John Cena Cuts A Promo On The Rock, Dwayne Responds

[HBPunk]

The video is from the show i attended in Perth on Sunday night. Its on the main page but i know jack shit about computery crap so if someone can post it here that'd be great. If not i dont really care cos its two clicks away anyway. I like that Cena called himself a 'Professional Wrestler' and that he mentioned the 'Im back and i will never ever go away again' shit that The Average One spewed. I believe Cena when he says The Rock wont be leader of Team Bullshit again until April 1st when Rock gets his big payday. Does anyone else think we'l see Rocky back before the lead up to WM?

Discuss the video or whatever

[HBPunk]

Thanks. Kinda made this thread to see would naitch shit all over it again or if i was in the clear. Turns out he spent the last FULL DAY creating a sock and now he's posted his own version of the thread based on a comment i made yesterday. If only he had a life

[4 knuckles up]

I agree with Cena here 100%. Though he does come across a bit whiney...

[HBPunk]

He was gettin booed and heckled quite a bit. WWE is huge over here so they are smarky enough

[Nicky Fives]

Rock may come off as whiny, but he gets 100x the reaction than Cena..... and nobody boo's him unless he's heel.....

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Rock may come off as whiny, but he gets 100x the reaction than Cena..... and nobody boo's him unless he's heel.....

Well that's not even close to true. The whole reason thy turned him heel during his final run was because he was getting booed.

[captaincharismark]

I think the better question would be when does Cena NOT cut a promo on The Rock? He'll pretty much carry the fued, so Rock won't even respond directly till March. I did however find it interesting that Cena said his match with Punk would be bigger than his match with The Rock. Apparently even Cena didn't believe Rock could draw more in one night than Punk could his whole career.

[Rock Bottom]

Well that's not even close to true. The whole reason thy turned him heel during his final run was because he was getting booed.

Depends on his opponents, honestly.

Case in point, Rock looks like the second coming of Christ compared to Cena.

Got booed against Hogan, Austin (mostly), Goldberg.

[Rock Bottom]

I'm still pretty interested to see how this situation is handled though. If Cena keeps coming back with the "I COME TO WORK EVERY WEEK AND I WORK EVERY WEEK, 4 U" and Rock just keeps saying random catchphrases, it really won't even matter, the match itself is enough. They should let them have more fun with this thing.

[The Naitch]

Cena should play the heel against The Rock

[Aguakate]

The Rock should play the heel against Cena :shifty:

Or he was trying to sell a PPV that's like two weeks away, while people will have long forgotten that promo by Wrestlemania next year.

[captaincharismark]

I doubt anyone would buy The Rock could draw more in one night than CM Punk could his whole career. Plus, he can't sell a PPV to fans at a house show. If he were making that statement on RAW, maybe but the majority of wrestling fans would be unaware of that promo without internet.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Do they not sell PPVs in Perth? Serious question.

[HBPunk]

Captain, that may be kinda true but aside from the internet fans being the greatest whingers in the world and everything sucking to them they are still the best fans the WWE have. We care enough to be here, we care enough to buy tickets to many many shows, we remember it all and where it all began. little jimmy doesn't remember the night hogan slammed andre, the night the nwo war formed, the night austin cut the 'austin 3:16' promo but we do. all the little jimmy's know about is superman cena and when they grow up and get over him they will move on. I know ill be a fan for life and id say the majority of posters on here will too.

[HBPunk]

AT they do. Also i dunno what that rant i had was all about, im a bit tipsy after working all day n night

[Anybody Thrilla]

So if they sell PPVs in Perth, why wouldn't the crowd there be a target to sell the PPV, captain?

[captaincharismark]

I think you were missing my entire point above. I meant since the promo wasn't televised, no one would see it. So, your point about that promo selling a PPV doesn't make sense. Never once did I say selling PPV's Perth wasn't a target. Two very different points. I'm sure WWE being there proves otherwise.

[Aguakate]

I don't care what anybody says, I'm sure whenever John Cena talks smack about The Rock, deep down inside, he really means what he is saying...he actually DOES feel that way about Dwayne Johnson.

[Anybody Thrilla]

If he said his match with Punk was bigger than his match with The Rock, he was trying to sell the PPV to the Perth audience. That's all.

[captaincharismark]

If he said his match with Punk was bigger than his match with The Rock, he was trying to sell the PPV to the Perth audience. That's all.

I never disputed that fact. My point was one promo in Perth that was untelevised couldn't be used to sell the PPV nationwide. If he said that on a RAW taping, he'd be the laughing stock of the IWC right now. Most fans know when Cena said that about his match with Punk being bigger than his match with Rock, he's blowing smoke up our asses so we'll buy the MITB PPV. Cena himself doesn't believe that either, or he wouldn't have tried so hard to goad The Rock into a match...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Plus, he can't sell a PPV to fans at a house show.

See, THIS is what I took issue with. Yes he can. You added the nationwide quantifier.

[captaincharismark]

See, THIS is what I took issue with. Yes he can. You added the nationwide quantifier.

From the beginning I was referring to him selling the PPV to a nationwide audience. Obviously, he can sell a PPV to the fans in Perth if the WWE has live events there. And I added the term nationwide b/c that was implied by me since the beginning, but you clearly didn't catch my meaning. Why would I say he can't sell PPV's to a Perth audience? WWE being there kinda proves otherwise...

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's what the fuck I was wondering, guy.

[captaincharismark]

If you had understood that I meant he can't use a untelevised promo to sell a nationwide audience on a particular PPV, then you wouldn't have had to wonder. But, point made either way...

Yikes.

[Shadrick]

Anyone have any idea what city he's talking about? Where he turned face? Where he won his first title? Where he debuted?

EDIT: He debuted Survivor Series 1996 in Madison Square Garden, won his first world title in St. Louis at the Kiel Center, but his first face turn was somewhat gradual. Somewhat.

[Londoner]

That's more like the rock i know. Said everything that needed to be said.

[Londoner]

Also loved the music at the end there. :cool:

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like how they can promo on each other to build the Mania match without even addressing it on TV. WWE is taking full advantage of the internet these days. About time.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty awesome promo. Shouldn't be wasting this material off of TV.

Also, whoever edited the video for him, needs to center-pan The Rock's audio.

[Anybody Thrilla]

NERD ALERT

[Wolfpack423]

The Rock and John Cena feed off each other so well. That was an awesome video you posted. I thought he was going to hint at possibly being at Money In The Bank which would be awesome as he would realistically have a problem with both Cena and CM Punk.

[Lock Jaw]

I think he was hinting about Survivor Series at MSG, since that is where he debuted. That is still quite some time off though. "I am coming to kick your ass before Wrestlemania! ... Eventually... in November...."

[Rammsteinmad]

Was interesting to hear Rock refer to the 'Attitude Era'.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think he was hinting about Survivor Series at MSG, since that is where he debuted. That is still quite some time off though. "I am coming to kick your ass before Wrestlemania! ... Eventually... in November...."

Yeah, from the sounds of it, he definitely meant this year's Survivor Series. So, tag match of some sort maybe?

[#1-norm-fan]

Anyone have any idea what city he's talking about? Where he turned face? Where he won his first title? Where he debuted?

EDIT: He debuted Survivor Series 1996 in Madison Square Garden, won his first world title in St. Louis at the Kiel Center, but his first face turn was somewhat gradual. Somewhat.

The fact that he mentioned "... at that historic arena" tends to sound more like Madison Square Garden than the Kiel Center. Also, he said "his very first night".

It's definitely Survivor Series.

[XCaliber]

Man I hope Vince and CM Punk come to some sort of agreement so he could feud with The Rock between now and WM28 it would be freaking epic.

[Jordan]

I like how they can promo on each other to build the Mania match without even addressing it on TV. WWE is taking full advantage of the internet these days. About time.

My thoughts exactly.

This match may be the biggest of all time due to the years worth of awesome hype it's gonna get.

Just letting Rock say what he wants is fucking brilliant and Cena is doing the ole Briscoes MAN UP motto for this one it seems. Gonna be huge.

[Jordan]

Also WWE using the Rock to boost Survivor Series PPV sales is a super smart idea with the decline over the past years.... Maybe we'll get a Punk/Cena return match for the title with the Rock as the ref.

[Rock Bottom]

You hear that Cena, we see through your bullshit!

[Taker it Easy]

I don't care about these promos. Show me something involving these two which posses content.

This just fluff stuff. Silly playground talk at the moment.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

You forgot to post a picture.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't care about these promos. Show me something involving these two which posses content.

Slow burn, baby. Their match is still a long while away.

[Xero]

So you're saying that Cena and Rock are...

Takering it too Easy!?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh man

[RVDmark]

Takering it too Easy!?

Shut up Takering707

[Aguakate]

I for one am glad to hear some swearing once again in the WWE.

"Ass", "Son of a bitch"...it's awesome.

[Anybody Thrilla]

While I don't think swearing is necessary, I do think that it adds an element of realism. You can't get really mad at somebody and then tell them to KISS YOUR BUTT!!!! :mad:

[Aguakate]

Well, it's not NECESSARY, but the angles don't come across as so "cartoonish", or lame, as they did for a while.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Yeah, I agree.

[Aguakate]

I hadn't noticed Punk had said this on Monday LOL

"What a maneuver!"

Vince = Owned

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2sKPDZ0fiOo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Haha, I heard that and thought Vince said it himself.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I bet you Punk has been marking out on the inside a bit during this whole thing.

[Aguakate]

It's just surprising to me how long of a leash Vince has given Punk, as to what to bring up, what to say, etc...

...not even Austin had this level of freedom of speech.

[Shadrick]

Man, its like Punk could come out there and say "I'm gonna do to you what Macho Man did to Steph" and Vince would be fine with it.

[Rammsteinmad]

Now THAT would be fucking epic!

[dingdongyo]

i watched that whole rock video, that's the first time i thought he nailed a response in this buildup. it wasn't "fruity pebbles" garbage, he actually turned the tables and put out words with some weight.

[Krimzon7]

The Rock PWNED Cena in this promo.

[Nark Order]

Except for he's still not around and it kind of kills anything that he puts out to me.

[Dat Fool Train]

Other than his first two promos since coming back, the Rock's done everything in his power to make me not like him anymore. Took up time on Mania and made the main event suck (not his fault, I know), but then he tried getting Orton in trouble for something and just looked like a whiny bitch cuz of it. There's a reason why Cena's the top guy and this feud with the Rock/Punk is proving why. Although Punk has been setting the wrestling world on fire as of lately and is doing his best work since joining WWE

[Rock Bottom]

Rock's promo has actually convinced me that he would pretty much refuse to job to Cena at Wrestlemania. At least not cleanly.

Honestly, why would he?

[Rammsteinmad]

Because he's getting paid big bucks to do it.

[Autobahn]

Love this rivalry. Everything seems very real with what they have both said and its going to make WM all the more special.

[RVDmark]

I bet you Punk has been marking out on the inside a bit during this whole thing.

You can tell he is marking on the outside too, when Vince apologised I thought he was going to do a Foley victory lap.

[Ruien]

Rock's promo has actually convinced me that he would pretty much refuse to job to Cena at Wrestlemania. At least not cleanly.

Honestly, why would he?

Seeing as Rock jobbed to Hogan, I believe the favor will be returned to Rocky.

[Gerard]

Seeing as Rock jobbed to Hogan, I believe the favor will be returned to Rocky.

:wtf:

Rock beat hogan twice.

[Rock Bottom]

Because he's getting paid big bucks to do it.

Believe it or not The Rock has refused to do certain shit before because he absolutely couldn't stand somebody, regardless of the fact that he didn't mind losing a good amount of his matches. He doesn't work for WWE either. But I guess we have to wait a while to find out.

[CSL]

Rock's promo has actually convinced me that he would pretty much refuse to job to Cena at Wrestlemania. At least not cleanly.

and they say kayfabe is dead

[Rock Bottom]

Good thing they never said people refusing to job is dead.

Or that it is against the law to be a complete tryhard.

[Mr. C]

Yeah, from the sounds of it, he definitely meant this year's Survivor Series. So, tag match of some sort maybe?

Hmm… Team Cena vs. Team Rock?

[Jura]

CeNation vs Team Bring It

[JimmyMess]

CeNation vs Team Bring It

There aren't enough faces for that lol

[Rock Bottom]

If Austin were involved it'd be more like Austin and Rock vs. all five of them.

[Jura]

It would be sick if one day veteran wrestlers and the younger generation got into it. And I'm not talking about those old Hall of Fame legends. The younger generation would be arrogant and think they are better than their predecessors like Dolph and Punk who would be leading the new blood while Attitude era guys like Austin, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Booker T, Kevin Nash and HBK would be demanding respect from them. It could be like a Survivor Series thing and in the end the younger guys give their "elders" respect and in turn they pass the torch. I don't know. It's just something that popped into my head right now. Ignore it if it seems awful.

[Lock Jaw]

Could call the younger generation "The New Blood" and the older one "The Millionaire's Club". Could be good. :y:

[Mr. C]

I love the idea of Cena's era vs. Rock's era. The teams should be:

Team Cena:
John Cena
John Morrison
Kofi Kingston
Rey Mysterio
Zack Ryder

Team Rock:
The Rock
Big Show
Goldust
Kane
Mick Foley

[Rock Bottom]

– It should be noted that one very high-ranking WWE official doesn’t want to see The Rock vs. John Cena at WrestleMania 28. While this person doesn’t want the match to happen, most feel that it still will take place for obvious reasons.

From front page.

That's pretty funny. Wonder why?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

It's probably Michael Hayes. Doesn't want two black guys in the Wrestlemania main event.

[CSL]

lol I can make up headlines to fill out my website too

- A source inside WWE claims that various 'higher ups' are said to be unhappy with the positioning of Triple H as the new authority figure on TV according to PWInsider.com. The feeling amongst some is that the combination of his hairline and suits makes many of the males backstage feel inferior and is ultimately bad for company morale.

[CSL]

- An unnamed WWE insider is rumoured to not have been a fan of the recent CM Punk/John Cena PPV main event, going as far as to let out a mild sigh when word spread backstage that they would meet again at the upcoming Summerslam PPV. No word yet whether this will affect the storyline plans down the line.

[CSL]

- Word coming out of WWE is that CM Punk is in the doghouse again. At a recent house show, Punk (real name Phil Brooks) is rumoured to have skipped a spot in the lunch line in catering, upsetting writing team member Michael Hayes who, due to it being apple pie day, apparently wasn't shy about letting his disgust be known. No signs yet if this will affect Punk's standing in the company.

[Rock Bottom]

CSL is a tryhard

[CSL]

yeah, really busting my ass here

[CSL]

and you missed important words like 'rumoured', 'unnamed', 'source', 'apparently', 'according to' and so forth

[#BROKEN Hasney]

-TPWW officials have been quoted as being "tired" of Rock Bottom's attitude and even shaking their head at reading the awful journalistic standards the front page sets. The nameless official went onto say that "Making effort calling someone a tryhard really reaks of tryhardocity and may compromise their push." No signs yet on how this will effect Rock Bottom's posting career

[CSL]

shiiiitttttt, brb gonna start a thread about that

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Hasney, post like that forever please.

[Rock Bottom]

you guys are pretty retarded

[#BROKEN Hasney]

-British officials have been shocked as prominent foreigner Rock Bottom called 3 of it's most recognisable countrymen "retards" instead of the accepted term "English" because he takes himself a touch too seriously. "He should be banned from wrestling-based internet forums. Calling an Englishman a retard is similar to calling a <s>black man</s> a man of colour a nigger. It's an outdated description." No word on what punitive action will be taken, but sources indicate it may involve buttery crumpets. More as we get it.
