THE ROCK
Host: How did Rocky change at this point really when he’s starting to move up the ladder? How did he change in the locker room?
Road Dogg: He never changed towards me. I always treated him with extra disrespect. I really did too. I made it a point to treat him with extra disrespect because I wasn’t gonna allow him to treat me the way he was treating other people in the way he acted and stuff.
I wouldn’t allow him to act that way because like I said I was putting him over (at that point) and getting him ready to start up here. So you got to remember your roots man. It’ll affect the money and power will affect your head but you’ve got to keep your feet on the ground. And if you don’t, you’re gonna fall back down to the ground and it’s gonna hurt.
Host: Was there a legitimate rivalry between him (Rock) and Hunter?
Road Dogg: I don’t even think you can call anything they ever had was a rivalry because Hunter is so much smarter in the ring. I’m gonna venture out and say so much better in the ring. Rock is a good worker, but there’s a difference between a good worker and a great wrestler which Hunter is.
His psychology is second to none. I mean I know he learned a lot from Shawn Michaels and stuff but he learned a lot about being a student of the game and watching it and learning from it. And his ring psychology is second to none. And I will never go against that statement unless I meet somebody whose is better. And I’ve met almost everybody and there ain’t none better.
So to put Rock and Hunter in the same category is even ludicrous. I mean Rocky says some catchphrases and Rocky’s a good worker, but he’s only as good as the guys in there. He ain’t better than everybody else. So he damn sure ain’t better than Hunter.
