Torn Abdomen = The Rock is so Fake

He doesn't need to appear on Raw every week, the same as the WWE don't want him wrestling for free on weekly television. He paid his dues over a decade ago when he became the Superstar and multi-time Champion that he was, in the middle of arguably the WWE's most successful period, the Attitude Era. The time was right to venture new waters and he earn't himself a ton of money in Hollywood. He stayed away until the time was right, when he'd get rewarded with the 15 appearances a year big money contract that deep down, every Superstar wants to get.

It's absolute logical business that for your biggest Show of the year, you put your Companies main Championship on there most mainstream Star, to give them the biggest possible ounce of mainstream publicity building to there biggest Show, Wrestlemania.

Enjoy it for what it is while he's here. He's not going to become a full time Superstar feuding with talent left and right. He doesn't need to. I agree, his same weekly promo's are nothing close to what we got with The Rock of 10 years ago, but I'd rather have him there than not at all.

People talk about how the WWE should be building for the future, when really, they're doing it the best possible way. By having The Rock Main Event there biggest Show against there biggest current star John Cena, it's catching the eye again of the casual fan, and even bringing back old fans that used to watch in the Attitude Era. If they were to keep the likes of Triple H, The Rock and Brock Lesnar away, then yes a Main Event of Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk for the Title might appeal to those who watch the product on a weekly basis, but it sure as hell doesn't help the Company to grow and attract attention from the casual fan on the street.

That's strange, as I recall him being a wrestler before an actor... I also seem to recall his father and grandfather being wrestlers.

I can't blame The Rock for wanting to leave when he did all those years ago, it's a tough, brutal business and he wanted to get out before he wrecked his body and try and have a go at something else that he was passionate about.

The Rock isn't here now for the money. He could give half of it away, never work another day in his life and still live luxuriously for the remainder of his years. He's here because he loves wrestling. End of.

I don't have a problem with him being back even as a part-timer (same with Brock), cause he definitely adds ratings/buyrates to the show and makes whatever match he's in a main event.

that said,I DO have an issue with him being the WWE Champion,and the top guy in the company, when that spot is meant to be used to help promote WWE not only within wrestling,but as much as possible outside of wrestling,into the mainstream and pop cultures. this is something that Dwayne cannot do properly at the moment.

Cena is more fake IMO.

Yeah, he puts his much more lucrative film career at risk every time he works a match because he doesn't want to be there. Makes sense.

It appears the op is the fool. Hope you enjoyed the time you wasted writing that opening comment and starting this thread. Nobody agrees with you. Very one sided way of thinking.

Not quite the same thing, but the thread reminds me of this image:




Some guy had a sign of it front row at last years 'Mania.

Speak for yourself. Can't stand the son of a bitch and I do wish he would disappear. Go make Tooth Fairy 3 and let the adults do their job and be WWE Champion. Usually I don't, but The Rock is one case where I agree with Superstar Billy Graham. Go look up his rant from when Dwayne couldn't be bothered to have the belt with him on Leno or mention WrestleMania, or let alone even WWE.

Regardless of what he does outside the ring, he's still far, far, far, far superior to John Cena when it's time to perform. That's all that really matters.
