IF The Rock were to return to the WWE full-time for one year....

[The Naitch]

How would you book him starting from...

Royal Rumble 2005 to Wrestlemania 22 (2006)

[Gouda]

Raw:

- Have him have a friendly rivalry with Shawn Michaels when he first comes in because The Rock says he never really had the chance to go against the great Shawn Michaels.

- Build it up to a five star match at some PPV in which The Rock goes over.

- The next night on Raw have him and Shawn as guests on the Highlight Reel where Jericho expects them to shake hands. Just as they are about to do it, from the crowd come Christian and Tyson Tomko.... with chairs! They slide into the ring behind the three wrestler's backs. Tyson whacks Jericho. Christian nails Shawn. The Rock turns around and starts to fight back but is eventually overwhelmed and treated to a massive beatdown, blood and all. Then as Christian is about to leave they deliver a conchairto to Shawn and then destory the Jeritron 5000. They then leave the arena without explanation.

- Next week we have Jericho, Rock, and Shawn all calling out Christian and arguing over who will get him first. Christian appears on the titantron, syas he isn't there tonight due to concern of his safety. Explains that he is tired of people stealing his spotlight. He says he destroyed the Jeritron because JEricho doesn't deserve his own show, and that he should have one. He says Shawn is old news and can't cut it in the ring anymore but steals Christian's spotlight just because of his name. He then says The Rock is the worst of all, and that his return is taking away the most spotlight. He claims that things have changed, that Rock is no longer the people's champion but that he is the Peep's Champ.

- You build to a four way match at a PPV, all the meanwhile building up tension (assisted by Christian) between Rock/Shawn/Jericho because of there big egos. You have Christian go over Shawn.

- On Raw you have Shawn come out claiming he could of won if it was a one on one match and say that it was Jericho/Rock's fault. Jericho and The Rock come out and make similar claims. Christian comes out and cuts a promo saying that they should just admit it and accept that Captain Charisma is the best man, that he is the Present and Future, and that Rock and Shawn are The Past while Jericho is a Never Was. The three argue again over who will get to face Christian. Out comes Eric Bischoff. He makes a three way to determine who will face Christian at the next PPV. Christian and Tomko attempt interference in the match trying to make it so that nobody wins, all they suceed in doing is making Shawn inadvertently win.

- Next PPV Christian goes over Shawn cleanly. Shawn is shocked. As is... THE WORLD!! The Rock and Jericho face each other later in the night to find out who is next in line for Christian. Christian helps Jericho win.

- Raw, Shawn comes out and starts talking about how maybe he is too old and is past his time. He leaves (only to reemerge later after "finding his smile" :shifty: But that's later. He's done in this story for now)

The Rock comes out talks about how Christian is afraid of him. Christian comes out and says that's absurd. He says he wasn't helping Jericho and that it was an accident (despite being really blatant cheating). Jericho comes out and says he could have beat The Rock on his own but in any case, now that he has won, Christian is going down. He chases Christian down the ramp and into the ring. Him and Rock corner Christian.... when Jericho attacks Rock! Christian and Jericho viciously beat down Rock (Tomko is.... uhhhh... out. Yeah. That's it. By The Rock. I just didn't mention it). Jericho and Xtian hug.

- Raw, Jericho explains how Christian opened his eyes and that he was going nowhere and so forth. He says he knows he won the right to face Christian but that he's going to give that opportunity to someone else. Someone who wants to get at Christian even more then he does. Someone who has been waiting years for the opportunity. He then brings out.... THE PEBBLE (aka no name jobber). Christian comes out and squashes The Pebble. Rock comes out and cleans house. Christian and Jericho escape up the ramp. The Pebble gets the Rock Bottom and People's Elbow.

Rock grabs the microphone and demands a match against Christian. Christian denies him but says that if Rock can beat Jericho he can have his shot, but that there's no chance in that because Jericho beat him once and can do it again.

Bischoff comes out and says the match will be at the next PPV (or Raw if there aren't enough PPVs.... I'm not really keeping track here) .... but in a cage to prevent interference! Jericho and Christian freak out.

- PPV, Rock goes over Jericho in the cage match with Christian getting ejected from ringside after preventing Rock from escaping once.

- Raw, Rock cuts a promo on how he'll finally get his hands on Christian. Christian comes out and acts like it's no big deal and says he isn't afraid, but when The Rock comes out of the ring and advances on him he runs away.

- PPV (If I was actually timing this and stuff this would be Wrestlemania, however I'm not so I have no idea which PPV this is), Christian goes over The Rock. Rock wards off interference by Jericho and Tomko (who is back by now) but falls prey when.... MATT MORGAN returns and helps out Christian.
----------------------

Yes. I might do one where he returns on Smackdown later. Maybe.

Christian. :love:

EDIT- Whoa. Long post. I should have really been spending this time on my MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HOMEWORK or something.

I dont think I can write a long detailed thing about him but all I can say is that I would have him being a heel. That was when he was at his best. Then have him join with Triple H (not in Evolution but just join sides with him) and have them fight Michaels and Orton a few times. and thats where I leave.

[Gouda]

I honestly don't think that could happen.

1) Rock coming back for a year... I think it would be VERY hard to make him a heel because the fans will love him. Also if it's only a year I think it would be better for the ratings/business for him to come in as a Face and ultimatley put somebody over.

2) Rock joining with Triple H would not work under any circumstances. Triple H would want to be the focus but then.... it's The Rock. It's nigh impossible to be the focus when he's around. Triple H wouldn't want to be with someone that gets more attention and is alot more talented. He wouldn't want to be in The Rock's shadow. Not after being the main focus for so long. I'm not saying they couldn't feud, but allying just would not work with these two.

[John la Rock]

I would love to see another Rock/HHH match or feud down the line

[The Icon of Elisim]

1. Rumble makes a return interview where he vows that wrestling is where is heart is and how committed he is to it

2. Starts a fued with Christian. Christian wins at the February PPV and Rock wins at WM.

3. Fueds with Benoit for number 1 contendership in April and wins

4. Fueds with Orton (face vs face) in may and June and loses

5. Fueds with Evolution in July

6. Fueds with HHH at Summerslam and september

7. Fueds with heel Jericho in october

8. Leader of faces at Survivor Series

9. Loses a legend killer match to a heel Randy Orton in december or at the royal rumble

[big_bluto]

1. Comes back and starts a 'BIG NOSE' chant whenever HHH appears.
2. Sits back and basks in triumph for the remainder of the year.

[mike627]

I wolud put him on SD! and have him fued w/ JBL .It starts out with Teddy Long cutting JBL's airtime too make a anouncement the Great One is coming back to SD!.When The Rock shows up that week JBL interups his interview saying " Where the hell has the Rock been while he was wining the wwe title and carrying the company. They can use the Rock is a sell-out angle.

[The Lone Drinker]

I hope The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin return in 2005. Like RD said on wrestlecrap, those two men really raised the bar. And that's why the product today really stinks. Cause not one single superstar in the WWE have the talent The Rock and Steve Austin had.
