A Challenge to All the Rocks Fans...

Well duh that was a Hogan moment. He was too selfish to put over Austin so instead he choose the Rock where he if he lost to Austin it would be all about Austin but for Rock it wouldnt be all about Rock (its kinda hard to get what Im saying so I hopes someone gets it).

Wait...you are blaming the Attitude Era for today's Bubblegum Era? The problem with today's WWE is they are trying too hard to reach out to the general & non-wrestling fans. The Rock just automatically brought those demographics to the WWE.

They were trying that hard back then. When the Rock and Stonecold proved popular, they pushed them to main event status and made everyone else follow to get that demographic. Which is why we got storylines about adultery, gunplay, and transgenders during the Attitude Era. To grab those demographics who were interested in what everyone was interested in the 90s.

As for the reaction Hogan got from Wrestlemania against Rock? It's Toronto! They boo & cheer everything opposite there. You do know Toronto's nickname is bizarro-land. If it was anywhere else The Rock would have been the clear favorite.

It's like they cheer people they like over people WWE push them to cheer.

Also, blaming the Attitude Era for today's Bubblegum Era is inaccurate. The Attitude Era was a freak thing. The Attitude Era has nothing to do with the problems of today's WWE. Today's WWE era just doesn't have the talent of what the Attitude Era had to carry the product like it used to. WWE is desperate today as they need all the help they can get to get the ratings they used to have back in the day of the Attitude Era.

As I mentioned, the diminishing of titles, the main focus on the storylines over the wrestling, the fact they screwed the last generation of fans to get the newest. You didn't counter any of these.

This whole deal is a cycle. I'm sure they will bring some attitude back once this election dies off. After all, wasn't Hogan more or less bubblegum in the 80's with the "Say your prayers and take your vitamins" promos?

Hogan was the definition of bubblegum (Cena isn't that far behind). But that era is called The Golden Age Era.

Actaully, Austin & Hogan had personal issues between one & another well before the WWE let alone Austin never wanted to work with Hogan. Believe it or not, Hogan was willing to do a storyline with Austin in the WWE but Austin refused. Also, when the whole NWO thing started to kick in the WWE, The Rock was pretty much the face of the WWE. Austin wasn't the top guy for the company. Austin was on top from 1997 to around 2000 then The Rock took over from 2000 to 2002/2003. The Rock vs. Hogan match was suppose to be a passing of the torch kind of thing because at the time The Rock was suppose to lead the WWE for the coming years but we all know how that turned out (sadly).


P.S. If The Rock would have stuck around the Attitude Era would have continued much longer. After The Rock left the Attitude Era died with him & WWE's direction changed. The Rock would be the face of the company still. Cena wouldn't be the guy he is now.
