2011 The Rock sucks (and doesn't draw either apparently)
 

WWE has released a preliminary Survivor Series PPV figure of 280,000 total buys. The buy total for The Rock's big return match teaming with John Cena will likely grow by the time WWE reports fourth quarter earnings result, as the preliminary total is only through the end of November. From PWTorch

Last year did 240,000 buys. So The Rock's first match in 7 years only did an increase of 40,000 buys. MITB this year did an increase of 30,000 buys so is CM Punk 75% the draw Rock is? WTF.

This is disappointing as fuck because to me 2011 Rock sucks. And that is really shitty because The Rock used to be fucking sweet and easily one of the best professional sports entertainer wrestler people of all time.

I've been feeling this since the second time I watched Rock's comeback promo on February 14, 2011. It wasn't that good. He said some stupid ass shit (never leaving again) and he didn't bring anything new to the table.

- The Rock's has not cut a single good live promo in 2011. By good, I am talking about Rock standards. He isn't Daniel Bryan or Zack Ryder bad but that is literally impossible. The only promo I actually enjoyed was that one he did on Facebook where he is outside and talks about the Attitude Era and explains the HUGE mistake that was the "never leaving again" line.

- He was awful at Wrestlemania 27 apart from the Austin confrontation. He honestly ruined the main event.

- He looks like a roided freak

- He looks like Goldberg with that stupid goatee

- He just yells now and doesn't soothe us with the best trash talk you can get like he used to

- He always looks UNNECESSARILY INTENSE AND CONFUSED. What the fuck happened to Rock's brilliant facial expressions? He doesn't look cocky and cool anymore at all. He just looks really confused, lost and like he is taking a shit.

"What the fuck is going on?"

- He lost his charm man. He isn't as big of a draw as made out to be. I wonder how much of WM 27 buyrate was Rock's doing now but I still suspect the majority of that increase was 100% Rock.

- He seems like a bit of an arrogant jerk compared to the past if CM Punk's constant bitching is true

- He hasn't really changed up his promos that much which is disappointing as I thought he'd reinvent himself a little. And on top of that he doesn't deliver the promos the way he used to so they suck now

- The only good thing seems to be that he improved in-ring if Survivor Series is a taste of things to come. He busted out some sweet moves but it's hard to know for sure since he only wrestled like two minutes.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS MAN?

He's an actor now

He's yet to hit "Rock Bottom". :lol:

Then he should be better at playing a role and that's all a wrestling gimmick is

I'm watching BMW right now, thanks for asking.

I didn't ask

Eh, my day was ok. Got a lot of work done for Christmas. I have all my shopping done, just have to pull in a couple of late days at work and I'll be all set for the holiday. Thanks for asking. How was your day?

I swear you asked me how my day was and then edited your post.

PG-13'ers would rather cheer for Super Cena...... and they don't but PPV's.....

Another wrestling thread ruined by the "too cool for wrestling and dont really care but gonna post about it anyway but not really actually gonna post smartass offtopic comments" assholes

I didn't. Get your eyes checked or upgrade from INTERNET EXPLORER DOG

Now back on topic.

Does The Rock just not give a shit or is he actually nervous? He looks like he regrets coming back

Why, yes I did get some sweets for Christmas. Got some chocolate covered pretzels. BRB, gonna go eat one.

I believe this because Trips has TPWW cred.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Butthurt 2011 Rock marks who don't want to face the truth? :lol:

K, I'm back. It was a dark chocolate one. Probably my favorite. What's your favorite chocolate covered pretzel? I'd say you are an M&M kinda guy.

I am a big fan of milk chocolate myself.

I miss the old white chocolate covered pretzels I used to buy as a kid. Haven't seen them in years.

White chocolate is too sweet for my little tastebuds.

You need Tru Moo in your life.

I scrolled quickly using the scroll bar. It flashes really nicely. I recommend it unless you're epileptic.

It's gone. :'(

BATISTA BOMBED!!

Really starting to love Batista in retrospect.

I miss Batista every day.

And BATISTABOMBED

lol had no idea about BatistaBombed!

lol bless the guy.. Whose sock was it?

hahaha that is great.

"the other day i was allowed to watch porn well when i say allowed i mean my mum didn't catch me.''

BRILLIANT :rofl:

Hey you guys, Ice Cream Bar wants me to tell you guys to be nice to him. Apparently someone hurt his feelings.

Sorry, we'll stay on track.

Thanks for babysitting us.

And if you two don't you are trolling. Which leads to a ban apparently.

Now with the topic:

Is it because The Rock does not care? I think it is because he hasn't reinvented himself at all which is a shame. Imagine if he did, this could have been like Jericho's 2007-2010 run (although part time but who cares).

Rock just gets a positive reaction no matter what he does so he doesn't push himself further (similar to WWE in general in a way)
