Like, why doesn't Rock say "hey John, you seem like an alright guy. But on the real you could make a legitimate case for me as being the best performer ever."

or "hey John, good to see you again. Listen I hate to break it to you but seriously though you could make a legitimate case for me being in the greatest Wrestlemania main event ever."

and even "John, how's it been dude? Bro, by the way, you're just kind of fucking lame and my naps display more charisma than even your best matches." ???
