Was The Rock the only huge WWE star that didn't play backstage politics?

Question

I know for a fact the following wrestlers do or did: Batista, John cena, HHH, Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, HBK, and Ric Flair.

Answer 1

i dont think cena or batista did..there just huge draws,hbk did in the 90's but he got better once he came back

Answer 2

Im sure Goldberg didnt when he was there probably one of the reasons he was fired who knows maybe taker doesnt either.

Answer 3

good question, I just answered another question about The Rock and that SAME thought came into my mind (That at least he never relied upon backstage politics to further his career; he did it all based on his own merits)  Of the guys you have listed, I'd say that HBK "used" to rely on politics, but he clearly does not now.  Flair was also not a huge politician, and if he was, he clearly got the worst of most of his "political endeavors", especially in WCW.  Batista is not smart enough to truly use politics the right way, so I'm not sure if I'd include him, and Cena doesn't really need politics, Vince is clearly in love w/the guy.  His main-event status is secure.....4....LIFE.

Answer 4

No i heard that the Rock was a nice guy and he respected everyone.

There was no point in him playing backstage politics because he was already popular and had his own style and thing going on.

He was not afraid to be a  jobber to the younger guys. Remember when he lost to Brock Lesnar.  

Answer 5

Vader never played politics, that's why wwe never gave him the respect he deserved. He even ended up putting over c**p like Edge and HBK.

I mean a saw a math once where Michaels defeated vader in less than a minute!!!

Not even Shawn believes that ****

Answer 6

If Ric Flair played backstage politics than how come during his 2001-2008 WWE run he did not have a single world title or heavyweight title run ? Also if you have ever watched WCW in the late 1990s than you would know that he jobbed to Marcus Bagwell's mother Judy Bagwell. Do you think a wreslter who plays backstage politics would agree to put over a middle aged woman with zero wrestling skills ? Fuggedaboutit.

Answer 7

YUP, N Y2J ALSO....

Answer 8

HHH still does it
