WWE bosses Triple H and Vince McMahon were not happy with the Punk part of Rock's segment, according to PWInsider. The segment was not something WWE came up with or even approved. This was described as something Rock did "in the moment" for the crowd. It was also noted that it was clear to anyone near Vince and Triple H, especially Triple H, that they did not want this going on. Word was eventually sent from the back that Rock needed to wrap it up.
You've have to be an idiot to be surprised they weren't happy with it, but I don't really know why they would be so against it. You ignore the CM Punk chants they're going to get stronger. The fans chanting are total pains in the ass fake rebels who don't seem to care Punk left on his own accord, but Steph had that line back at them on Raw recently, where's the harm in this? It didn't break kayfabe, didn't mess with any copyright, didn't have any legal attachments, it wasn't even on air.
Not to sound like one of those attitude era marks but DX storming in WCW is one of the things about that time people remember most. They literally went in with a tank and tried to enter their competitor's event (may I motherfucking remind you HHH was leading that charge; one of the guy's angry at Rock right now). How is a phone call getting them riled up?
Vince: errrmmm Rock, I think you need to wrap this u.....
Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
Really though what are they actually going to do ? Bring Rock in and make him job to someone as punishment ? Put him in a mid card role as punishment ? Fine him ? Give him both barrels backstage ? No none of them as its fucking Rock and he can basically do whatever the fuck he likes and WWE management will sit there and take it with a moody expression upon their faces ???
This is purely fun for The Rock and I highly doubt he gives a fuck about the internal politics of the company or whatever crazy shit is running through the head of Vince McMahon.
He wants to entertain himself, and more importantly, the people who paid to have a good time. The show itself isn't doing a fucking great job of that right now, so somebody has to liven things up.
Nobody in the history of the business has had more mainstream success outside of the business. Austin and Hogan were in movies but they were never beloved movie STARS like my man.
Rock shows up and does segments because he loves the people. The peoples champ does not give two fucks about the back and I FUCKING LOVE HIM EVEN MORE!
To echo what I am sure has been said over and over in this thread already. Rock doesnt care, he knows they need him far more than he needs them at this point. From action movies to even kids movies now with Moana, dude is killing it in Hollywood.
They are so mad that he will only be allowed to ramble on for 20 minutes in a useless segment at WM this year instead of half an hour. And that't the Truth Ruth
The Rock could take off his pants and piss in the middle of the ring at this point. He does WWE a favor to be a part of this garbage show like it or not.
If Vince, HHH and Punk were not so full of themself they will sit on a table and talk about how to make the things work for a comeback cause one: CM Punk is still bigger wrestling name than most of the whole roster and two: he sucks at MMA
As if Rock gives two seconds thought to whether or not Triple H is pissed off about what he said. He can sweet talk Vincent and it's all good, but I guarantee all Rock cares about when he's out there is having a good time and entertaining the crowd. The true greats live for that shit, it's like a drug. The Triple H's of the world have always cared too much about looking dominant, having a million championships, going over everyone blah blah blah without much thought on actually being entertaining. Vince has had genius moments, but all he seems to care about is forcing his vision even when the crowd totally rejects it.
The Rock's of the world, the Austin's of the world, the Jericho's of the world....they understand it all better than anyone. It'll always be about entertainment, leaving a mark, doing something memorable.
Rock is probably laughing his ass off at the 'news' of Vince and Triple H being mad. Dude doesn't give a fuck.
