That's really the thing. Without patting myself on the back, I'm generally known as a "promo guy". I've done a lot of seminars with guys like Joel Gertner, Kevin Kelly, etc., and they've all loved my work. There's nuance to cutting a good promo. There's "rules". Obviously people who don't know what they're looking at wouldn't get it, but if you do, well... It matters.
You can't just outright sh*t on someone, for starters. Rule #1: If you call a guy a worthless piece of sh*t, and you lose, then what are you? And if you win... So? All you did was beat a worthless piece of sh*t.
Aside from that, cracking on anyone for their race or sexual orientation is the ultimate Cheap Heat. It's juvenile. Doesn't make you look good at all.
There's other stuff you shouldn't do, like say "I'm gonna rip your head off" or whatever, Because obviously you won't, but Dwayne never really did that. Mostly just "I'm awesome and you suck because you're worthless and gay." That's his whole act!
These rules were in place back then, too, but he had Special Privilege. Kinda like how nowadays, the WWE scouts at a seminar will be all, "Obviously John Cena makes a lot of money, but don't do what he does, it's a special circumstance and we're well aware he's terrible."
