LOL at anyone judging Rock for his films. Wrestling fans don't own him. His original goal was to be an actor, which makes the criticisms even funnier. He came back for the fans. It surely isn't the money or fame, he has more of that than anyone else currently in the business.

I would also rather see The Tooth Fairy than Fred or Fred 2.

Not sure if this was posted yet but it was posted on WrestleZone today:
WZ has learned that John Cena referencing The Rock having notes on his wrist, which were visible on RAW, was not a planned part of the show.
There was much speculation that it was scripted for Cena to call out The Rock's notes, but that appears to be incorrect. The Rock legitimately had the notes to refer to if needed for his lengthy live promo. As WZ columnist Mark Madden wrote, it is something The Rock has done for years.
I spoke to a source close to the situation who reminded me of last year when John Cena responded to one of the taped promos The Rock did where Cena made mention of being able to the see the teleprompter The Rock was reading off of in the reflection.
It seems that the improvised comments revealing some of the tricks The Rock uses to perform his promos is one of the best public examples of the genuine animosity between The Rock and John Cena. The source says there are other comments they make on-air about one another that are “just as surprising” as Cena making mention of the notes, the difference being the notes on the wrist comment is unusual for fans to hear in a wrestling promo.
In addition to this knowledge, WWE's official YouTube account does not have any video of that segment on RAW posted anymore. This is surprising because they typically post most segments of each episode of RAW. This was the big promoted return of The Rock to RAW and the first time the two had been face to face since Survivor Series so you would think that would be a video archived on WWE's YouTube. In addition, WWE has all of the other segments recently or from earlier in 2011 that the two appeared in together.
There are other videos of that segment on RAW uploaded by people not affiliated with WWE. These copies of the show are taken from different television feeds around the world and posted without the authorization of WWE. There are several videos that are uploaded courtesy of certain international television networks where it appears the notes on The Rock's wrist are blocked out via a block that is the matching color of The Rock's arm. WWE RAW does air or repeat at a later time in some markets around the world which seems to indicate they edited the segment for airing after it happen live.
This seems to be another example and story furthering the many reports about the true dislike and competitiveness The Rock and John Cena seem to have for one another.

I started to believe the wrist notes weren't planted or planned, when Rock got on Twitter and mentioned something along the lines of loads of other great performers using prompts too.
Does make ya laugh though, when you consider all those Rock fans telling people they are fools if they believe the notes weren't planned and desperately defending Rock the other week.

If he was really embarrassed about it I don't know why he'd call extra attention to it. Just my take.

Rock using notes really doesn't bother me seeing as alot of great mic talkers have used notes in the past including CM Punk and Jericho he's still great on the mic and can improv if need be. The same thing goes with a teleprompter alot of wrestlers with the WWE I'm sure have used them just like actors, politicians, public speakers, talk show hosts etc.

And FWIW, I'm pretty sure Punk had notes written on his wrist tape during his infamous promo last summer.

Hey, I'm not saying they definitely were unplanned and I'm not calling people fools for thinking they were planted there. Plus, I don't even see the big deal about it, some people were saying 'I've lost respect for The Rock if he needed notes', and I'm just thinking 'wha?' It was funny that Cena pointed them out, and funny (if true) that the greatest promo guy in WWE history needed prompts, I can't deny that. But I haven't 'lost respect' for him because of it, that's ridiculous.

A year ago we were waiting for this match to be announced and now it will finally happen in 5 days. The promo, entrances and staredown will be epic.

Damn, remember back when Cena said he was gonna win the WWE Title before 'Mania 28 and defend it against Rock?
Thank God that didn't happen. Would have been so dumb.

At first i actually wanted that to happen so Rock can win the Title on more time but that would be pointless. This match doesn't need to be for the Title and the WWE Title is helping the Jericho vs Punk match alot.

If I had a penny for every time someone called me an idiot for predicting the Rock to win i'd have a fortune.
In other words, your all wrong.

Either this feud is over or lightning will strike twice and Cena finally gets his win over The Rock. At the end of the day it doesn't matter anymore that Rock won, Cena's feud with Lesnar makes up for Rock failing to put over Cena and Lesnar had made everyone completely forget about The Rock for now but we will most likely see one last WWE Title run from the great one.
