Like when Cena said The Rock wouldn't care if WWE tomorrow. He could have said how he helped keep WCW from killing WWF. When Rock kept talking about the people and living to entertaining I thought he'd bring up Cena not having half the ratings he did.

Cena can't see The Rock....The Rock pwned Cena just by being there. Vintage Rock it wasn't much more to bee said the show was over why you think he went into auto pilot and wrapped it up. The Rock is what its all about filling the seats and entertaining the fans. They just mad cause The Rock doesn't have to try as hard ans some people feelings hurt.....

I will go as far as to say that this night was set up for Cena to win.

My guess is they will build to The Rock finally unloading on Cena with an epic worked shoot on the RAW in a few weeks.

1) So Rock doesn't care about WWE but comes back for Wrestlemania anyway despite the fact he could be making much more money doing something else that weekend with much less risk. If Rock gets injured at WM he could lose millions off missing 1 film, Cena would have to miss the whole year.
2) Rock went away and became a "Movie Star", well what about the fans who don't get to see John Cena while he was filming the marine, or 12 rounds. Similarly Zak Ryder is currently off TV filming. 3) Cena was one of the millions who missed Rock when he left before he could say "Rocky don't go", except he came back at least three times after that to help WWE out of the sh*t when Austin left suddenly. Rock's promo tonight wasn't the killer I hoped it would be, but Cena has in no way won, not even close. He is still clinging on to the idea that Rock is oh so selfish for leaving yet has done similar (less successfull) projects himself. Rock doesn't need to come back to WWE as much as WWE needs him to come back, its not like Rock's career has failed and he is back looking for a paycheque. Cena called Rock out on the wrist notes, but other than that nothing Cena said or did was new, he already said that last week. One overall feeling does strike me though, for all the worked shoots and back and forth, not once has Cena aknowledged that the reason Rock states that we hate Cena is 100% on the money. Anyway, great atmosphere, great crowd, and the fued is definately heating up going into WM. As long as noone gets injured, it should be a great month or so. |

I also think unlike Cena, he's not really taking this as personal as Cena is which is why Cena's sounds a lot better because of the motivation. The biggest benefit the Rock has with his promos is the crowd stays active a lot longer than with Cena to the point they start to really take over his segments. |

Cena will never be the entertainer, or athlete The Rock is. What exactly did Cena add to it? All he said is the same thing he always says, "you left for hollywood shame on you for trying to become a global star, shame on you for living your dream" It's all bullshit, Cena can't touch what the Rock has accomplished not only in the world of wrestling, but in the world of entertainment. No matter what Cena says, the fact is, he is "The Man" in an era where the WWE has never been more irrelevant to the entertainment world. The numbers speak for themselves, |

Well Cena would have been a lot better to not leave the ring with such "hustle" and given some time to look The Rock in the eye for a length of time, which is the one thing he didn't do. Great segment, great build for WM especially for Jericho/Punk and Teddy/Ace. Looking forward to HBK next week too... Triple Threat?

Excuses for what? The Rock was brought in tonight to do one thing, entertain. If you didn't notice, the audience was in the palm of his hand the whole time, as was most of the world. Just look at twitter, #Cenasmissingballs is still trending world wide. What exactly are we making excuses for?

I have always disliked Face Rock. I am firmly on John Cena's side. I think Rock really needs to be a heel in this whole thing.
.... and by being a heel he would be ten time more interesting, and he would also actually still get massively cheered. |

So do you believe honestly that Vince or someone else in the backstage area is not telling the Rock to get whatever he can to trend?
I can say with 100% positivity that it is the case, and is exactly why he is doing it. It is a form of Marketing that otherwise could cost millions of dollars to produce. In the end, all the marketing in the world will not save this business if we have a guy like John Cena leading the way as "The Man" it has been proven the last how many years. This is why when Wrestlemania comes around, you see guys like The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, HHH, StoneCold Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, ect ect ect.. Because without them, they would have to sell the show with John Cena, CM Punk, and whoever else is the top stars in this company now a days. Fact is, Rock is there to sell tickets, and PPV buys, and by getting millions (AND MILLIONS ) of people to talk about him, Cena, Cena's lady parts, Cena's missing balls, Kung Pow Bitch, ect ect, on twitter, how exactly can that be a bad thing in way of exposure to the fact they are fighting at Mania?

no one is telling the rock what to say except for the personal writters he has employed for the last 13 years. vince isnt feeding him anyhting. and as far as the rock selling tickets last time i checked survivor series was a massive draw...right?

As opposed to the usual "Rock left for hollywood, said he was back and not going anywhere" crap Cena says EVERY week. Or the "I was a Rocky fan too" or "Why did you leave Rock?" All the while people are chanting Rocky and could care less what Cena is actually saying. |

A) a shows success or failure is creditied to the main and only the main. anything else is excuses.
B) did you see the rest of the card that had cena/punk? same could be said but dont let that get in the way of your lack of facts. C) if cena was the problem guess mania is fucked...but of course by that logic cena/punk shouldnt have drawn...cause you know he was at the top of that card too...by your own logic punk > rock tho so i can go with that. |

I kinda get the feeling Rock didn't know Cena was gonna come out. Cena's interruption felt kinda random after it happened. Especially after Rock seemed kinda flustered.

And the "kung pow bitch" stuff was pretty lame. Especially if it was one of the things he wrote on his hand ahead of time. Kind of afraid it was.

Uh... where have you been the last 5 years? Cena is a massive draw. See most of those ppv buys are coming from kid's parents who wanna see the show. Almost every wrestling fan I know irl watches 90% of the ppvs of the year through streams. Rock may = Chanting, but Chanting doesn't = $$$.
