I wonder how Cena will respond next week, because if he gets into a promo war against The Rock he's going to get ripped to shreds.

Oh yes, let's throw out all 14 of The Rock's tired, overused, formulaic promo catchphrases. He was boring 7 years ago, and I doubt anything has changed. He certainly wasn't entertaining last night.

the rock won't be in any matches, he said a few weeks ago he would never wrestle another match.

and he sure as hell won't be doing any WWE studios movies, are you people kidding me with that shit?

he's just around to stir up the pot a bit, provide some classic segments, throw down a peoples elbow or two and most importantly increase the WM buyrates.

OK, after reading two pages of "Rock-talk" and other subsequent posts, I feel the need to comment:

1. It is HIGHLY unlikely The Rock will come back in a full-term wrestling capacity. IF he does anything long-term with WWE, it'll most likely be the occasional on-air spot leading to WrestleMania, and maybe some afterward if creative can't find a good way to end a storyline. Outside of that, he's probably going to be used as a talent agent like Arn Anderson and Finlay are currently doing. Basically there to mentor the younger guys, and let them know where/how to improve.

2. As it's already been stated, the biggest reason the Rock is back is to increase the hype and buy-rates for WM27..especially since the numbers aren't where WWE would like them to be with the other PPVs. This is the biggest event of the year for them, both entertainment wise, and financially speaking. Vince McMahon is a business man, and a damn good one at that, and he's going to pull out all the stops he can to make this as memorable and profitable as possible (hence trying to get Justin Beiber to sing the National Anthem)...however, that being said...

3. STING WILL NOT BE AT WRESTLEMANIA!! The man is 51 years old and hasn't worked for WWE in years. As much as I'd like to be wrong, lets face it, it's not a draw McMahon seems to have interest in, plus, what capacity could he really be used in? Doesn't make alot of sense to bring the guy back JUST to have him wrestle one match at WM..especially when there are plenty of people on the roster who could use the push. What angle could he possibly use? He's been in TNA for how long, what's he gonna say "I was in TNA watching 'Taker destroy opponent after opponent at WrestleMania, now I wanna be next"!? C'mon people..

4. I don't know how many people have been to a live WWE show, but if you don't know already, they generally have arena staff hand out signs before the show starts. So it's not entirely impossible for them to have pre-made "Rock" signs on hand. But at the same time, its not impossible to think fans brought them in as well..but chances are they were hand outs.

I only agree with #2. I've been to about 20 WWE events, and I've NEVER seen anyone handed a sign. There's a thing called the internet, where people can read rumors about The Rock coming back.

And yes, Sting has not worked in WWE for years. Make that every year of his life.

And Rock would not come back to be a road agent. A mentor? Maybe when he shows up for TV, but he will not be an agent.

I agree that it's highly doubtful Rock will be in WWE long term. I still wonder what he meant when he said "he's never leaving again". Maybe it was just in the excitement of the moment I don't know. But I'm more then sure that if he were to be with the WWE long term, if even as an on camera role only. The WWE would be more then happy then to work around his film career. Hell they let Jericho do his fucking Fozzy thing.

This thread has led me to believe one of two things:

1. The trolls are trying too hard these days and need to work on their craft

or

2. Some people have become to "Smart" to appreciate what a great moment it was on Raw last night. Regardless of what rumours have been thrown around, and what we may or may not have been expecting, if you couldn't enjoy seeing The Rock back last night you should stop watching wrestling, because nothing will ever meet your expectations.

One of the best moments all-time in WWE. Even at 38, it would be nice to see The Rock back long-term, not just for WM. I just want to see if he can still "bring it" to these young lions.

My bad...I could've swore he used to wrestle in WWF back in the day when he did the multi-color outfit and paint as opposed to his black/white theme now..maybe I've had one too many drunken nights in my time. I can hear the "you fucked up" chants starting already, lol

The WWE like other promotions have a 'stock' of signs that they hand out at some events when the crowd looks thin on camera side. The same Cena sign was on 7 episodes of Raw last year held by 7 different people.

The Rock is the biggest he's ever been, in his best ever condition, and he has said that he still practices wrestling, but for "body conditioning" purposes. However, I'm sure he can still go.

If it is true what he said, that he will NEVER go away...the guy's going to wrestle again.

However, I wouldn't say he is going to wrestle at WM27. He told Cena "I'll see you at WrestleMania", but he also said "I'll also see The Miz, and everyone else". So, all he did was play with words and stuff.

What I am wondering is if having The Rock at WrestleMania, and HBK being already announced as a HOF Inductee, if in any way, shape or form, the "thunder" is being stolen from HBK, as before Rock came into the equation, it was being viewed as HBK's weekend. Now, you throw The Rock into the mix, and people aren't even thinking about Shawn...

...I don't even know if I expressed my point of view correctly...

i don't know what you want.

i did not expect the rock and was thoroughly delighted. i must have re-watched the part when his music hit 7 or 8 times. nobody can detonate the crowd like that.

and i never disliked cena, but now i actually care what he has to say.

I'd love to see Stone Cold, HBK, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Edge, Christian, Big Show and Kane in a backstage skit of some kind. This would steal the show for sure. No one stealing anyone's thunder, but just seeing them all together would be awesome.

I'm curious to see how often he will appear on Raw leading to Wrestlemania. Every week?

I'm going to be completely honest, when he came out I went 'MEH'.

and that promo he cut was like watching a really tan Cena cut a promo on Cena.

Sorry, the Rock just doesn't do it for me. Never did.

I have zero complaints about The Rock and his way to come back

I was laughing my ass off - both at some of his jokes (overused or otherwise), but also at the poor editing people trying desperately to mute out his language! And failing miserably

As far as the future goes - I'm gonna put on my naive hat and just pretend like The Rock is back for good in a semi-fighting condition! (And I wouldn't want to see Cena Vs. Rock at WM, cause that would inevitably lead to Cena winning [Unless Rock can really really really draw a lot of cash - like a lot more than Cena can])

OK, this isn't 1985. 38 isn't 60 like it was back then.

Being 38 nowadays isn't what it used to be. Plus, The Rock takes care of his body, is in great condition, and has been away from wrestling for about 7 years, so he isn't "broken down" or anything, his body is fresh.

But I wonder about one thing. There quite a few fans with The Rock signs there. And I haven't even seen people here really thinking it was gonna be The Rock showing up, so how the fuck could they know? Do they just bring random signs of retired wrestlers to shows or were there actually any leaks?
I bring sign for The Rock and wear a Rock t-shirt/jersey to every show I go to.

If there's one thing I should neg rep a poster for it would be this. Not because it's a bad post, but because I am a gigantic Rock mark.

Okay, I've been one of the biggest complainers about the product the last few years, especially the PG stuff, but if you didn't appreciate the AMAZING reaction of the crowd last night when The Rock returned, then just quit watching altogether because NOTHING will make you happy. Granted, Rock's promos are always formulaic, but the delivery and interaction with the crowd is what makes it so great.
