All of this hot garbage about how The Rock is never there, this and that, although valid, is not a good argument. That's all they've got. And you know why that's all they've got? Because The Rock comes back, outperforms, out wrestles, and electrifies more in one night than anyone on the current roster does in a lifetime. Guys like Punk and Cena have jobs because of people like The Rock. How about a "Thank you Rock, because of you I get to apply my skills in the craft that is professional wrestling. I get to live my dream." You're fucking welcome. The Rock doesn't have to be there night in and night out. He did that, and he did that when it wasn't a world of social networking and it took personality AND wrestling prowess to really get over. I could go on and on.
On a side note, I am a Punk fan, he's a brilliant performer. His physique is pretty unimpressive, but that's part of his allure. His criticisms of The Rock are my only problems.
Biased or not, this is my opinion.

Seriously? If it took wrestling prowess, how the fuck did the Rock ever get popular?
He was a little above average in the ring at best. The only thing he really brought to the ring was charisma, and honestly, even that got stale pretty fuckin' quick once all his promos turned out to be generic, fill in the blank, same 14 catchphrases night after night rambling snooze fests.
The Rock fuckin' sucks. He sucked when he WAS in the fed, he sucks in Hollywood. (Seriously, what was the last GOOD movie he was in? Walking Tall, which was a remake?) Now he's just coasting on his nostalgia factor.
As was mentioned, if the stuff about Rock's backstage attitude is true, then it really does change everything.

It's way better having a star who is there every night entertaining you NOW as opposed to coasting on his reputation and acting like he own's the place when he DOES decide to show up. When stars act like entitled bitches, you kind of lose respect.
