Not even these "young lions" that you speak of can even hold Rocky's jock right now. Rocky implied last night that "this is the way we did it 10 years ago", implying that these "young lions" need to step their game up. The biggest lion of these "young lions" that you speak of is in fact John Cena, and well, last night proved clear that Cena had alot of catching up to do to even be on Rock's level. Honestly if Cena wants to get Rock back, he needs to request to Vince if he could go out there next week and adlib his whole promo, and take it back old school Cena_style circa 2003 and do a freestyle on The Rock. I would love to see that. It would be epic.

I'm not saying that he needs to rap all the time, he just needs to revert back to his old heel persona that made him popular in the first place. He did a rap in 2005 against Christian and the fans marked out for that, nostalgia_style. Cena needs to find his inner heel and do the same on Rock. Cena has crazy potential to out do The Rock, provided that he's allowed to do so. Like the thread I made titled "John Cena needs to take more charge of his character"
The closest thing to The Rock right now is CM Punk. Punk has his shit right. Maybe that's why Rock didn't take a shot at Punk (even after he dissed The Tooth Fairy on live TV) cuz he knew that he'd give him a run for his money
Although I marked out last night, I noticed that Rock did his usual schtick. No fresh catchphrases. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks we see some new material. It's the usual..."The jabroni beating...pie eating...trailblazing...eyebrow raising....People's Champ THE ROCK...IF YA SMELLLALALALALALALOW what The Rock....is cooking." Rock was getting mad stale from late 2001 to the summer of 2002, but when he came back as a heel in early 2003, he had totally revamped his character and came up with new lines, new look, and a new attitude. I hope he does that again this time around.
Also, the fact that he now has a revised theme song leads me to believe that he will be back for a while. I'm thinking atleast 3 months
