Welcome to ownership of a male Rottweiler! :D
It sounds like you have the perfect showdog. :p I love LOTS of temperament in a show/Specials' Rottweiler, but you have the best of both worlds...a MALE with with great temperament.
I do not know your dog, but it sounds like you have a an excellent dog on your hands, and my only suggestion would be to TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN! In that order. :)
Just one word of caution though, even if you do decide to COLLECT him, he will know what it is all about. Once introduced to it...that's it. Trust me, it WON'T work. ;)
To me, it sounds like your boy is going through a normal stage of adolescence/teen years...I would expect every Rottweiler at some point to go through a butthead stage. It's comes with the territory and the breed makeup.
Good Luck with those last 2-points!!!
