ROCKY SUCKS Hello, my name is Greg, and I have a problem. You see I've always been somewhat in the "norm" among wrestling fans. As times change, and as attitudes change in wrestling, I've always kept up with the pace. Sometimes I've been way ahead of the bell curve. I was a Jericho fan back when he was a face in WCW, I think the WWF product is far superior to the WCW one, I think Chris Benoit is one of the best workers in the business, although entertaining I think Rob Van Dam is mainly a high spot machine, and I think the Big Show is a fat overrated piece of crap. You see, I do have many of the same attitudes as you all do. That's what makes it so hard to vocalize this revelation I made tonight while watching Summerslam. I've come to a revelation that spits into the face of nearly every wrestling fan, mark or smart. I've come to the revelation that... Dare I say it? Oh what the hell....THE ROCK SUCKS! Yes, I'm talking THE Rock. Rocky Maivia, one of the same. You know, the "most electrifying man in sports entertainment"? Of course you do. Now however he's known to me as simply Rocky, the man of 3 moves. He's now known to me as Rocky, the sloppy match, kick and punch, king of catchphrases, and flavor of the year. He's now known to me as the "most overrated man in sports entertainment". Sure, he's funny. Sure he's great on the stick. Sure he had to drag Billy Gunn's overpushed ass all over the target center. That however doesn't change the facts that during The Rock's recent push (and I'm talking the past 6 months here), The Rock has evolved from a promising talent into a one trick pony. Come out, lay out a catchphrase, punch and kick for about 10 minutes, and then lay down a couple patented moves for the pin. Hell this guy is "Road Dogg" Jesse James with a bigger push. You don't believe me? You think The Rock's got a powerful aresenal? Really? Let me count....um, there's the Samoan Drop, the float over DDT, a Rock Bottom, and an elbow. Wow, you know, you're right that is impressive. He's right up there with the likes of The Ultimate Warrior, and Sid Vicious. What a wrestler indeed. I know, I know, this is the era of sports entertainment. It's not about in ring skills. Hell, it's not even about wrestling anymore. It's about action adventure storyline driven entertainment Greg. Get with the times man? This isn't Great Sasuke/Benoit for chrissakes? Right? Wrong. Give me something more than the slop that The Rock is dishing out. Give me some wrestling. Give me something more than microphone skills. Otherwise sit behind the damn announcers table and look pretty. Give me something tangible to like. Prove to me that you're anywhere near the wrestler that Austin ore even Jeff Jarrett is. Those two have forgotten more wrestling than you've shown in your career. Prove to me that your worthy of the push you've received. I'll be waiting, but I won't hold my breath. Until then the fans will still chant your name in my mind... "ROCKY SUCKS, ROCKY SUCKS...."
