The guy who beefed w/ Vin Diesel over the F&F franchise, trying to push his own weight and say into it, and refused to be portrayed as Shazam's villain because he wanted his own solo movie that eventually leads to him fighting Superman, which helped lead to the death of that movie franchise, doesn't have a fragile ego. Sure. The guy who calls himself "The People's Champion" ain't gonna take too kindly to being booed and hearing "Rocky Sucks" like it's 1996 again. |
Ironically, your attempt at irony ended up making the correct point. Neither does having a "beef" with Vin Diesel, nor turning down a role in a film called "Shazam" in favour of starring in another film, show that The Rock has a fragile ego. It's common for any successful celebrity, including those with high self-esteem (the opposite of a fragile ego) to turn down roles/jobs they don't want and to have feuds with other people. In fact, if you're talking about major celebrities with high self esteem, The Rock is probably someone who'd rank high on many people's lists.
Also, The Rock didn't just get booed in 1996, he was booed through 97, 98, and into 99, and again after his 2003 heel run. In fact, he began using the moniker "The People's Champion" in 1998 to make the crowds boo him harder.
Every wrestling fandom seems to have people like you--at least the ones I've come across. They can be filed as:
Fans who read and regurgitate what they think is inside information about wrestlers they claim to despise yet can't stop discussing.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
