Do you think The Rock knows...

This isn't just a stupid thread to knock on The Rock's return. This is an honest question.

Do you guys think The Rock is proud of his return and what he did for those 2 Manias and 3 side PPV's?

He's a third generation professional wrestler. He was under the tutelage of Bret Hart during the early part of his WWE career - the ultimate personification of a "professional wrestler". He KNOWS when he had a good match and when he had an "okay" match. Or at least, I'm sure he used to know it. When he walked out of Summerslam 98 against Triple H, I'm sure he knew they tore the house down. When Mania X-7 ended, he had to know that he and Steve just had their best one-on-one match in their twin careers. After bashing in Mankind's skull at the Rumble, he had to go backstage and know that they just put on a brutal classic that might never be topped.

Did he know he didn't live up to expectations at Manias 28 and 29? Or has his time away from the ring and the constant adulation and sometimes obsession of millions of fans around the world for The Rock The Movie Star caused him to believe that even his shit does not stink? Did he walk backstage, have numerous superstars pat him on his gigantic shoulders and tell him "Great match, Rock! You guys tore the damn house down!", and BELIEVE IT?

I wish I could know. Maybe one day, when he's old and retired and writing his autobiography or giving an interview somewhere, he'll tell us how he really feels about his return. Right now, he would never come out and say he didn't fulfill his own expectations. That's just bad PR for an A-list movie star.
