>>7384876Rikishi wasn’t around when Rock finally became a major Hollywood commodity after lucking out on FatF movies in 2011. Rock was throwing whatever to the wall to see what stuck before then.
Tamina is put on silent because they don’t want people digging too deep into Jimmy Snuka shit. Like David Benoit, she’s one of the few people hurt by her name. Nia took the dominant female spot instead despot being a botchy shitter constantly giving others injuries and ONLY got the boot because she wouldn’t take the Vaxx and they had no choice.
This is the era of nepotism and Rock is the one anchor WWE has into the mainstream. They aren’t losing it. Reigns is the single most protected star in wrestling history due to his link. No one else has been this protected from failure, no one has had as many coronations into the main event to establish him as face of the company.
The entire roster was buried for a decade to either prepare for or prop up this guy and now he’s the only act left anyone can really invest in.
