The Rock will NOT be at Wrestlemania

Well you never know. Cena tricked everyone by saying he wont be back until like May.

him.

Exactly what I was
thinking

Ill wait to see what happens at Mania.

I don't want anyone with no passion in the business coming in.

Didn't expect him to come anyway. He wants nothing to do with it.

Not at all. That's like saying your average actor who got his big break should give a piece of his salary to everyone that's ever helped him out. I agree that The Rock should be at Wrestlemania for when they call out the Hall of Famer's and their inductors, but he's making one appearance and the rest is out of his control really. Just because he's The Rock, doesn't mean he can cancel one day of movie filming. I'm sure he signed a contract and he wouldn't want to mess with that. Who knows, maybe he'll play a more active role when he's older, but he's done all he could in the wrestling industry, so to speak, and he's helped make the WWE careers of former talent like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.

He hasn't contributed like other legends who left have, like Austin, and hell, I hate to say it, but even Hogan who made appearances in 2005 and 2006; but he has contributed and I guess that's all you can ask out of someone who's really not going to put much more in. Can you blame him, though? His annual salary has increased by millions of dollars, he doesn't have to risk his life and body, and he can spend quality time with his wife and kids on a daily basis.

Quite frankly, just like Trish Stratus, I am glad The Rock left when he did. I may be repeating myself here, but I believe he wanted to leave when he was still at a high point in his career and not barely hanging on by a string like Ric Flair - no disrespect to the Naitch' whatsoever.

I feel like I keep going back and proving myself wrong, though. I mean, Trish Stratus made an appearance at the Raw 15th Anniversary show. The Rock should have, as well, but didn't. But then again, I am sure he is getting praised in the movie industry for cutting that part of his life out and that it's making a difference ever since the Benoit tragedy occured. He doesn't want to associate himself and attract negative attention toward himself, because whether he's innocent or not, the media will make it into a negative, and with all of the films he contributes to Disney for kids probably don't want their star in that light because again, people will make it their business to take everything out of context, and it could play a big role in how well the movie sells once released in theaters.

I think at the Hall Of Fame when he shows up and everyone does a "YOU SOLD OUT" chant he might realize what made him "The Rock" and come back?.

He IS, however, worthy of being cut off mid-promo, told that it doesn't matter what his name is, and ultimately, on the receiving end of the Rock Bottom and People's Elbow.
