I've kind of realised this thing has had nothing worthy of note, to myself, or to my main readers based in Tasmania, Swaziland and most importantly Madagascar. Just so you know though, this week has mostly consisted of handing in shit portfolio work, listening to Kirsten Dunst on repeat and sticking my knob in a blamange.
I'm just going to use this to talk about wrestling. Predominantly promos but there's always room to open up. I won't lie to you, I've always enjoyed it, even now at 21 it's entertaining to watch a couple of men acting 'real tuff' whilst Jim Ross reaches the point of orgasm, but I believe a promo can be there for anyone to enjoy. Hang around, wait on me. All you need is a sense of humour and you can disregard the wrestling elements almost entirely.
I'll say this now. The greatest wrestler on the mic was The Rock. Or Dwayne Johnson as he likes to actually be called nowadays, what with a 'credible' acting career and having such a fun time on Hannah Montanna and Corey In The House. You go, Rocky. You fucking go.
He (along with Steve Austin) was the box office attraction of the Attitude era. Every time the guy was in front of a microphone you couldn't ask for a more charismatic man to run off his mouth, face or heel. It doesn't matter what you think! He could work the crowd and within a second they'd feel the connection between themselves and the jabroni beating, pie eating, trail blazing, eye brow raising, the best in the present, future and past, and if ya'll don't like me you can kiss the people's ass!
It's hard to think of anyone in the future who'll be able to walk into the ring with as much panache as him. To put it short, nobody in the history of the business has such a natural ability to deliver line after line, laugh after laugh, eyebrow after eyebrow. It's just a shame he called quits so early. Now for the PR0M0 OF T£H W33K.
The Rock insults the people of Toronto. This is The Rock's best heel promo. It's been common for awhile now for heel's to cut really really fucking solid promos with a Canadian audience ever since the infamous Montreal Screwjob, and this here is no exception. Moment after moment, time after time he just goes out there and has a good 10 minute long tirade. Brash, arrogant, egotistical and just naturally funny. It's a perfect representation of what a heel character should be all about, not just a limited ring skillset of punts to the skull.
So, watch and enjoy whilst I write another small failure in the process. I've also just realise from the above photo how much he can look like Kima Greggs from The Wire. There's another point, just watch that and abandon every other television show you've had an interest in, cause it just won't be as good.
