Honky Tonk Man Says WWE Had No Choice But to Bring the Rock Back

– The Honky Tonk Man recently spoke about the Rock’s return to WWE and why it was necessary to the company, his frustrations with how the company works these days and more. Check out the highlights:

On WWE bringing back the Rock: “I mean, there ain’t no stars anymore. Ain’t no stars anymore. People always tell me what’s wrong with the company. I say, ‘Well, when you have to have Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole as your semi-main events or your biggest angles on WrestleMania last year. Then you got to bring The Rock back and ‘Stone Cold’ [Steve Austin] back, you obviously have no stars on your roster. I mean, if you look at it logically; why’d they have to bring these guys back? You have no one there that’s worth a damn…. None of the championship belts mean anything. When you have to bring The Rock back and give him $10-20 million for WrestleMania, it just means that you have nobody on your roster that’s worth a sh–. Excuse my French or English or whatever, but that’s just how it is.”

On his frustration when he came back for an angle with Santino in 2008: “When I went back and did Cyber Sunday with Santino Marella, it was all scripted. Everything was written down on paper. You’ve got to study it like in Hollywood. It’s, like, ‘Man. Come on. I don’t need to study this stuff. I know what I need to do.’ You had to go out and rehearse it and say it that way. They start rehearsing and like two or three in the afternoon until five or six o’clock at night. Even coming through the curtain and coming down is all rehearsed. It’s, like, ‘Man, give me a break! I know how to walk down the damn aisle!'”
