THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

What about The Rock character was Samoan or black? Any ethnicity could have played that character so acknowledging his families history does nothing for the character. He could have done the same thing as Rocky Miavia and Rocky Miavia would still suck

what does that have to do with anything?

If I may ask

Agree 100%. It’s a good point about Samoans in wrestling too….he’d be a fool not to acknowledge his families legendary history in the business.

So it was said that some of The Rocks success was attributed to his families history and my point was that his lineage had nothing to do with the character itself. That character has been used over the years Jesse Ventura, Superstar Billy Graham, etc... Just repackaged for a particular generation. Sure behind the scenes lineage may have helped but what about The Rock's lineage ever got his character over?

Take the Roman Reigns character. This is the most he's been over since the Shield, but he is using a lot of his lineage for his character

That was my point it didn't, until he joined Nation of. Then after he became hot he moved slower and slower to phasing out anything that resembled black, and moved into being all Samoan. Someone earlier posted a bunch of clips of this

He really didn't have anything black while being apart of the Nation. Everyone had some kind of Red, Black and Green on their ring attire. If memory serves he only had black trunks.

I think we are making the same point, but it was me that posted clips of him acknowledging his Samoan lineage throughout Hollywood. Which I have no problem with, just don't tell me this is a black man when saying he was the first black WWE champion.

The CLOSEST he is getting to play "black" is the Black Adam character and that is actually Northern African and people in that region define themselves as Caucasian since Jesus comes from that region
