Well, it's Rock/Cena, a match people have been talking about for years.

The thing is that since WrestleMania is being held in Miami (The Rock's hometown), WWE has refused to have him go heel, as he did in 2003.

If THAT Rock had shown up to feud with Cena, I'm sure this match would have a lot more buzz around it than it does. AND the whole build-up would've been a lot more interesting.

The last tweet by Cena seems a bit odd seeing as the Rock said nothing about gays unless he's referring to some other tweet not mentioned.

I guess he's referring to the whole "Fruity Pebble" thing.

“I was electrifying Topeka when you were sucking on yum rockets in college."

Didn't even notice the double meaning until now (and a quick search on urban dictionary).

Literally thought he meant those ice cream bars shaped like rockets.

The more and more Cena goes on with the feud in this manner, the more and more it becomes obvious that he needs to shut up or have someone from the company write the material - he doesn't come across as the guy pointing out how much of a hypocrite the Rock is, he comes across as a self entitled jilted fan.

Ill see u april 1st. Meanwhile ill do my job…one that I would never leave. The one I love. The one u left. #everyotherdaybesideswrestlemaina. That should hold #Teamfilmit over until the Super Bowl.” “But ill leave u with this..I speak fact, not politics. What is Dwayne gonna do…..Get u guys to boo me louder? Yeah…that’s worked for the past 5 years RISE ABOVE HATE. HUSTLE. LOYALTY. RESPECT.”

Its one thing to chastise the guy for lying to the fan base about never leaving and then promptly leaving. Its another to chastise the guy for being a movie star - which at best comes across as sour grapes and at worst comes across as professional jealousy. Sorry, John. Hollywood doesn't want you and after movies like the Marine and 12 rounds, I can't say that I blame them. Worse yet, let's chastise a guy that as far as we all understand is NOT under contract and has no obligation to be here. Its not even silly, its kinda punk-ish.

Which is not to say that the Rock is absolved in all of this - he isn't. The man promised the fans a bill of goods and didn't deliver. He hasn't been seen live on ANY WWE show in months and if fans wanted to boo the guy but its probably justified but only for breaking that promise. Like Cena coming across as entitled, booing the guy for being a movie star now is wielding a ridiculous sense of entitlement. He left, he said he was never leaving again. I didn't believe him and frankly, I don't see why any fan should have believed him. Beyond that, its nonsensical. Consider:

You: I love my job, I want to be with this company and I'm never leaving!

Hollywood: We want to offer you an opportunity where you make more, work less, travel less and get more time with your family. Plus, you're substantially less likely to be crippled when you leave this profession.

Tough to blame the guy for saying no.


Bottom line, the feud blows right now. Rock wants to swing dick for having done everything that Cena is doing and Cena comes across as a whiny jilted fan. Here's hoping for substantial pick up soon.

Agreed. Cena's full of shit. The idea that Cena wouldn't be doing the exact same thing Rock is if he had the opportunity is ridiculous. He really comes across as jealous and bitter when he mocks Rock for being a movie star.

Not really what I'm arguing since there's no way to prove whether it is or isn't. As I said above, if this is the best Cena can do then someone else needs to be directing the "promos."

I will say that given that this is generally in line with what Cena has had to say about it (mostly what every wrestler seems to have to say about it), I'll bet its not far off of the tuth

The Rock and John Cena are back to taking shots at each other via Twitter, prior to their face-to-face meeting at the WrestleMania 29 press conference in New Jersey later today. Cena started by tweeting this: “Looks like my buddy Dwayne is headed to Metlife Stadium tomorrow for WrestleMania 29…I got nothing to do..see u there amigo.” “Saw Dwayne wished me happy valentines…For those that didn’t get the ‘pink part’ thing he once again is re referencing my mangina. So I propose this…Cena tampons. ‘That time of the month got u feeling bad, just put a lil Cena inside ya he’ll make ya feel fine’ #champax. Or Cena feminine wash. ‘Tough day south of the equator? Lather some Cena on there and they can’t smell you!’ #massCENAgil. That’s the late nite act kiddos. Be back for the morning show at Metlife Stadium tomorrow. See u then movie star.” Later, someone tweeted The Rock that Cena called himself a tampon, to which The Rock tweeted: “Mission accomplished. (Easy mission btw).”
