WWE are real dicks about this sort of thing sometimes.

 

This is undoubtedly true. As I've stated haven't watched raw in years so I heard kinda that some fans got kicked out for cosplaying old stars including one that with a bit of a currently strained relationship with WWE but, were later allowed back in and the Rock said what exactly?

The fans are just celebrating their fandom. Seems incredibly stupid for WWE to take offense to that stuff.

 

They never miss an opportunity to romanticize the Attitude Era, how over everyone was, and how hot the crowds were - but a crucial piece of that puzzle was allowing the fans to express themselves (the signs, the chants) and more importantly - the INTERACTIONS.

 

I know the catchphrases and sing-along style promos reached a point of overkill eventually, but early on? The fans were eating that stuff up.

And it's practically come full circle. Some of these fans are BEGGING for interaction. They want to be included. They want to be involved with the show.

 

When they're outright ignored or bored to tears, then yeah. They "hijack" or cook up chants to entertain themselves. Why not cut it off at the pass and address it head-on?

 

That's all Rocky was doing. The guy's a pro. He's from a time, a place, and an era that EMBRACED that stuff. There's a reason those guys were so over. They weren't standing in the ring, reciting monotonous dialogue for twenty minutes.

 

Rocky's got a lot on his plate. I could easily see him rolling his eyes at this and just being passive aggressive enough to let WWE know they can fuck off if they expect him to "dial it back" whenever he shows up to give them a rub.

That's the biggest thing, it feels like everyone is saying it but, it's so true that wrestling needs guys that are bigger stars than WWE it's self so they can feel special and actually draw in an audience.
