Video summary

In this episode of "The Stupidity in The IWC," host Ross addresses a follower named Luke Jared who he believes is spreading misinformation regarding WWE's current roster decisions and blaming Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for them. The controversy began after someone suggested that the New Day, Sheamus, and others were being cut to make room specifically for Samoan wrestlers under The Rock's influence. While acknowledging that botches happen in wrestling as they did with a recent Chris Jericho match involving Don Callis, Ross argues that Luke Jared is ignoring basic facts by claiming The Rock personally orchestrates the release of non-Samoan talent like Austin Creed and Zelena while hiring relatives from his family tree. Ross systematically dismantles these claims by explaining the actual business realities behind roster changes. He points out that many released wrestlers left because their financial negotiations with TKO did not align, a decision made independently rather than through The Rock's direct intervention. Furthermore, he clarifies that individuals like Tonga Loa and Tati Tonga are technically from American Samoa but distinct ethnicities, yet the host insists they still do not fit the specific narrative Luke Jared is pushing about an exclusive "Samoan dynasty." Ross emphasizes that while The Rock sits on the TKO board, his primary focus has shifted to movies and music, meaning he does not actively scout talent or dictate creative direction in a way that would allow him to single-handedly fill WWE with family members. The host also provides crucial context regarding how specific wrestlers like Zilla actually entered the company, attributing their success to connections made through Booker T rather than any intervention by The Rock. He recounts visiting Reality of Wrestling and observing Zilla's humble attitude toward his career progression, noting that he worked hard without expecting immediate stardom. Ross concludes that Luke Jared is living in a fantasy world where simple business logic does not apply, labeling the fan as delusional for insisting on a conspiracy involving The Rock when evidence points to established industry relationships and standard contract negotiations being the true drivers of these roster moves. Ultimately, Ross warns fans against accepting fabricated narratives without understanding the complex machinery behind professional wrestling organizations.

What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross back at again with another video. And not going to lie to you, I wasn't expecting to be doing another stupidity in the IWC, but this one is a special one. I think this may be one of the dumbest individuals I have ever ran into on social media. And what makes this kind of unfortunate is the fact that this individual that I was having a back and forth with on X yesterday is someone that has been following my content for a while. So, it was actually kind of sad to know that this individual has been supporting me for I don't know how long, but for whatever reason, their hatred for the Bloodline and their hatred for The Rock is just out of this world, next level, just stupid. It doesn't even really make sense, especially with the points that he was trying to make. And honestly, out of anybody I've interacted with on social media this year, I think this person, unfortunately, may be the slowest person I've ever interacted with on social media in it when it pertains to wrestling. Let me show you exactly what I was talking about. And unfortunately, you guys have to see the stupidity, too, because hey, this is the series. the stupidity IWC. I think he may be the number one person as of right now for 2026 because this is just this is just ridiculous. Let me show you what's going on. So, this is how this all started. Someone had made a post and I think I talked about this in my Zilla to Hate uh video I dropped yesterday. Uh someone made a post basically saying WWE as the new day and Sheamus to take cuts to sign this guy. By the way, basically there's this clip of Zilla 2. >> Y'all may have seen it. And right here, there's, you know, there's some miscommunications. It's a botch. It doesn't look >> There's just some miscommunication. We've seen stuff like this happening in WWE, AEW. I literally just seen a clip of uh I don't know if it was this week's Dynamite where Chris Jericho I think he had the walls of Jericho applied to someone and then um Don Kalis comes into the ring but then he gets out of the ring because I don't think he was supposed to come all the way into the ring. So Chris Jericho, while he has someone in the walls of Jericho, walks over closer to the ropes so that way Don Kalis could hit him with an a blunt object. And I was just like, "Yeah, that looked bad. That didn't look good. That's a botch for sure. That was not supposed to happen." But everyone goes through it. It's happened in every company. It will always happen. That's just what it is. So, when someone made this point, I was like, I responded, I hate when y'all make posts like this to fit your narrative. When all wrestlers have had botches before in a match, which is true. Some of my favorite wrestlers of all time have ba had botches. It It's just It is what it is. You move on. It's not that deep. So, Luke Jared, you've been a a follower for some time and he decided to comment this. No, we're sick of The Rock and his biasy, this is what he said, to sign every relative Samoan under the sun while actual talented wrestlers like, uh, Carrie Cross, Scarlet, uh, Kofi, um, uh, Charlie Girl, uh, Austin Creed, Zelena, Alistister all get released sickening. So, first and foremost, he thinks that The Rock is going out of his way to only get Samoans and other talented talent is getting released. So, we're just going to go off that alone. He feels that this is The Rock's fault, right? Rock's part of TKO. TKL released some of these wrestlers, not including the fact that some of these wrestlers had negotiations and those negotiations weren't lining up with them, so they decided to leave. It's it's really that simple. The money wasn't lining up for them. These wrestlers felt like they deserve to get paid more, some of them. So, they decided to bet on themselves and leave. What the [ __ ] does The Rock have to do with that? Nope. We not We haven't even got to the the best part, y'all. Let me We We We going to get there. We going to get there. So, I respond. I swear y'all be coming up with stuff in y'all head and posted as if it's fact. This is something he definitely came up in his head, cannon, as to be fact. So he responds, "How isn't how isn't it a fact the wrestlers I listed all got released and we're currently having like 12 Bloodline members in the WWE? It's boring. They all share the same move set. They all cut same promos and play the same character. How is this how is what I posted not straight up fact?" So I respond, "Do you think The Rock is letting people go and hiring some moments? You need help, dude. The Rock has nothing to do with that. Also, Samoans have been in wrestling since before the 80s. You're just making [ __ ] up. Then he responds, "I've watched you on YouTube for years, and I appreciate that. I agree with 90% of your opinions, but this is mine. You can't tell me The Rock wasn't partially on the T on the TKO board. We currently having 11 Samoans in WWE, especially mediocre ones like Tongaoa and Talatonga. It's repetitive and pure ass. Tongaloa and Talatonga, they're not Samoans. They're tonggin. Yes, they're adjacent to Samoans, but they're not Samoans. They're tonggin. And if you think The Rock, who yes, he's on the board, but he's not actively doing much for WWE. He's more focused on his movie career, which you know, it's not looking the best. And now he's focused on trying to do music. Do you think The Rock is actively out here saying, you know what, we need more Samoans and Tongginans. That's what we need. Not the people that are scouting, not the people that are going out there to see what talent is out there. But that's neither here nor there because there's still some more stupidity to come, guys. So after that, I said, you are speaking on things that you are wrong about. That's my issue. you don't have the you don't have to like the bloodline but you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to this. The Rock is not worried about WWE. Then he responds and then uh because of that they had to cut superstar salaries and release a load uh who after who are far better than most Samoans in WWE that could have 10 time better storylines, different characters and move sets. It's pathetic. Just my opinion. You don't have to agree, but at least respect it. So, I respond, "No, I don't have to respect it because you still don't know what you're talking about." That is TKO. The Rock is not releasing talent, bro. He didn't want to listen. He personally isn't, but 100% he has influence on it. So, you see how he's moving the goalpost. He personally isn't releasing talent, but he has influence on it. How does that make sense? If he's not releasing the talent that's not Samoan or tonging, how is he still influence on it? How does he have influence on something that he's not doing? What are you talking about? But no, the stupidity keeps going, guys. No, no, no, no. You thought the stupidity was done. No, no, no, no, no. So I think uh so right here someone ends up responding um you know what you know for a fact the Rocks focusing on uh other [ __ ] right hell have you even watched Unreal about the Rock supposed dealings with what happened at Wrestlemania 41 you know for a fact that he has nothing to do with those calls plus some Owens have since around since the 70s and 80s. Of course, love is me. How do we tell them? Then he posted this. The Rock says he's exploring his music career, which is true. Then he responds, "Not 11 and uh in the same era with four of them being pure [ __ ] ass." And obviously The Rock going to say he's not doing he's he's nothing to do with talent or creative because any wrong move could tarnish his reputation for for the uh FML. Y'all are dafted. No, you just don't know what you're talking about. But at the end of the day, you're still going to watch. See you from Monday Night Raw. Then he says, "Enjoy your same [ __ ] storylines, repetitive move sets and characters and terrible stuff." So, at this point, he's he's people are going in on his stupidity, just trying to let him know how dumb he sounds. And he's he's he's committed to the dumbness. He's committed to that dumb uh stupid doesn't make sense, but I got to die on this heel mantra. He's committed to it. He's not letting it go. He doesn't want to admit that he's wrong, so he's going to die on the dumb heel. So after he says that, I end up saying, "How about you go to TKO headquarters and tell them how upset you are? I'm sure they will take your ideas into consideration." And I think he kept responding to other people and honestly at that point I was just kind of over it. So I ended up, this is the last thing I posted about the whole situation. What I've learned to realize is that social media has exposed many of y'all for being quite slow. like really slow, especially some wrestling fans. And I left it at that he was responding to other people. Still was wrong. And it was just one of those things where it's like this was easily avoidable. Now, here's the thing. Here's the thing, man. At the end of the day, bro, The Rock legitimately has nothing to do with what's going on, who's being uh drafted uh into the business for WWE for Monday Night Raw or Smackdown. He's not worried about that. That's he is at the he's on the board, but he's not actively worried about who's coming into WWE and trying to get nothing but Samoans. You want to know something? And if you do see this video, you want to know something. I'mma give you a little bit of insight. Shout out to Zilla for those who don't know. Uh I know him more on a just, you know, a chill type level. I don't know him like super well, but you know, anytime we've had conversations, whether we talked on the phone or in person, he's always been dope, real chill. and it's, you know, he's we've always been trying to set up stuff to do some collabs, but scheduling and now since he in NXT is definitely going to be harder, but still looking forward to seeing what he does. Right. We've been to reality of wrestling. That is Booker T's wrestling promotion. He's been actively there involved in reality of wrestling. You want to know what's funny? We went to their last show that they had, I think last weekend, and we all knew, not all, but a lot of us knew that, you know, this was going to be his last goound. And we kind of had indications or ideas that he was most likely going to be getting called up. We didn't know if it was going to be the main roster, NXT, wherever, but we knew this was going to be kind of his last time being, you know, uh, in um, reality of wrestling. And we also know that WWE's relationship with Booker T is pretty good. They literally have WWE ID banners in front of the establishment. It doesn't take rocket science to understand that he was able to get called up with the assistance of Booker T. Yes, they know who he is. Yes, they know his father and for a while, you know, he was dealing with some some uh legal situations, which is one of the reasons why they probably didn't call him up sooner. And it gave him time to perfect his craft, work on his craft. So if anybody want to blame anybody, you would necess you would need to blame Booker T. We've had conversations with him talking about his relationship with Booker T. He would be the direct access to NXT and H, you know, and Shawn Michaels and them. He would be that direct line. It wouldn't be the [ __ ] rock. It wouldn't. And it wouldn't just be, oh, because he's a fat, too. No. You know what they did with Jacob? They brought him straight to the main roster and he was a part of uh reality of wrestling for a little bit too. But guess what? That direct connection goes through Booker T in that particular situation. We got to stop this this notion that oh the Rock is behind all of Samoans being in WWE. No. Samoans have been actively a part of WWE for many years, even before TKO got involved. It just doesn't make sense. We got to stop living in this fantasy world and thinking the things that we come up with our head is fact. Is not fact. You don't know what you're talking about. You sound like a crazed man. You sound like a legit crazed individual that has no idea what the hell you're talking about. I know for a fact that Zilla got brought up through Booker T. That I know for a fact. I've seen their interactions, heard the conversations. I know for a fact that's what's been going on. And the funny thing about Zilla, bro, and I'm going to end this off. The funny thing about Zilla, anytime we've ever talked to him and we said, "Hey man, your time is up next. You're up next." He always be like, "Hey man, I appreciate that. I'mma just keep grinding." It was never, "Oh, you know, I can't wait to get to WWE." Anytime we've talked to him, it was always he just wanted to keep grinding, keep doing his thing, and you know, he figured when his time comes, his time will come. It was never, "Oh yeah, I already know I'm good." No, he was, "Hey, I got to keep grinding. I want to make a name for myself." Simple as that. So, Luke Jared, brother, brother, I hate to say this, but you may be one of the the stupidest individuals, unfortunately, we've had on this series. You may take the crown as stupidest IWC member for 2026, bro. I'm not going to lie to you. Comment down below. Let me know. Do you think Luke Jared wants wins so far in the lead for the stupidest member in IWC? Cuz I I think he's up there, bro. I I don't think I've seen anything as dumb and as delusional as this guy. I hate to say that, bro. I hate to be the one to tell you that, but this is dumb. This is delusional. And you're not making any sense, bro. It's okay to be wrong, but to think that The Rock is going out his way to make sure the Samoan in Tongan Dynasty takes over WWE, you got to get some help. Get just stop it, guys. Just stop it, bro. But I appreciate all love support you guys showed on channel Road to 200K. Appreciate y'all King with me. See you on the next one. Peace.
