肖恩·迈克尔斯直接回答了职业摔角最常见的假设问题之一。

晚上 7 点在布鲁克林与卡梅隆·安东尼一起发表讲话，迈克尔斯解释了为什么他和巨石强森之间的梦幻比赛从未在摔跤狂热大赛上进行过，他也毫不讳言原因。

“他不喜欢我，”迈克尔斯说。 “我认为在他任职的这些年里，摔跤界发生了一场大混乱，亨特和我对他做了一些事情，卑鄙之类的。所有这些都被夸大了。所有这些都不准确，但这些都是他年轻时被喂饱的。但后来，直到今天，我们相处融洽，我们谈论一些事情。”

迈克尔斯将这种敌意归因于洛克在职业生涯早期传递的错误信息，声称迈克尔斯和 Triple H 虐待了他。他坚决反驳这些说法，称它们不准确且夸大其词，同时承认这种看法在很长一段时间内影响了洛克对他的感情。两人已经过去了，迈克尔斯指出，他们今天相处得很融洽，并互相交谈。

即使个人问题早点解决，时间安排也可能导致比赛无法进行。当迈克尔斯从休养了几年的背伤中恢复过来时，洛克已经过渡到好莱坞，不再是 WWE 的全职成员。

“我想这就是每个人都希望看到的，”迈克尔斯说（H/T to WrestlingNews.co）。 “但当我回来的时候，他已经开始了他的好莱坞事业和类似的事情。”

尽管从未参加过比赛，迈克尔斯还是满怀钦佩地谈到了巨石强森。当被要求比较两者时，他毫不犹豫地推迟了。 “你要说什么？我的意思是，那个家伙进来了，我记得第一次在《周六夜现场》上看到他，我就想，天啊，这个家伙会成为一个巨星，”迈克尔斯说。

迈克尔斯还回顾了​​洛克早期的WWE生涯，当时他以洛基·约翰逊的儿子的身份被介绍给观众，但尚未被他迷住的观众却高呼“洛基糟透了”。

“当他第一次上场时，他听到了很多‘洛基糟透了’之类的口号。所以更衣室里总是有挖苦之类的东西，”迈克尔斯说。迈克尔斯表示，洛克对拒绝的回应最终决定了他的职业轨迹。 “他认识到了这一点，觉得你必须带着更难、更有侵略性的东西回来。然后他改变了这一点。在他这样做之后，他们让他加入了国家队，他真的开始从那里起飞。”

Shawn Michaels has given a direct answer to one of professional wrestling’s most frequently asked ‘what-if’ questions.

Speaking with Carmelo Anthony on 7PM in Brooklyn, Michaels explained why the dream match between him and The Rock never happened at WrestleMania, and he didn’t mince words about the reason.

“He didn’t like me,” Michaels said. “I think over the years that he’s had, there’s been a big feud in the wrestling business with Hunter and I doing things to him, being mean and things like that. It’s all been blown out of proportion. None of it was perfect, but these were things that he was fed a lot of when he was younger. But afterward, and to this day, we get along with each other, and we talk about things.”

Michaels blamed the feud on the misinformation given to Rock early in his career and alleged that Michaels and Triple H mistreated him. He strongly hit back at those accounts, calling them inaccurate and exaggerated, while acknowledging that this perception shaped Rock’s feelings towards him for a significant period. The two have since moved on, with Michaels noting that they still meet and talk with each other today.

Even if personal issues had been resolved sooner, time would have made the match impossible. By the time Michaels returned from the back injury that had sidelined him for several years, The Rock had already made the transition to Hollywood and was no longer a full-time presence in WWE.

“I think everyone would love to see it,” Michaels said. “But by the time I came back, he was pretty far along with his Hollywood career and things like that.”

Despite never having a match, Michaels spoke about the Rock with admiration. When he was asked to compare the two, he avoided the question without any hesitation. “What are you going to say? I mean, the guy came in, and I remember seeing him for the first time on Saturday Night Live and I was thinking to myself, Holy cow, this guy is going to be a huge star,” Michaels said.

Michaels also reflected on Rock’s early WWE performance, when he was introduced to the audience as Rocky Johnson’s son and received chants of “Rocky sucks” from the crowd, who had not yet sold for him.

Michaels said, “When he first got there, he was getting a lot of ‘Rocky Sucks’ chants and stuff like that. So there was always ribbing in the locker room and stuff like that.” According to Michaels, Rock’s reaction to that rejection ultimately defined his career path. “They recognized it and realized you had to come back with something tougher, something more aggressive. And then they changed it. And when they did that, and they put them with the Nation, they really started to take off from there.”

Randy Orton’s heel turn against Cody Rhodes on the March 13 episode of SmackDown set the stage for another interesting storyline coming to WrestleMania 42. Three days later, on the March 16 edition of Raw, Orton was shown on the phone with an unknown person, and the identity of that caller has become one of the most discussed mysteries in WWE at this time.

But I am saying busted open radio, WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer both offered their theories as to who was on the other end of that call. Bully Ray suggested two names from the Flair family, with Charlotte being his preferred choice.

“Who was on the phone with Randy? There’s no doubt it could have been Rick, and Rick probably said things to Cody that would blow Cody’s mind,” he said. “‘But I would be devastated if Charlotte couldn’t do the same, and no one would be able to see Charlotte coming. It would be very different, a new look.

“You want to talk about royals? You’ll have an Orton in the ring, you’ll have a Flair in the ring, you’ll have a Rhodes in the ring. That’s cool in itself. I like the idea of ​​you having Charlotte.”

The appeal of the Charlotte Flair scenario is obvious. His involvement would add a layer of surprise that Ric Flair’s appearance wouldn’t have at this point, given how often his name is linked to WWE storylines.

Charlotte’s alliance with Orton against Rhodes would also have its own history, given the Rhodes and Flair family’s long-running ties in the wrestling business. The optics of three generational surnames colliding at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas will carry real weight.

Could The Rock Be Randy Orton’s Secret Supporter?

Dreamer took a different direction altogether, pointing to The Rock as his candidate. “It’s a Tommy Dreamer conspiracy theory. I think The Rock is talking to Randy Orton. I mean, it happened when he said there’s another royal family, I’m fine. Is he talking to Cowboy Bob?

And like, I understand it. Your grandfather was a great charmer. Your father was a great charming man. But then I’m also trying to think, who is the other royal family? And that other royal is The Rock. It’s the only thing I can think of.”

The Milwaukee Bucks (26-31) are counting on Bobby Portis Jr. to bring energy every night, especially while the franchise’s key player Giannis Antetokounmpo is recovering from a calf injury. However, sometimes it is hard to turn off such intensity. The veteran forward remained locked-in during a historic and mysterious game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Earlier he was surprised with a young fan for 14 rounds finally won the battle With a rock, via MisterBabbleX account.

Luckily, the Bucks didn’t leave without Portis amid their endless head-to-head showdowns at Fiserv Forum. They gave a young girl a story to share with all of her friends and classmates, and they even took out the W. Additionally, the 2021 NBA champion helped his team earn a 118-116 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, continuing Milwaukee’s impressive February (8-3 this month). Overall, Portis had an incredible night.

When the 31-year-old breaks out the “crazy eyes” and takes the court, some might label him uneducated. Punching then-Chicago Bulls teammate Nikola Mirotic in the face in 2017 probably won’t help. However, the man clearly has a softer side. He was already a fan favorite, but after his hard-earned Rock, Paper, Scissors victory, Portis may have achieved legendary status in Cream City.

He aims to bring that same tenacity to Friday night’s contest against the inconsistent New York Knicks (37-22). Bobby Portis Jr. has been a key offensive spark plug for the team this season, averaging 13.2 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting an impressive 45.1 percent from 3-point range. He’ll try to keep his hot streak going in Milwaukee. Perhaps another fan will challenge him before the game.
