Has character creation in WWE2k games always been slow as shit? I don't know about this things.

Last wrestling game I played extensively was this.

The more advanced they made it the longer it started taking. It's nowhere near as fun as the throwing stuff together in something like No Mercy.

For those that love detail I'm sure it's great. I barely use CAW anymore and just download other people's creations.

Good for Rock with his success, but I really frown at that kinda aw shucks "I started with $7, you can do it too" nonsense.

Without the lineage that he has, WWF never happens and he's just a really charismatic office worker or something, and not everyone is privy to the circumstances he was basically gifted by Vince. I can't deny that he took the ball and ran with it, but I know lots of people with $7 who say some real insightful shit and they still just have $7. So no, they can't do it too. Not without a lot of help.

I'm sure there's a certain aspect of the show attracting a certain kind of die hard fans

I watched some and I'm not die hard by any means.

There are a few amusing moments. Mick Foley rants in his Santa costume and spits out his teeth. His younger sons mock the drunk people at Mick's comedy show. The wife has a creepy doll collection that was hopefully created just for this program.

I stopped at episode three. But I expect the show will settle down into a comfortable routine of punchlines about Frank the clown, guest stars, and Noelle wearing workout gear.

Seems fair. Not everyone has a Vince McMahon giving them a shot.

Triple H is still waiting for him to come back crawling, begging for another chance.

Rock's just a smart dude who knows how to appeal to the vacuous, materialistic hellscape that is social media self-promotion. I'm sure he realizes that he had his breaks and some big ones at that but that doesn't play so well into MUH BOOTSTRAPS ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE screaming hashtags at the side of your latest dodgy supplements endorsement photo (a general Instagram thing, not a Rock thing).

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.

It's like a cycle. You have people that look incredible on Instagram with massively long posts about working hard/success, when in fact they need those posts to be successful themselves because being fit alone doesn't do diddly. You need followers and endorsements.

"You see this great ass? Work for and it and drink MyoPlexFitProX."

Yeah, #IOnlyHad7DollarsThenIRememberedMyDadWasAWrestlerSoIMadeACallToGetTrainedThenStillWorkedHardButThatLittleBreakMadeEverythingYouCanDoItTooDependingOnYoDaddy isn't a great hashtag

I'm happy for Nikki to come back as a top face after putting in the work to return from injury. She deserves it. The fans appreciated her returning. She's not bad in the ring. She tries. And who knows how long how her body will hold up.

Plus she has the best entrances.

Has any celebrity ever inspired you do do anything?

Self motivation is the only way I've ever done anything. It's never been, "If it wasn't for so and so, I wouldn't be where I am now"

Have I bought the workout Encyclopedia by Arnold, or a DDP yoga etc? Sure. We all need knowledge and some kind of instruction to get started.

But for me it's never been more than, "Fuck, I need to get and shape and have some decent health and looks."

Nope. It's been the opposite for me. I've seen people get cut down from cancer in their 20s and I'm like "Absolutely nothing matters when you get down to it. I'm riding til the end, but I'm not controlling this ride at all."

I'm perfectly fine with Nikki being top face. SD PPV cards would look too good otherwise and when else would I go for a piss?

Oh wait, The Miz. Nah, I'd rather have Becky on top.

Nepotism doesn't sell apparently. Neither does talking about a previous career in the CFL.

No, its all bullshit to me. Just do it is the greatest marketing slogan of all time for a reason. Cos, just fucking do it.

But he, the cult of personality is strong and none of us are particularly innocent of being involved in it. Some people just tend to get really wrapped up in it.

If I gave a shit about my surroundings, i'd be a crossfit sheep by now. But I don't, I just eat well and walk a lot and I don't see the need to go to the gym

I wouldn't be able to do crossfit even if I wanted to. Just not durable enough. And that's fine. I do what I can and I know what I can do at my own pace. The heart rate monitor tells me I'm working hard so I'm not just fooling myself either. My session is basically a mix of every physically therapy exercise I have ever learned. Shit from shoulder, to knees, to my back. Luckily I've at least been able to fix myself with that alone.
