I don't want The Rock back...

First let me say that, although this is my first post, I have been an everyday avid reader and follower of tpww.net for years. I am not sure why I haven't signed up to post until just now. Anyway, I know I am probably painting a huge bullseye on my forehead for saying that I do not want The Rock back in WWE, but let me explain.

I love The Rock. He was one of the greatest personalities ever and had unparalleled charisma and natural talent. He was especially great as a heel (see the Toronto promo after they booed him at Wrestlemania.)

However, this PG garbage in the WWE makes me want to lobotomize myself with a rusty spork. Now, I know The Rock said he wanted to invoke the "Attitude" era whenever he made his appearance and if done properly...would be HUGE. I am just concerned that WWE will not give him the freedom to completely be himself. I know that money is what drives Vinnie Mac and he is cramming this PG crap down our throats so he can continue to get sponsorship dollars from Mattel or whatever, but how far could they let The Rock go and not raise any eyebrows (no pun intended.)
Think of the Jabroni beatin', pie eatin', lalalalala, etc. Do you really think a promotion that stops matches when people bleed would let him make reference to sex? The best we get now are gay jokes when it comes to stuff like that. I am not saying that The Rock has changed or that he can't be amazing like he always was. I am simply saying that if the WWE thinks they would be doing us a favor by giving us a PG driven / watered down ghost of what could have been a great night with the most charismatic champion EVER...they are wrong. While we are on the topic...how do you all see a PG show with Stone Cold hosting going? No middle fingers....no Austin just whipped your ass...lucky if we get "Gimme a hell yeah!" I may be completely wrong about this and the shows could be AMAZING, but I also thought the show with Bret returning would be amazing. Aside from the Michaels segment...meh.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
