What PPV did Rock return at...
 

When he came back w/ the heel hollywood theme

I think it was No Way Out '03 :-\

^ yup

but he returned a couple of weeks prior to the PPV. He only debued the music at NWO 2003

the music changed a bit too

At NWO, we had longer footage of Hollywood, and The Cock said "IF YA SMELL....If ya smell.....if ya smell look at that tongue look at that tongue lalalalal what The Rock.....IS COOKING

It sounded awful.

It was updated the next night on RAW with the "IS COOKING" only which sounds so much better

yeah it was No Way Out 03'

Why did he return earlier?

just to build up the feud with Hulk Hogan

a 3 month comeback in 2003 sure beats his 2 shows right before Wrestlemania XX. If he could come back for atleast two good feuds, that would be super.

Rock did alright.

He had three PPV feuds with Hogan, Austin, and Goldberg, plus his mini feud with The Hurricane.
