The Rock says the current era of WWE should be called the “F**k That Era.”
While speaking with ESPN, the Final Boss said his current persona is breaking out of people’s expectations. He also blasted those who are calling this a return the “Attitude Era.”
The Great One said, “A lot of people have called this, ‘Oh, the Attitude Era is back. What I have called this era, excuse my language, the F*ck That Era. That’s what this means and that’s what the Final Boss means. You expect me to do one thing, you think it’s got to be like this, well f*ck that, I’m not doing it like that. The Final Boss isn’t doing it like that.”
He continued, “What’s also interesting is, what we have found is, the reason why people have gravitated towards Rock 10.0, Final Boss is, I’m able to say things that people want to say, that they can’t say. Let the Final Boss say it.”
The Rock will be teaming up with Roman Reigns to face off against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 (Night One).
The Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson, recently made a bold statement about the current era of WWE. In an interview with ESPN, he expressed his opinion that this era should be called the “F**k That Era,” rather than being referred to as a return to the “Attitude Era.”
The Attitude Era, which took place in the late 1990s and early 2000s, is often considered one of the most popular and influential periods in WWE history. It was characterized by edgier storylines, more adult-oriented content, and a rebellious attitude. Many fans have been comparing the current era to the Attitude Era due to its more unpredictable and unconventional nature.
However, The Rock disagrees with this comparison and believes that the current era should have its own identity. He stated, “What I have called this era, excuse my language, the F*ck That Era. That’s what this means and that’s what the Final Boss means. You expect me to do one thing, you think it’s got to be like this, well f*ck that, I’m not doing it like that. The Final Boss isn’t doing it like that.”
The Rock’s current persona, which he refers to as Rock 10.0 or the Final Boss, is breaking out of people’s expectations and challenging traditional norms. He believes that his character allows him to say things that people want to say but can’t. He stated, “I’m able to say things that people want to say, that they can’t say. Let the Final Boss say it.”
This new era in WWE has been marked by a shift towards more unconventional storylines and characters who defy expectations. The Rock’s comments reflect the changing landscape of professional wrestling and the desire for authenticity and unpredictability.
In addition to his thoughts on the current era, The Rock also announced a highly anticipated match at WrestleMania 40 (Night One). He will be teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. This match is sure to be a highlight of the event and will showcase the talents of these four popular wrestlers.
The Rock’s comments have sparked a debate among fans about the direction of WWE and whether or not this era should be considered a return to the Attitude Era. Some agree with The Rock’s perspective, appreciating the fresh approach and the ability to push boundaries. Others argue that the Attitude Era was a unique period in wrestling history that cannot be replicated.
Regardless of where fans stand on this issue, it is clear that The Rock’s presence in WWE continues to make an impact. His charisma, talent, and willingness to challenge expectations have solidified his status as one of the all-time greats in professional wrestling.
As WWE continues to evolve and adapt to changing audience preferences, it will be interesting to see how this era unfolds and whether it will leave a lasting legacy like the Attitude Era.
