The Rock would then vow to cross the line in his feud with Cody Rhodes.
”The irony here is the greatest periods in over 100 years of pro wrestling history – have been when it all starts to look and feel real. You can script violence all day, but you can’t script how intense a man feels about something he cares deeply for. I don’t walk the line, but I’m known to cross it – with intention.”
