Finally, The Rock Has Come Back! Now what?
Ok, I know there is already a thread for the Wrestlemania Guest Host, which was better suited for speculation of who it would be. Now that we know that The Rock has come back to WWE, lets talk about what "always being here" and "coming face to face" with the Miz and John Cena means.

Will he guest referee a match? Will he be doing some guest commentary? Will he actually wrestle?

I doubt he will do any of that, but just because a guy says he will never wrestle again has pretty much meant he will wrestle again. If he changes his mind...Wrestlemania will be off the charts. I haven't marked out like this since Bret and Shawn hugged on RAW last year.

So what do the candy asses of TPWW think The Rock will do as guest host?

I hope he shows up a few more times on RAW, especially if the Rock finally comes back...to Chicago! (RAW before Mania.)

Honestly?

I think The Rock is back to help WWE improve their ratings, to turn Cena heel, and to help with WWE Films.


I think The Rock will help put over young wrestlers in WWE Films.

People like The Miz, John Morrison, Santino Marella, Christian, etc, would do much better in a comedy or drama, then a guy like CENA because it's just more believable if the people look normal, not like they live in a gym.

He has a lot to offer, but I doubt he will want to take much away from the young talent that now dominates Raw/Smackdown.

They usually don't look like John Cena, that's for damn sure.

It's kind of the same thing with Triple H, being a Chaperone for a bunch of kids...

I mean, he's no Kindergarten Cop here...

They can be used for Action Films, but other than that, it's just not plausible to use big beefy stars for comedies or family movies...

I would've been more than content with him just showing up and being awesome but now he put a seedling of Rock vs Cena in my head and I can't get it out. I would like very much for that to happen.

It will be VERY interesting to see if there is a public disclosure or a leak of a contract being signed. That will be the sign if this is a short term thing to help plug his upcoming Fast and the Furious movie or if this indeed is something long term.

I'm torn as to what's going on. On the one had he sure made it SOUND like this wasn't a one month deal. On the other hand I can't see why Dwayne Johnson would want to do such a thing, other than a fact he misses the business.

The fact is, it'd take a HUGE contract to lure him in no? I mean he's about to come out with an action movie that looks pretty good and he's a bona fide B-List movie star that can headline the kind of movie that will go #1 in the box office on a down week.

WWE Films are in shambles and an embarrassment so unless there were guarantees they'll put real money into it a film i.e. at least $50 million, he shouldn't touch that with a ten foot poll. While HHH is making the Chaperone, the Rock is chilling out with the Hollywood elite.

Pretty much to bring him in here's what I think he'd command...

1) A major yearly salary in the $5 to $7 million range.
2) IF he did any WWE Films, a cut on the profits (10%?)
3) A cut on merchandise sales

The Rock appeared live on tonight's show and received a major ovation from the crowd. The Rock said that he has finally returned home and wasn't back for the money or to promote a movie, but he was back for the fans. He thanked the fans and said he would never, ever be going away.

I just got done watching RAW. I managed to avoid any type of spoiler and MARKED THE FUCK OUT! He came back after all this time, broke kayfabe, jumped back in it and still had the crowd in his hands. After I gathered myself, I realized something about that promo... did... did The Rock just become the voice of the IWC???

Think about this for a sec. Volare just mentioned the 7 year rule, which I didn't catch, but helps my case. He got into the whole "Cena talking trash" thing, which was all over the 'net. He voiced the view of the "We Hate Cena" crowd, and both walked all over what he's "allowed" to say with the rating anymore (which is annoying if you're editing, on a delay, and have the show taped at this point, and STILL miss the words you're trying to dub out. Why bother?) and took a swipe at the PG/Cena link.

That also answered a question brought up awhile back about what would change about The Rock's promos if he came back in the PG era... not a damn thing.

We enjoy it. The Rock returning is surely the mark out moment of the year so far. The WWE landscape has changed, and for The Rock to now be involved in it perpetuates more interest in it. It's great publicity for his movie and the WWE -- it's actually a beneficial agreement for both the WWE, The Rock and whatever movie studio is putting out Fast Five.

I doubt we'll see The Rock as a full-time WWE presence ever again, but two good things could come of this:

1) Wrestling seems "cool" again. Just reading what The Rock said in his promo made me mark out. Can't actually wait to watch it tomorrow. It'd added to a new edge to the current way the audience will look at guys like John Cena and The Miz.

2) If this deal works out well for The Rock's side and the WWE's side, then more business dealings will probably be done in the future. If The Rock's exposure on the WWE boosts his new movie, then the next movie he has will probably get a similar marketing campaign. Instead of playing against his time in the WWE, The Rock will embrace it. If he has a good time (which he always seems to), and money is generated -- it would only be natural to see more of The Rock and the WWE working together.

I also expect we will see The Rock's profile on the RAW Superstars page on WWE.com for the next six months to a year after his last WWE appearance.

And for the record -- I can't see the WWE turning John Cena heel out of this, but I can definitely see The Rock as the Special Guest Referee in the WrestleMania main event.

The Rock Raw GM?
The following speculations made me wonder.

1. Michael Cole becomes the guest speaker for the GM.
Note: We all know that back in 1999 The Rock and Cole shared promo's together, along with funny scenes.

2, Perfect reason to make Cena join Nexus and give Wade the orders.
not to re higher him.

3. The Rock has his beef with Chris Jericho too. Remember it was Jericho that
interrupted The Rock's speech back when Jericho first made his appearance.

4. Last night on Raw when The Rock returned. He told Cole to ignore the Gm!!. Hence because the GM was in the ring at the time??.

These are just my reasons why I'm thinking this Mystery GM has been The Rock from day 1.

What do you people think?

Fucking hell, I just watched this on youtube and marked out like a kid.

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?

There was a poll on WWE.com asking which former superstar you thought was gonna be the WM guest host, so i guess folk took a guess.

There's always that promo Punk made calling out the Rock.... And I quote: "You know who I'm better than? The Rock. I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't make crappy movies like the Tooth Fairy." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWqvQSpenXA

All in all, I hope Cena vs. The Rock happens..... I HOPE.

Even now, the next day, I don't know what to make of it.

Given the movies he's done - and yeah, none were blockbusters but I hadn't heard that any of them lost money - he's probably got enough money that he doesn't need to do much and certainly wouldn't need to throw himself out on the road 300 days per year.

But at the same time, he did imply that it was a long term situation. Maybe its the rare occasion when an athlete does something for the love of the craft rather than money - doubt it - but I guess its possible.

The Rock will not be wrestling at WrestleMania 27. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm 90% certain that he won't. He's said time and time again that he's done and I don't think he's bullshitting there, especially since he's probably in line to make more movies.

My guess is the build is all about Cena spending 6 weeks trying to earn The Rock's respect. He wins at WM, Rock hugs him and raises his arm. Bam, there's your annual WM moment.

Or all this happens and then at WM The Rock gives Cena a Rock Bottom and a People's Elbow and everyone cheers?

not to re higher him.

3. The Rock has his beef with Chris Jericho too. Remember it was Jericho that
interrupted The Rock's speech back when Jericho first made his appearance.

4. Last night on Raw when The Rock returned. He told Cole to ignore the Gm!!. Hence because the GM was in the ring at the time??.

These are just my reasons why I'm thinking this Mystery GM has been The Rock from day 1.

What do you people think?
The GM also mentioned not liking Bret Hart and as far as we know on screen they weren't feuding and off screen Bret was like a mentor to him. If the GM is being truthful and it's not a swerve

They probably had a feeling it was The Rock and brought a sign in anticipation or they bring blank posters and wrote on it lol.

Well, he did mention Cena AND The Miz I'm thinking maybe a Special Ref thing is on the horizon if he doesn't have a match.

There were also Rocky chants throughout the show.

I think it was just such an obvious choice, plus with the online rumors running rampant and just the way it was promoted. Basically, if it was anyone but Rock, there were going to be A LOT of let down fans.

I'd do that. Would cross the name of the wrestler I cheer for after his match, write another and so on. My sign would look awesome at the end of the show.

I would of loved if IF Cena did come out last night before Rock mentioned him and he did the whole "Who in the blue hell are you" bit with him.

The Rock, although classic last night, has also done the impossible..made me root for John Cena.. Cena has helped carry this company since Rock left and now he comes back 7 years later and takes cheap shots? Nothing that Cena said about Dwyane was incorrect..

True, but who else would The Rock talk about? Zack Ryder?
