So was The Rock Vince's back-up plan since he couldn't sign Sting?

[The Naitch]

Seems like it to me. I DUNNO. Not sure if this was discussed before. But Rock coming back reminds me of the time when Austin took his ball and went home, so Vince asked Rock to come back to save the day. Plan B. When shit goes down, just call up The Rock

Also with all this talk of Rock returning to the ring reminds me of that spring of 2002. Rock came back out of nowhere, he appeared at KOR 2002, and then he started wrestling Vengeance and SummerSlam 2002, Then left.

Fuck the Q&A Forum. THIS IS MY HOUSE

[Jeritron]

Yes, I'm sure The Rock was an understudy for Steve Borden.

[MoFo]

lolz

[MoFo]

He was saying last yr he was talking to WWE about a 'big role', I guess this was it.

[Jeritron]

In all seriousness though, to your suggestion that it was more of a "coming back to help" thing, no way.
It seems very likely that it was a plan much earlier than the night Vince came out and said there was a Wrestlemania host.

I'm sure the cogs were turning on this deal way back into 2010.

[Rock Bottom]

I think Sting felt bad for Rocky and didn't sign because he didn't want to ruin his return by overshadowing it

[Jeritron]

Rock Bottom brings that fire ABT was talking about

[The Naitch]

are you being sarcastic RB?

[Jeritron]

are you being sarcastic RB?

Jesus.

[Dirk Ziggler]

are you being sarcastic RB?

Are you being serious with this thread Naitch?

[Rock Bottom]

What I did was double double, I was being sarcastic about being sarcastic

I also think you highly underestimate Naitch's reply. I'm not sure but I have a strong feeling that he was pretty aware that I was being sarcastic and was being sarcastic about it.

WHO KNOWS, ENTIRE THREAD COULD BE SARCASM

[Xero]

The Rock was the backup plan and MITB is a shoot.

[The Naitch]

RB BRINGS THA FIYAH

[Rock Bottom]

Hell yeah man. Going to leave this wrestling forum burning in my wake.

(thats ufcking flames in case you didnt know. the sheer fire of my words)

[The Naitch]

I still can't believe they did a Scorpion King 2

:nono:

[Rock Bottom]

I can't believe they did a Scorpion King 1

Maybe that's a stretch.

[Swish]

OK Naitch if you believe The Rock was a back up plan, Then I agree with you,

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I also heard that the Disco Inferno was going to host Tough Enough, but when he pulled out, they went to the Plan B of Austin.

[Shadrick]

Lol Hasney, you're an asshole.

Pssh. You think that's more likely than the notion that Vince just called up the Rock because he couldn't get Sting, and the Rock just dropped everything and jumped a jet?

:roll: mark.

[XL]

I doubt Vince even tried to sign Sting in the first place.

[Ruien]

No idea but Faster was a good movie.

[Rock Bottom]

WWE probably has more money for Sting but it's kind of hard to pass up punching in for 90 seconds and getting paid.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Punching a methhead no less. Perks of the job or what.

[St. Jimmy]

I agree with Naitch here. Seems like Rock would be that "In Case of Emergency" button, where as Sting just seems like a solid option for the Georgia Dome. I don't feel like Vince would want to play the Rock card until he absolutely had to.

[Razzamajazz]

maybe teh wwe felt that this was going to be teh worstest wretslemania evar so they had to pack it with the big guys like rock and atsin and snooki

[St. Jimmy]

It's actually a pretty strong Mania. No where near as bad as WM 23.
