The OFFICIAL Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson vs. John "John Cena" Cena **WRESTLEMANIA HYPE THREAD**

I've said on numerous occasions that Punk overdid it too. He absolutely buried Nash in their encounter and it wasn't necessary.

If (and that's a big if in my opinion), but if Cena did shoot on the Rock writing certain lines on his wrist so he could memorize them, it would be unprofessional because there's no reason to reveal that other than to bury/embarrass the Rock. Don't you think that would be a secret best left in the locker room? It would also be a desperate attempt at being provocative at the expense of Rock in hopes for a cheap pop from the crowd. Again, I don't think the Rock would have trouble memorizing a 15 minute monologue, so I'm not saying that's the case, but if it was, there would be anything "daft" about saying it would be a bullshit move by Cena.

I don't think the business has developed that way either and if it did, it's not a good thing that should continue. Guys exposing each others flaws and pissing on their accomplishments makes the whole product look weak. There's a reason why JBL chewed Miz and Morrison's ass for burying Punk on commentary. It doesn't matter whether it's Punk on Nash, Cena calling Del Rio the third wheel when has was champion, Ziggler on Swagger, etc... There's no reason to go outside the gimmick or storyline in that manner.

These guys are paid to take shit and make shit, if they don't like it, then they should've never came to WWE. Besides, this is nowhere near as controversial as Cole talking shit to Lawler concerning the death of his mother, making fun of JR's palsy, or burying the entire diva division (though we probably do agree with him on that one). Rock and Cena are being professional and aren't even playing it off as shocking material, Cole was being a desperate lil shitball and really crossed the line one too many times just to make people hate him.
