The Rock Denies Reports of TKO Requesting WWE TV-PG Compliance – As noted, there has reportedly been a lot of talk of some frustration among talent in and out of WWE about the double standard that comes with having The Rock back on television as he uses a lot of adult language in his promos.
There was a feeling that the double standard under Vince McMahon’s reign in charge was over once Triple H took over, but that’s not the case. Nick Khan, Triple H, and Dan Ventrelle (Executive Vice President of Talent) sent out a recent memo to talent reminding them of the company being PG with no cursing on TV or social media, and then Rock returned doing just the opposite.
It was said that talent was told due to the company being publicly traded and “the wishes of TKO management was for WWE to be TV-PG and he’s on the board, that if anything, he should be the one following the rules to set the example.” WWE did let Cody Rhodes push the envelope with his promo on Monday’s episode of Raw with his segment to further their program ahead of the WrestleMania 40 tag team match.
The Rock took to Twitter overnight to address a report that TKO wanted him to set an example and follow the TV-PG product guidelines. “This story is complete horseshit” said The Rock.
