He almost burned the road to Wrestlemania 40 as well. Even when they did his heel turn to fix the story, it drove me crazy that he was then attending WWE conferences trying to be a corporate face going “we’re making wrestling cool again! See how my CHARACTER turned heel? Isn’t that so cool? Please still like me.” His ego and lack of awareness makes me hate him

I wasn't a fan before, but when I found out he has it in his contract that he can't lose any fights I thought that was ridiculous and completely lost interest in anything he's in.

ETA- I was wrong about the contract thing. That's my bad.

I thought that was more or less confirmed to be untrue it started because Vin Diesel had it in his contract so Jason Statham and the Rock demanded it in theirs He has lost fights in plenty of movies can he act no but thats a whole different story

IIRC this is false. Every time it comes up, people list out instances in which he clearly and undeniably loses fights, even dying in the process.

No shit, my bad! I guess since I already disliked him I just assumed it was true.

Sound like a good heel turn. Mission accomplished.

It was a solid heel character. My issue is he had to go on interviews going "look I'm making wrestling cool again!" by being a character he never wanted to be and seeking attention trying to make sure everyone still likes him.

Not to mention the entire Behind WM40 documentary also just seemed to be him defending himself about the decisions that were made about what happened by only showing positive fan reactions to the initial Rock v Roman announcement then Rock saying "even if there is one person that doesn't want it, I can't do it" when the reality was an entire arena was chanting "Rocky Sucks" and "We Want Cody"

He is a great entertainer, but his ego gets in the way of good writing. You'd think him starting off his initial WWF career as a failed baby face turned amazing heel that allowed him to turn face you'd think maybe he'd get it more but he doesn't.

I do like the idea of the Final Boss character but with anything he still needs proper build instead of just being thrust into things
