Before The Rock’s recent heel turn before WrestleMania 40, fans were divided, some even booing the WWE legend. D-Von Dudley sheds light on why this may be the case. According to Dudley, today’s fans, due to a generational gap, might not fully appreciate The Rock’s legacy and his impact during his prime.
Dudley highlighted the shift in fan reactions, noting, “You have some that are booing him, some that are cheering him. You know again, different time different era.” He emphasized that the current generation may not grasp the magnitude of The Rock’s stardom when he was at his peak, as they weren’t around to witness it firsthand. Dudley stressed the importance of adapting to changing times in the wrestling world.
In a candid interview, Dudley also commented on The Rock’s current performances, praising his maturity and heightened confidence levels. He mentioned that The Rock seems more relaxed and authentic in his recent outings, enjoying his craft without feeling restricted by scripts or directives. Dudley remarked, “A lot more mature. 10-times mature. Knows his craft and you can tell the confidence.”
While The Rock is presently inactive in WWE, there are speculations about his potential return before WrestleMania 41. As fans eagerly await his next move, it remains uncertain what the future holds for the iconic wrestler.
