I think he had gotten pretty boring near the end though. I was a huge fan of him from 98-2000. That was one hell of a run. I wasn't a fan of him from 2002 onwards though. I felt like he just would go overboard with the whole thing, and the character got pretty boring in exchange for outrageous promos and weekly catchphrases.
His returns have always been great, and I do hope he does something with the WWE again soon. So I guess in that sense I "miss him." Not on a fulltime basis or anything though.
I just think it was for the better that he left when he did. Same with Stone Cold. It allowed them to go out on top, and never hang around like the generation before them did.

I think Rock realizes this. Obviously his hollywood career is #1 but the fact that he went out on top definitely makes him "greater" in the long run. People will always assume that had Rock stayed longer he would have been just as good as he was because he went out on top. We didn't get to see him become like Hogan in the 90s or Flair in the 00s or Foley these days. In 2002 he was getting stale but he was still one of the best guys.
