And who needs to write his lines on his wrist.

And was never any more than a catchphrase monkey. The best promos he did were stuff like Y2J's debut and that isnt because Rock was good at catchphrase number three and five when he turned up. Rock's entire bit was copied by Edge for a few years then Edge realised you need to move beyond catchphrases to be great and that is what he did. Half of the current roster can out-talk Rock on a great day, one of them has barely been on TV and he is already better consistently.

What kind of bizarro competition is this where people are seemingly measuring quality by the amount of idiots who scream when you say ****? Cos Stone Cold is way better when it comes to that!

The Rock is a hack and I hope he breaks his promise to never leave as often as possible. That way at least the capacity for people to delude themselves into thinking he is amazing can be explained by nostalgia instead of what I can only assume is a cocktail of paint fumes and meth.
lol

At least his prior statement about Andre the Giant's perceived greatness being based purely on him being tall has been usurped in ridiculousness.

I think it was El Kabong's guarantee of a Flair victory that doomed this.

Assuming all five still would have placed a vote, Flair would have had to pull at least four of five to switch the result. I mean it's possible it would have swung it, but it's unlikely.

FWIW I would have voted for Rock, so it's very unlikely the third option made any difference. Rock is the GOAT on the mic.
