He Speaks: The Rock Responds To News Of Issues With His Promos

He’s real. The Rock has changed the course of WWE in recent weeks after a surprise return which has seen him around more often than he has been in years. That is the kind of thing that can be a huge deal for WWE as the Rock is a talent you do not see very often. This time around, the Rock has been cutting some rather intense promos, but some people are not pleased. Now the Rock has something to say to them.

The Rock has made a new post to Instagram, quoting a line from his promo on this week’s SmackDown, where he said that a fan sounded “like somebody the Rock can love – Drunk and horny.” Rock said that the network’s “standards and practices” are unhappy with the language he has been using. However, Rock suggested that he would be continuing to speak in such a way, as he is trying to be real and “shoot from the hip”. There is nothing to suggest Rock will be punished for his language. This comes amid some wrestlers reportedly having issues with the Rock being held to a different standard when it comes to promos.

He’s been on a roll. Check out some of what the Rock has been saying:

Opinion: This makes sense from both sides, as the Rock is going to say things like this, though FOX might not be pleased. At the end of the day, the Rock is a big star and is probably going to be treated rather differently than others in WWE. While that might not be fair, it is certainly realistic and what is likely happening. It doesn’t seem like this is going to be a major issue, but it does seem to be at least something.
