Yeah, just saw that too.
I didn't expect him to bring the title, but I thought he might of gave Mania a plug along with his movie.

I noticed that too, and was considering posting about it.
I get that movies are his priority, but seriously, he's the WWE champion, Wrestlemania is just around the corner, and he chooses to not even so much as mention that he'll be competing in the main event. Unreal.

Cant even promote the WWE or plug WM29? da fuq? They made Punk drop the belt to a guy that doesnt really even care about it, Ive lost all respect for Rock. |

I sometimes wish Rock didnt come back because nowadays most people just complain about him - he's damned if he does/ he's damned if he doesn't.

After reading this, now I'm really rooting for Cena to win the title.

I don't get it. The Rock couldn't clear a month? not even for the buildup? He knew 2 years ago.

Its ridiculous. He just needs to drop the belt and go back away. I was a huge fan of this guy in the attitude era but now its clear he doesnt give 2 craps about the business, He is the WWE Champion but has spent the last 3 out of 4 weeks away when ing WM is a few days away. |

This stuff with The Rock is really rubbing me the wrong way...
..this is just further proof.. I mean I know The Rock is a draw... but him being WWE Champion is a slap in the face.. GO AWAY.
I am honestly disappointed in Vince McMahon right now. This is garbage.

The Rock has been promoting G.I. Joe, that's was why he hasn't been on Raw the past two weeks. I doubt anybody has considered this. G.I. Joe was supposed to come out last summer, but was delayed until now to upgrade to 3D. If G.I. Joe came out last summer like it was supposed to, The Rock would probably have been able to appear on Raw the last two weeks.
As far as The Rock's appearance on Leno, I didn't see it, but was it about promoting G.I. Joe or promoting WrestleMania? Why would he promote one if it's about promoting the other.

It's not like wrestling is below Jay Leno or anything.

Honestly, no reason for him not to have the belt and mention WM. If he's on Leno, he can mention several things. Especially considering the GI Joe movie and WWE have worked together in cross promoting already.

the bottom line is this:
he's not a wrestler anymore.
yeah,he appears sporadically at Raw's and PPV's. yeah,he does wrestle at PPV's/yeah,he's the current WWE Champion. but he is NOT a wrestler anymore. he hasn't been one since 2003.he's a movie star. he uses the wrestling fanbase when he wants some money or has something to promote,cause he knows he has the name value and the nostalgic value. wrestling is his 2nd or 3rd priority right now.
and the Rock apologists will come in and say he's earned that right,and Vince agreed to it so it's not his fault,etc. ALL TRUE. but those of us who love wrestling,who live and breath it,who watch these guys kill themselves 300 days a year are disgusted by this,and I'm sure he's popular with the boys in the back for all this non-committal to actually helping WWE out on a regular basis.
Dwayne Johnson doesn't really care about wrestling anymore,despite what he says. to quote Batman Begins , "It's not who I am underneath,but what I DO that defines me."

20 Years Later..... History Repeats Itself. Respected,technical Champion having the best matches is stripped of the Championship to give it to the returning former Champion to try and hot-shot the promotion for the brief time he will be there.   "Let's Do The Time Warp AGAAAAIIIINNNNN!"  |

Dwayne Johnson doesn't really care about wrestling anymore,despite what he says. to quote Batman Begins , "It's not who I am underneath,but what I DO that defines me." That's not the bottom line. The fact is, the main reason that he was given the title was so HE COULD PROMOTE THE COMPANY AND WRESTLEMANIA. They gave it to him so he could use his star power and bring in more viewers. But if no mention is made of him being WWE champion or him main eventing Wrestlemania, how could any fair weather fan know that he's even wrestling at all anymore? This was a huge, HUGE blunder on someone's part. No doubt the guys in the back who were complaining last year about him coming back and "taking their spot" just had their complaints totally justified. Also, anyone notice how no mention has been made about him not being there? Cena was all over him last year about "bringing it via satellite" but no mention has been made at all about it. Not even by Punk from what I can remember. I was ALMOST finally on board with him being given the title, but this just put a bad taste in my mouth. |
