I work for a company as a temporary. I work on a CNC Machine. Basically they put 500 or so parts in front of me and I help set the machine up, press a button and the machine does all the work. It's really a boring azz job. In high school I used a CNC Machine so I know what you mean. Everyone wanted to use the machine, I preferred to use the regular milling machine since I got bored oiling the piece every few minutes and cleaning off the shavings. Anyway, I'm currently enrolled as a graduate student but am employed as a graduate assistant.

Shall I assume you were 18, meaning it was an 18 on the 18th birthday.
Nice receivings, the more I see of Umaga the more I am tempted to buy one, as well as a new Triple H.

I think he sold out, now look I understand leaving something that eats away at your body for something a lot easier for your entire life but would it kill him to pop in once or twice a year. A reason I get upset at him is because A while back he would always say ''I'll be back'' in a video package when WWE would promote a movie of his, yet he can't pop in one night on RAW and do a little promo and maybe rock bottom somebody or just do a quick promo and get out. He showed up at the HOF induction ceremony and supposedly rubs people the wrong way and jets out to film a movie. If he pops in once or twice a year I will forgive him. Honestly, the company is not plugging every one of his movies so there is no need to pop in. He does not owe the company a thing, that also includes appearances. Does he owe the origin of his fame to WWE? Yes. However, it is not like his success in WWE only benefited him, it was mutually beneficial for both parties, so he is not in debt to the company in any way. So unless they are doing a favor for him he does not have to stop by or pop in at all if he does not want to. This is like saying you need to stop by your old job because you left and gained all your experience from that job. Also the WWE would plug his films because Vince owned the name "The Rock" and therefore gained royalties through it, if I am not mistaken. So even the plugging of the movies equally benefited both parties. Personally, I feel like he did. I was proud of him for coming back early in 2002 when Austin bailed. The WWE needed a star & he answered the call. The WWE needed stars badly, but Rock acted as if he didnt know what wrestling was. I understand he has a live outside of wrestling now, but he turned his back on the people who made him. Had it not been for wrestling, he would probably be a no body. Thats why I take the term "remember where you came from" personally. The Rock obviously forgot. I could write a freaking book on this topic & how I feel about it, but I'm just going to leave it at this. He did not turn his back on anyone, he never denies where he came from or down plays what the fans did for him. Honestly, what does he do that shows he "forgets where he came from"? You said it yourself he helped out in 2002 and put over what WWE was billing as their next big main eventer. By your logic I need to back to my job I am leaving this year because they are looking to have a suspect year of new people that can not hold up the same job performance I could. This is not my obligation to do so, nor am I turning my back on my former employer for not helping. Like I mentioned above, The Rock's fame is due in part to WWE but WWE also benefited. The relationship was mutually beneficial to both parties, they both made money and The Rock got exposure. When he left, he left helping out other talent and not building up his ego. I understand you might feel differently but when you look what he did for the industry and company as well you will realize that he was not the only beneficiary in the relationship.

I remember when I was younger, I was a big time Sgt. Slaughter fan. I remember being devastated that the Sarge was getting electrocuted by Mountie's shock stick. That was one of those things that upset me at the time.

I do not think he sold out. He simply moved on and out from wrestling. This is no different than athletes for sports retiring and doing something else. He does not talk poorly of wrestling, he just chooses to not make appearances. When you look at what he has done he has earn the right to walk away and not look back if he chooses and not receive major criticism for such.

Good job, I really like in the second one where RVD does not actually break the table. I agree with the above poster, that photo is amazing.
