The Rock has said to never wrestle again, how do you feel?
 
Quote:

Former WWE talent Dwayne Johnson (a/k/a The Rock) has started a weekly feature on his official Facebook page where he’ll choose fans’ questions once per week to answer in depth.

When asked why he decided to leave WWE and if he’s ever coming back, he bluntly states that he will never wrestle again. He does, however, note that he will appear for WWE when the timing is right.

His complete response reads:

“…to “the Rock’s millions and millions”…who will forever be my family.. ..my honest and direct answer to you is this: I left the WWE because I had succeeded in accomplishing every goal I set to achieve. …I’ve never done this before, but I will now because I feel it’s important you know..let me share with you the goals I set for myself in the WWE so you can have a better understanding and perspective.. – become the youngest WWE World Champion – help set box office and attendance records in every arena in the country – help set PPV buy rate records ..the final two and my most important goals to achieve in wrestling: – become the most entertaining and electrifying performer the WWE had ever seen or will ever see again – take the brass ring of the WWE that Vince McMahon had faithfully allowed me to earn and take it places it had never gone before…to trailblaze…to break new ground…to achieve unprecedented greatness for not only for myself and the fans to enjoy…but for the business of professional wrestling itself and the WWE… A business and company that is in my blood and that I will love forever. …I achieved these goals in the WWE at 30 years old and decided then to HUMBLY and QUIETLY step away and retire. ..and set my sights on another goal…a childhood dream…Hollywood. ..will I ever come back to the WWE? of course I will..not a match though, but in a capacity that would allow me to do so much more.. I LOVE that company and the fans…without the two I would not be standing where I am today… Vince and myself stay very closely connected and when the opportunity is right – which will be alot sooner than you think – we will do something electrifying and historic for the fans…he and I were toying with the idea of a special show called “ROCK RAW”… sounds like a perfect title for me to come back and SLAP THE LIPS OFF THOSE JABRONIS and LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN ON AAAAALLLLL THEIR CANDY ASSES!!! sorry…got carried away..I’ll save that one of a kind electricity for Rock Raw.. …it is important to me to say this from my heart – to the incredibly loyal “..The Rock’s Millions and Millions…” and the entire WWE UNIVERSE…I am forever humbled and grateful to you for allowing me the HONOR to entertain you over the years…you have my word I will continue to entertain you in ways like no one else…it’s only just the beginning… I dream big…and we’ve achieved those dreams together because you never left my side..I love you for that and thank you… I am Dwayne Johnson…and I will also always be The Rock.”
Is it time to move on? Do we believe him?

The Rock has been retired longer than his career. It was time to move on a long time ago.

BizarroKing 01-31-2011 08:43 PM

It's funny how people always expected him to go back to wrestling. He seems to be doing fine where he is.

Yeah, I've always thought that The Rock always seemed happier once he left. After the ring he got himself in the best shape of life and just kept on moving forward. Looking back, I have always wondered if using the WWE as a stepping stone into Hollywood was his plan all along, and no not that it would be a bad plan to have.

Jura 01-31-2011 08:59 PM

He won't "wrestle" again, if he's being truthful but that doesn't mean he won't come back and maybe drop a People's Elbow or a Rock bottom on someone.

Every statement he's made about returning to WWE he mentions wanting to do something big and exciting and to me that means something beyond guest hosting but he seems to be really busy so I don't think it can be something much bigger than guest hosting.

JimmyMess 01-31-2011 11:45 PM

I feel about the same as I did before I read the article.

Rocky has only given the same response a hundred times. I know he'll never wrestle again, but one day he'll host... he'll come in, Rock Bottom, People's Elbow, sing a song, whatever. Which is fine.

He'll go into the Hall of Fame, maybe do the same thing. And then that will be that. Which is fine.

Still hoping that it's a work.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-01-2011 12:03 AM

Why is this still news? He's gone jabronies. Know your role and shut your mouths about it already you roody poo candy asses!

You should have already moved on it's been seven damn years since his last match. He has been gone as many years as his WWE career if you don't count that one match at Wrestlemania XX.

Rammsteinmad 02-01-2011 01:44 AM

I got over the Rock years ago. He was great in his time, but right now to be honest I couldn't care less. It's a nice treat when he makes surprise appearances, but I don't really care about seeing him wrestle again.

As thedamndest said it was time to move on years ago.

Fignuts 02-01-2011 02:11 AM

Never expected him to so whatever.

Noooo He Must Come Back and save the WWE

whiteyford 02-01-2011 07:21 AM

He's in the same position as Brock, he doesnt need to but if he ever did that options always there. Never say never but i don't think anyone ever really thought it was realistic he'd be back.

But...his career sucks! He can't act! He sucks because he sold out! He owes the fans!

Hell hath no fury like a wrestletard scorned.

Team Sheep 02-01-2011 09:14 AM

I'm sure he will "wrestle" a match at a Wrestlemania in about 20-30 years.

Now thats a slow methodical build up:shifty:

He hasnt wrestled in what, 7 years? He was awesome, but Im over it.

Innovator 02-01-2011 01:10 PM

YOU GOT TO LET HIM GO SIR

CSL 02-01-2011 01:10 PM

It doesn't matter (see what I did there) what he says, nobody can predict the future. He clearly has no intention of wrestling but his career might bomb tomorrow and down the line he may feel the need to wrestle again, be it for boredom, money or just something to do. Or a million other different scenarios. And that has been my take on it since pretty much the day he left. 'Never' means jack shit in pro wrestling. Just don't go holding your breath.

So, would you guys welcome his return to the WWE or would you rather see new, younger guys in the spotlight?

It's all a work. It'll be Sting vs. Rock at Wrestlemania.

Wait, I'm just kidding.

It'll be Sting vs. Rock vs. Jesus at Wrestlemania.


Seriously, Rock, apart from a non-wrestling cameo, is gone and has been for a long time. Feeling sad about this is like continuing to feel sad about losing your blanky from your childhood.
