Personally I think The Rock returning after 7 years is pretty damn good. Especially based on how people clammored for it over the past years. And they're making the best of it thus far.
But now it's here and it's not enough for some, I guess.
I think fans are way spoiled when it comes to Wrestlemania. Every year people expect more and more out of the cards, and it's because since WWE bought WCW, they've given it.
Look at Wrestlemania pre-17. It's a wrestling show. Yes, it's supposed to be the best of the year, but they should do their best with what they have on the roster, and provide hot storylines and matchups that serve the current direction.
But now people want multiple dream matches, and every star from the 90s.
The past year has been a huge youth movement. The matchups aren't dream matches because this early in a generation you just aren't going to have dream matchups.
If you ever want to see dream matchups and hugely anticipated feuds again, there is going to have to be a period where they are forged.
That's how it was at the beginning of the attitude era, and there are only so many years and matchups left in the tank from that generation.
It's time to let the new guys stand on their own. The Rock and HHH/Taker seems like more than enough veteran presence.
I also don't think Goldberg showing up is in any way going to "save" a show that The Rock is already on.
It would be a nice addition, but hardly make or break.

That's why fans are so stupid.
They had been clamoring for Bret Hart to return to the WWE for YEARS. Once he did last year, it was "He looks old", "He can't move", "He looks like Ozzy Osbourne", etc.
This year, after so much bitching and moaning for YEARS, The Rock is back in the WWE, and it's not enough for some. They (fans) went along with rumors about Sting going to WWE, something WWE NEVER publicized, and all of a sudden who cares if The Rock is back? Sting didn't go to WWE, so now all of a sudden the WWE is the bad guy, and WrestleMania is in trouble.
Pfft.
