The Rock has been one of the main attractions on WWE TV lately. With his return to weekly programming, he has brought a new flavor to the shows. Recently, on SmackDown, The People’s Champion delivered a bold promo by addressing himself as a brand new moniker. He called himself ‘The Final Boss’. Now, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has accused the TKO board member of stealing the respective moniker.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, the former world champion stated that there is a chance of copyright infringement with The Rock using the ‘The Final Boss’ moniker. Booker T revealed that situations like these can be lethal, which might boggle the company itself. However, being at the corporate head of the table at TKO allows him to do whatever he wants.
Last time, you know, something like that went down they gave me a phone call you know, what I mean. You know, is it cool this time they didn’t give me a call on us? You know Rock though, he feel like you know since he on the Board he can do what he want he pretty much do what he want to do.Booker T on The Rock
The Hall of Famer also added that he might go for legal action against the superstar for using the moniker of ‘The Final Boss’. However, the former world champion has left space for negotiation. Although he didn’t make it clear when and where he used the moniker before.
Booker T was the last WCW World Heavyweight Champion under the banner of the promotion before it was sold. Therefore, it is possible that the moniker came from that. Furthermore, the WWE Hall of Famer has allegedly accused The Brahma Bull of having an influence on his power backstage. Recently, the Hollywood Star was also called out by LA Knight for taking an undeserving credit as well.
Bully Ray reveals the reason for The Rock getting a babyface reaction
Last week on SmackDown, The Rock delivered his iconic concert while absolutely decimating Cody Rhodes with his words. Despite being a heel, the superstar was receiving the reaction of a babyface. It made a lot of people wonder what was going on around them. However, Bully Ray has taken the matter into his own hands to educate fans on why the People’s Champion was being treated as the hero of the story.
While speaking on the Busted Open Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer said that during the first few seconds of his promo, the Hollywood Star stood tall on his moniker of ‘The People’s Champion’ as he called the city of Memphis his home. It led to the people of the city developing a sense of relatability with the superstar, which can be seen throughout the promo.
It’s impossible not to cheer for The Rock … Rock very rarely says ‘I’m home,’ so now he’s referring to Memphis, TN as ‘home?’ Anything he says after that is gonna get a babyface reaction.Bully Ray on The Rock
The former Tag Team Champion has called it an impossibility after such heartwarming remarks to ‘boo’ the superstar. However, such nice remarks didn’t mean that The Rock was nice all along. The newest member of the Bloodline went all out with his words, and he even went on to drag the beloved mother of The American Nightmare into the mix.
