WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T Weighs In On The Rock’s Heel Performance: The excitement leading up to WWE WrestleMania 40 has been thrilling for fans because to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s recent comeback to the company and his subsequent heel flip. The conflict between Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline is the primary plot point going into the event, just like it was last year, but The Rock’s presence has added additional components. During The Rock’s recent “WWE SmackDown” serenade, remarks regarding Rhodes’ family became personal earlier this month. Johnson even called Rhodes’ birth a mistake.
WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T Weighs In On The Rock’s Heel Performance
- When WWE Hall of Famer Booker T appeared on “The Hall of Fame,” he was questioned if he thought The Rock had gone too far in his attacks on Rhodes in his promos. The “WWE NXT” pundit saw nothing wrong with anything Johnson stated.
- Everybody’s so sensitive these days,” Booker said. “I think that’s the problem, man. Everything can be made an issue because of the sensitivity level that we’re living in now, to where you can step on somebody’s toes when you’re really just having fun or you’re creating wrestling — you’re creating a story.”

- Booker compared the situation to watching a movie, with the viewers implicitly understanding that what they’re seeing is not real. The Rock is a character whose goal is to be hated, but Booker doesn’t feel that should extend to criticizing Johnson in real life for certain things he has said on TV and social media.
- “The Rock — right now, he’s entertaining … and he’s playing his role,” Booker continued. “His role is to go out there and get as much heat as he possibly can. When it’s time for you guys to love him again, you’ll love him, okay? But right now’s not that time.”
