen. 1 week is a lot for these times. Ever since last year they started to get delayed, around the All In / Survivor Series period. Too many things going on, but now with WM... it's time to catch up

[@GraveMemories]

Its honestly shocking to see the tv networks shoot themselves in the foot Most of the world doesnt give a crap about cursing TV networks are already losing money due to things like hulu, max, etc Why would they want to appeal to the 1 percent while pissing off the 99 percent? If they want to stay in business, theyd allow more cussing on national tv The only people that would be offended are the elderly and the religious Why appeal to those 2 if youre running a pro wrestling tv show?

[@Clearmedium]

I'm pretty sure it has less to do with the TV stations wanting to do it that way, and more the FCC dictating the rules since they are still broadcast over the airways which is their jurisdiction. Hence why cable never had the same restrictions since it is well... a cable and not over the air. www.fcc.gov/enforcement/areas/broadcast-obscenity-indecency-profanity

THANK YOU JIM!!! It is horsesh*t. "Oh Vince Showed Favortism" Yeah sure he did,if you proved you can get over and make money,and bring in viewers,he used you. Why WWE has been the number one company for 30 years. Also The Rock has enough power to tell HHH what to do when as much as any of us do. Him being on the board of directors is as ceremonial as ceremonial as can be. TKO can get the attention of having The Rock on their Board Of Directors and he can be The Rock in movies. The Rock isn't going to any board of directors meetings.
