The Rock's return was a complete embarassment to any true wrestling fan. If you have any respect for the business of the WWE and found his return beneficial in ANY way, then you should rethink your fandom.

While 28 and 29 might have been the highest grossing PPVs ever, what happened after? Right back to where they always are in terms of PPV buys. The Rock did NOTHING to benefit the WWE in the long run, and the WWE did nothing to help themselves in the long run.

The Rock vs. Cena was nothing more than a 3 year money grab, and in that sense, I suppose, it worked. To me, thats extremely short sighthed. If Dwaynes goal was to make as much money as HE could in 3 years, than he succeeded, but as a 3rd generation wrestler with the WWE "running through his veins", not caring AT ALL about how the product looks or where it will be headed AFTER HE LEAVES, is an embarassment.

I mentioned he didnt care about the way the product looked and there is no greater example of this than his answer on the Jimmy Kimmel show when Kimmel, extremely saracastically, asked Dwayne: "Why train for your match when you know the outcome? it's fake anyways."? Dwayne's answer? "When I lose its pretty fake, but when I win, it seems very realistic." WHAT?!?! YOU ARE THE WWE CHAMPION?!?!

How about this instead? Dwayne: "I train extremely hard for every movie I do as well, I am handed the script months in advance, should I not train for my films? As the WWE champion, I have every ATHLETE in the WWE coming after me and my belt, I have to stay fit, every match is a struggle mentally and physically...training and being mentally prepared is important in wrestling, movies and life." Done! Your precious image is just fine, and wrestling still looks as respectable as half naked men rolling around on eachother can look.

His original answer is so infuriating I cant put it in to words, how can someone of his pedigree have so much disrespect for the business that his family devoted their lives to building? The guy litterally makes me sick.

This is just as much WWE's fault for the writting and booking as it is Dwayne's. If Truth and Miz win at SS you've helped two guys for the rest of their careers while not doing ANY damage to Dwayne and Cena, and also having a surprise ending to a match where EVERYONE knew what was coming.

Having more matches with Punk, perhaps Punk actually wins one, Dwayne would end it with the upper hand, OF COURSE, but even giving Punk a DQ win would give his character ammunition for the rest of his career. but...NOPE, Dwayne wins. Dwayne always wins. I could go on and on and on with points that are just as infurating, but I feel like driving my head through a wall now, I've gottsta stop.

Everyone shits on Triple H, but the dude has dedicated HIS LIFE to the WWE, and trying, as best he can, to turn it around in the right direction. Whether you agree with him or not at least the effort is there. Dwayne is a whore. A dirty, dirty whore.
