After years The Rock finally confirms there were a "handful of guys" who tried to ...

[sonic9]

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently revealed on Confessions Of The Hitman that The Rock was subject to backstage bullying from members of The Kliq and that several wrestlers "tried to break The Rock" and get him to quit the pro wrestling business.

While recalling his first-ever meeting with The Undertaker on WWE Network's Meeting The Undertaker special, The Rock confirmed the story that some members of the locker room didn't want him to capture his first WWE Championship at Survivor Series 1998.

"This is stuff I've never shared but I do want to share it because it's important," said The Rock. "When I started to make the move [up the card] and word got around that the office was priming me for a WWE Championship run, there were a handful of guys in the business at the time who did everything they could to stop that run from happening."

The Great One revealed that The Undertaker had his back during those trying times.
"He was always so steady, telling me, 'Don't worry about it, kid. Just go out and keep doing your thing. You have a hell of a future.'"

The Rock, who reached the top of the wrestling business in his mid 20s, also revealed that he would constantly get questions about his age from The Undertaker.

"He would always ask me, 'you hit 30 yet?' Every time, I would said 'no' and he'd be like, 'oh, s**t. One day, you will and your bones will be sore.'"

"I always appreciated that about Mark. It spoke volumes about his integrity and love for the business. And I'll always be grateful for that," he added.

Probably not an accident a dream match between The Rock and HBK never happened.

He has class. He won't air that out publicly, especially all these years later. Everyone knows who it was.

yeah it was hhh and hbk

remember when the rock won the ic title by countout or something screwy? hbk pushed for bret to feud with the rock for the belt suggesting that bret would legitimize the title and the rock at the same time --meanwhile it would keep bret away from the world title scene. that did not happen obviously

[ChristmasFnatic]

Obviously Rikishi.

Back then I read the dirt sheet. I was wrestling obsessed. In 98 it was reported by all the journalists At the time that it was Triple H, and The New Age Outlaws. But Dwayne had the support of Holly, Bradshaw, faarooq, Henry and Taker. Yeah though it the juicy gossip at thr time that Triple H and Rest of DX we’re jealous of his reactions. They couldn’t let the “die Rocky die!” And “Rocky sucks” days go iirc. Foley thought Rocky was a nice guy but lacked that it factor and even said wwf should wish him well in his future endeavors.

[Evil_D]

boohoo you phaggot.
Welcome to the real world.
Haven't worked in a single workplace where I didn't experience bullying, some worse than others.

Did any of those guys have any clout at the time in WWF besides Taker? Simmons was a veteran but had only been there a little over two years at that point. Ever hear anything on how P.S. Hayes felt about the Rocks push? He doesn’t have the best rep when it came to the blacks

PM me who's been bullying you. I swear on me mums, I mek them humbel.

[LiftBigEatBig]

We gotta assume Shawn was the ring leader that's why Rocky gave Trips the pass. They worked alot together in the late 90's.

[Evil_D]

You hit 30 yet?

lol.
I must have a pretty good judge of character, because Taker was always #1 to me.

Not if Sasha Banks vs Bayley is Evil_D’s top pick for best feud in 2020. Didn’t you say you were a fan of bayley since she turned heel? The segment where she took an axe to those inflated bayley buddies?

[DarthCholo]

I would imagine it's called competition. People are not going to willingly give up their spots all friendly. Modern times the term "bullying" Is probably used liberally too much to any time somebody doesn't like you.
