I fully understand why Shawn Michaels was an a--h-le in his prime.

As a sexy boy myself, we get a lot of hate. Mainly from guys cuz we bring out their insecurities. We steal the aura of every room we enter so the guy who last had the aura gets jealous and envious. He wants his spot back. It ain't easy being genetically gifted. You seen how Jeff Bezos girl was looking at Leo? Some shit you just can't buy in life.

I definitely think I had that Stone Cold shirt back then or something similar! But these clothes were so cool back then! Amazing looking back at them now

What do you think about The Rock’s transition from WWE to Hollywood in early 2000s?

He didn’t wrestle much as Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Triple H or Undertaker. Rock supposedly win WrestleMania 17’s main event if his Hollywood work weren’t existed. Instead, he put himself over Austin at Mania 17, he did it again at next RAW, and he disappeared for a few months. Choosing Hollywood over WWE cost his second loss to Stone Cold at WrestleMania, and he didn’t care and he went that way.

He disappeared for a few months in 2002 too, in between April-June again, just like he did in 2001. 2000 is the last year of The Rock appeared at matches of April-June. Then he returned, won WWE title at Vengeance 02, then he left WWE after SummerSlam 2002. And, fans were cheering Lesnar and booing Rock at that match, because they knew he will left WWE for Hollywood again.

We see Rock is not like what he used to be in 2003-04. He appeared barely in ring. And WWE forgot renew his contract in 2005 because he already became a Hollywood guy.

We see The Rock prioritized Hollywood over WWE, because as some people said, Hollywood offers more money with less injury risks. And it made sense why he chose this path. If he were chose wrestling, he would be end up like Kurt Angle or Edge, who are suffered from injuries so badly and ended up with either retirement or going to a less active wrestling corporation for wrestling.

So, what do you think about The Rock’s choice? Did he make a good decision by choosing Hollywood over WWE?

Why is The Invasion timeline not part of Attitude Era? It's literally the same vibe.

There's always a huge chunk of guys that say they tuned out by this time, which never made sense to me as a wrestling fan. Why would you tune out after all the WCW / ECW guys start coming in which just made things 100x more interesting? You mean the same guys from attitude era are still around and in their primes but its not attitude era? Oh.
