IS...

Man, The Rock took everyone to promo and electrifying school tonight. No one on the roster got the consistent pops that Rock got tonight.

Single greatest moment in the WWE in the last couple of years, EASY.

That was a pretty sick intro for him too. Loved the vamped up theme btw.

This raw ending was fuckin great! Marked out like Striker did at the Rumble w/ Booker T!! Diesel, Booker, Rock, Austin , HBK, Taker and Triple H returnin this year, fuckin sweat!

Haven't enjoyed anything this much since HBK and Bret hugging in the ring last year

still marking out. god i love wrestling.

The intro was pretty good because of who came out. That was pretty neat the way they showed some white chick in high heels and I was fully expecting it to be something retarded like some country singer or something.

He did say he was there to stay, I wonder what the hell he's talking about. I have a lot of gay respect for The Rock and this will force me to watch this crap for a while if he sticks around.

A lot of credit has to go out to the crowd in Anaheim. That's one of the better crowds I have HEARD in a long time. They were really up for the Bryan/Miz match and of course went INSANE tonight for The Rock.

Someone please find or post the You Tube link. Without a doubt - one of the greatest moments in WWE history is when The Rock called John Cena a damn bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

Shakyness still hasnt fully stopped, just had to do some bits of works to calm myself, doubt i'll be sleeping,lol. Just can't bloody wait for WM. Was already looking forward to the HBK HOF moment but now the rock all night along with the cena feud, and much more and hopefully Del Rio/Edge to finish it off with a classic, this is gonna be a huge show!

Damn right man! I'm still marking out and re-watching Rock's promo on my DVR.

Link to the video. Watch before it's taken down!

One of the best Raws in a long long time. The Miz/Bryan match was amazing. Someone tell me now Bryan isn't freakin over. He and Miz had the crowd the entire match.

Morrison was on his game tonight too. Loved the intensity his character showed tonight.

The Rock. What else can you say. He still freakin has it. I seriously wish Mania was available to buy tonight I would buy it right now no questions asked just after that promo. Amazing. Surprised they went the Cena route but so excited they did. Could set up something ridiculous.

Also safe to say that we have a new candidate in the loudest pop ever heard in wrestling thread. That was unbelievable! Not to mention that The Rock broke the website...

He said he was never going away. I'm pretty sure that means he'll always be around and that he'll never stop making appearances but I don't think he's talking about coming back to wrestle or staying around.

Also, I'm so pumped at the opportunity that this creates for a much needed
Cena heel turn...

Sadly not the whole promo but still great. My mind is blown.

The whole promo should be up soon. Video is really slow in coming in.
That pop was one of the loudest ever. Truly amazing.

The Rock appeared live on tonight's show and received a major ovation from the crowd. The Rock said that he has finally returned home and wasn't back for the money or to promote a movie, but he was back for the fans. He thanked the fans and said he would never, ever be going away.

I'm still marking out, bro!

The Rock took Michael Cole from "heel commentator" to little bitch jabroni in 20 minutes.

Really fun show tonight :y:

-Pleasant surprise with Punk going over Cena, but I guess this guarantees that Cena eliminates Punk on Sunday. Oh well. Punk getting a win over Cena shocked me.

-Miz/Bryan was a pretty good match.

-Orton continues to kick Sheamus' ass constantly. They always put on good matches, but they constantly remind us that Sheamus is a step below main event talent in the booker's eyes.

-Can't wait to see Taker next week. He's the best, I don't care what anyone says.

-THE ROCK!!! Amazing! I loved every minute of it! Can't wait to see him at Mania.

Ive watched it on my DVR 5 time already. Cant get enough!!!

I love how Ryan Clark posted earlier today that the WM guest host would be announced tonight but was not going to appear. Now he's taken down all of the posts where he said the guest host wouldn't appear. :lol:

Vince McMahon might as well have mugged me and stolen my wallet. Triple H hasn't even come back yet... :drool:

Well, I've nutted in my pants a couple times this evening. Overall a good night.

Wish i bloody had sky plus for moments like this!

Now, Vince needs to get his shit together and bring back his son-in-law...

Damn James, I can only imagine how you'll feel when Trips returns. The Rock is to me what H is to you, and for me, tonight was the best night of wrestling since 2003. I'm still marking out right now.

What? No. We've seen that.

Rock/HHH feuds, promos and matches are some of my favorites, only behind Austin/Rock and Austin/Vince. As much as I would love to see Rock vs Cena, Rock vs HHH one more time would be epic too.

I am just worried Cena will fuck up and ruin a potentially classic match like he did at WrestleMania 23.

What about when HHH and Orton fucked up the main event a couple years ago?

Well, I've fucked your mom before too, but just like Rock vs HHH, I'd pay for it again.

It was a good match, but horrible booking. I also sympathize with Triple H having to carry that overrated blue-chip sack of shit again.

It was a shit match, James.

It wasn't the quality you expect from the WrestleMania main event. I agree with that. I think WWE was stupid for doing the "Triple H gets DQd he loses the belt" stip as that match needed a lot of fucking violence and instead we got primal scream HHH and Orton doing the same shit he's been doing since he discovered a gimmick other than arrogant young punk.

I also would have accepted Kofi Kingston. But I c wha u did thar

lol

doesnt exactly what you just said apply to mark henry? loyal to the wwe, never been world champ, and had a recent family tragedy..should they put that strap on him?

haha i remember that crap too..it used to irritate me that they wouldnt show raw cuz of a dog show. didnt they show them a couple times on like tuesday? or something like that because of the miniature Melinas running around?

not to mention all the "rocky" chants that went on the entire raw. i purposely stayed away from tpww/forums to be legit surprised, to have charlie conway and his mighty ducks faithful ruin it for me :( oh well, i still marked out when the music hit

i have that rock v hogan wrestlemania downloaded on my comp..that match was soooo amazing. the crowd reactions at the entrance/match/ending are non stop goosebump inciting.

The way they did his entrance with the lights and the screens shutting down one at a time was pretty epic.

my shorts went camping when eve did the "69" pin in natty, and natty had her face just absolutely buried in eves squack/turd cutter. glad i didnt take my usual divas piss break

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5webrAZSBhY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

i think he meant when they zoomed in on the lumberjills and all we can hear was "are you ok?'' "yes i am ok, are you ok? tee hee"

yes, i agree with this..i love the miz, but micheal cole almost makes me turn the channel every time the miz is on. its just too much

he is still US champ..and WWE doesnt seem like they wanna take it off him anytime soon..so how exactly are they doing nothing with him? he gets no reaction because his music is awful, and if his entrance was in smackdown vs raw it would be labeled "generic entrance 100" i dont see any charisma or personality really in the guy. the only positives are he is a pretty good in ring athlete, and he has payed his dues. but the sad truth is some people just dont have "it" and saidly, i would include Bryan in "some people"

i lol'd when she dropped the chocolates all over the ring.

or LSU, after all they have accomplished way more then the vikings ever will..

yea, i pretty much thought that the legs were a swerve..however it did make me want those legs wrapped around my neck at some point very soon!

lol just saw the rock on family guy now, and got chills again

You heard him girls. Party's over.

If seeing the Rock impact Raw doesn't make 1 want 2 see WM27 then ur not a fan. Need 2 check ur pulse. Rock's performance was epic. Awesome. less than 5 seconds ago via txt

yes sir it was

freaking epic

In shutting up Michael Cole/Anonymous GM...

In owning John Cena.... he managed to bury the entire roster... but not bury in the sense that we mean "bury"

it was just accenting the fact that The Rock is BIGGER than WWE. It was absolutely fucking incredible. I got goosebumps watching him.

This website "breaks" on a daily basis.
My thoughts exactly.
Well that was Orton's fault. Obviously.

Jesus! Even JR is talking in text abbreviations :nono:.

Also, everybody hates the lines that Cena has to cut on people (I'm thinking CM Sucks here) yet is all over "Cena is like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles"? Really?

Well it was "big fat bowl of fruity pebbles" ahahaha. Plus he chirped all his shirts. He just owned Rated PG... I haven't heard "ass" on WWE in like 2 years and Rock dropped it like 8 times lol.

Shows who won the "what can I say?" battle

As for the promo, it was good, I can't deny that.

However, it benefits from the fact that 1) it was the first in-ring appearance from him in SEVEN years. 2) He referenced internet stuff like the "issues" between him and Cena. 3) He attacked Cena - the guy that the IWC hates the most.

I guess Rocky was all about "cheap heat" back in the day, why would that change?

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CErB205Zm_c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I dunno. Maybe if I hadn't just watched Raw after a night shift. And it hadn't bee ruined for me by asshole YouTube posters...Maybe I'd have enjoyed it more.

Well what other way would you garner heat/pops that isn't ...

1. playing to the crowd?
2. talking trash to your opponent/enemy/etc?
3. Dropping your catchphrases?

I take "cheap heat" as when someone drops an f-bomb just for shock value, or whatever. Thats how Shawn Michaels refers to it and he's one of the best promo guys ever

Summed it up perfectly.

It's more specifically the first point. The whole "...has come back..." is cheap. As are the sing-along catchphrases I guess.

Plenty of people have cut incredible promos without resorting to those tactics. Dunno, I always took issue with The Rock's "by the numbers" promos. Never really "did it" for me.

There is more to a line than just the line itself...There is a big difference to how the Rock delivers a line and how Cena does

^ So so true. I can see Cena(oh, see what i did there) always tries to do what The Rock does with the crowd but fails very very badly at it mostly. So glad he's back, fuckin ell, its been too long.

That was the best ending I've seen in months, I couldn't stop marking out last night that it was embarassing.

lol calm down

lol

Cena actually said 'ass' on Raw like 3 or 4 weeks ago.

:y:

I'm not a Cena hater or anything, but for the last however many years, Cena has ripped apart everyone on the roster without the counterpart really every getting the chance to really bury Cena. I've been craving somebody to just come in and unload on Cena just one time. And fucking Rock comes in and does exactly that. Cena doesn't get the chance to come out and get his shit in on The Rock, which he would of got with everyone else.

It was amazing. It was almost like Rock was the spokesperson for every single fan of the Attitude era last night. And watching the little Cena fans booing and getting frustrated was incredible.

LC's boner is still raging.

What's up guys. I got piss drunk last night at the club and just woke up.I didn't catch wrestling. Anything good happen on raw last night?:D:D:D Just kidding...I saw it. Had to take aspirin till the ambulances got there. Was still almost as impressed with the ass whippin that Morrison gave nexus. Give him the title or GTFO.

:yes:

Really? Well I stand corrected then!

you also forgot when mae young called laycool bitches and sluts..that was effin hilarious

Shit. Just watched the entire promo again, and had tears in my eyes. God, life is good!

Many past and present WWE superstars wrote messages on Twitter following The Rock’s return to WWE on RAW. Here’s what the following people said about The Rock:

John Cena: "CeNation. Rock was in rare form tonight. It was great to see him enjoying himself out there. Even if it was at my expense. I’ve been Called alot worse. Just glad to see him back in action."

CM Punk: "Rock owes me fifty bucks for going 20 minutes past the hour, making me miss my valentines day reservations at Nobu."

Big Show: "Did anyone notice the chill bumps on Rocks arms as he gave his catch phrase? The Rock is back!"

Jim Ross: "Got 2 hand it 2 WWE…HBK in HOF, Austin on Tough Enough, Rock to host/star @ WM27…MUCH more on the way. Look out Atlanta!"

Val Venis: "I am just as happy as anyone else the Rock is back. As long as he sticks to the mic, we are good. Cuz his wrestling ability is questionable. Not hating on Rock. He is AWESOME on the mic. His charisma is unmatched. But lets be honest, Rock>Hardy & Venis>Rock! HONESTLY!"

Taz: "GREAT JOB by Rock! Miss having steaks with him & Dud’s after shows!!! Great times! 1 of the greatest of all times!!!"

Chris Jericho: "Congratulations to one of my favorite opponents and greatest rivals on returning to the WWE. The Rock is the BEST promo man of all time…"

Steve Austin: "It was great to see The Rock back on RAW tonight…helluva promo from an electrifying cat. Great stuff heading into Mania."

I love it, WWE has Rock, Austin, and Booker back, just not together. How long untill we see these guys cross paths?

Bitch ass response from Cena.

So I've replayed Rock's theme for the 6th time now.

You think he might make an appearance on SD? After all, it's The Rock's show.

Like I said earlier (think it was this thread), he is going to get bitten by the bug.

god val venis is such a tool..leave it to him to take such an amazing AMAZING moment in pro wrestling, and somehow try to make everyone think that he is better then The Rock..lol whens your next movie/heavyweight title/main event mainstay commin?

:shifty:

XL, quit acting like a fucking wrestling hipster.

They need to put him on Raw, SD, NXT & Superstars.

Fuck, make a new show solely for Rock to cut promos.

Give him an interview segment ("Rock's Quarry" or something) on every single show.

Rock's Quarry? Really?

Also, JBL's hat does remind me of Triple H's back.

Message to Val Venis:

Dunno. Tried to think of a terrible pun.

Probably actually call it The Smackdown Hotel or something like that.

And if he wants the longer version....
