Do you think The Rock knows...

It depends on what the Rock values. The Rock/Cena feud that spanned three Wrestlemanias and main evented two was largely successful; there was commercial success, and the booking was perfect even if it wasn't terribly exciting or original. The matches themselves weren't classics but I think in the vast majority of fans' minds they delivered. I thought I wouldn't care about either of them but in the end they drew me in and my expectations were exceeded by a bit. Rock and Cena had very good matched but probably not the best matches the two could have. I attribute this to them being largely established, the Rock having nothing to prove and Cena having little to prove other than the notion that he could hang with the rock. Neither of them "left it all in the ring." They didn't need to tear down the house, they only needed to deliver a solid outing. And they did. I'm sure the Rock knows that both of those matches could have been better, but given that there were other matches on both cards that Rock/Cena was never going to top in terms of a great match, it was probably wise that they didn't kill themselves to outshine everyone else.
