McMahon has not stayed in contact with WWE leaders, but has been in touch with John Cena and Dwayne Johnson, two of the wrestling outfit’s biggest success stories.

So that's where The Rock's the both sides / no Biden came from.

Makes a lot of sense. The Pebble is such spineless bitch.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Yeah that's why I got pissed that the Rock was brought in to WrestleMania. How are you gonna fight off the stink of Vince McMahon, by bringing in one of his best friends and biggest stooges? The Rock doesn't care that McMahon is a rapist, he'll take a bullet for him

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ugh I expect this out of the Rock, had higher hopes for Cena though

[–] steakmeoutt@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cena who openly apologised in Mandarin to the Chinese government for the crime of recognising Taiwan? That John Cena?

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That’s definitely not cool but he still worked for Vince at the time so I gave him the benefit of the doubt of just doing what he was told for his job, again that doesn’t make it right but it’s still different. Because now he ain’t beholden to Vince or the WWE if he doesn’t want to be, both are choices and one could’ve potentially been by compulsion. When you do 300+ make a wishes and I give you one mulligan on possibly not being a piece of shit

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Well Cena has defended Vince every time he's been charged with rape or sexual assault. He's a piece of shit.

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You are looking too much in to it. The rock is extremely rich and those people tend to vote republican 99% of the time.

What?

All he said was that hes can't endorse him again like he did in 2020...

He said he had friends who support Biden and trump, but then clarified he had friends who vote Democrat, but none of them were really fans of Biden.

Which is valid. There's not many people hyped to vote Biden because of Biden, they're voting D despite Biden because trump is worse.

Which is an accurate representation across a lot of demographics.

People don't really like Biden, which above all else is what makes him a bad candidate. Just like Hillary.

If Biden was a good candidate, it wouldn't have taken him 40 years to win his first Presidential primary.

Since when do you have to be a good candidate to become president of the united states?
