So when Rock comes back its hard for JC to defend his niche. And I would put the sudden "Thuganomics" revival down to this.

I wouldnt say either promo "owned" the other guy tbh.

Cena is a guy copying what The Rock did, The Rock *is* The Rock.

And this whole thing better lead to some kind of match between the two, all this better not *just* lead up to a promo at 'mania.

What I want to see is Rock kick Cena's ass all the way back to the mid card, however if they do have a match it will only be the inevitable "passing of the torch".
If you forced that comparison any harder, you could be charged with rape.

Cena's his own guy. The comparison between the Rock and Cena ends with the silly finishers, and even that's not remotely unique. Cena's "full moon" push was forced, and the Rock's wasn't a "full moon" push. Both talk smack, a trait shared by about 96 other main event or near main event wrestlers in the last 20 years (WWF/E alone). Cena's not really any closer to the Rock than to HHH, Austin, Michaels, etc. Hell, Edge and Orton might as well be compared to the Rock by those broad strokes.

The return of "Thuganomics" was almost certainly due to the WWE's tendency to "pull out all the stops" on the Road to Wrestlemania, rather than any feelings of inadequacy or lack of identity.
