    Completely agree with you. It will definitely sway those fans on the fence. I'm sure if he is involved, he'll probably start appearing on tv shows around America to promote his apperance, so hopefully it'll bring in some extra viewers.

    What sort of role do you think he'd have though? Assuming they can't make it "The Rock" night as he won't be there post-mania.

    Maybe special guest referee or just general wandering around host?

    It's really interesting though if it is him, and I hope it is.

    im guessing a wander around, itl just be Raw GM turned up to 11. He will introduce an angle recap or two, interview a few superstars, probably tear into one of them. He will introduce the hall of fame class... he will essentially take most of Finkel and cos job for the night and make those nothing moments in highlights. Rock Cena/SCSA/Miz/HHH altercations etc

    Any chance they'll get the Coach or Kevin Kelly back for the night for an interview or two? :):)

    i think michael cole would be perfect to interview him now, remember when Rock put his t-shirt over coles head during an interview once, coles persona now against The Rock i think could be very entertaining. actually there is so many entertaining possibilities that could happen, cole, the miz, maybe even a piece with austin to promote tough enough. i just hope the wwe drop the PG stuff for Rock to use his catchphrases, cos if they dont i'm not sure what he can do.

    If it's The Rock then I definitely intend to buy the PPV. That would sell it for me. Since Austin is set to do the Tough Enough thing then they could have some sort of a Mania segment together to play off their three previous encounters. Maybe even sing a song again. :)

    Also screw The Miz, it's a Rock/Cena confrontation that everyone wants to see. As much as I like and admire Cena, even I will mark out if The Rock talks trash on him.

    you mean like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kWZrJicj-Y :D

    Yeah exactly. There was more excitement in that moment than in 95% of the confrontations the WWE do. To see those two in the ring exchanging words with each other would be epic. :cool:

    If the rock is the WM host, then does that mean he can make some matches?

    Some Wrestling sites are now saying it could be Bob Barker. Maybe its a swerve but Barker would be a HUGE kick in the balls after the Rock rumours.

    "Personification of that special moment."
    "A man who set a bar, set a record like no one else"

    Hmmm...

    While many people are speculating that it will be revealed to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, sources within WWE indicate that many employees are under the impression that the guest host will be none other than former Price Is Right host Bob Barker.

    Barker is scheduled to be the guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on tonight CBS.

    What a disappointment it will be if it turns out to be barker. Especially after a big build up (and the rumours that it could be The Rock)


    Why would anyone who wasn't buying the PPV then decide to buy just because Bob Barker is host?

    It says on WWE.com that there will be a live chat with the guest host on WWE.com after Raw tonight.

    Makes me think its not The Rock for some reason :(

    Oh for the days when a total swerve like Jericho, Goldberg or Lesnar would have been possible. It couldn't be H's return could it?

    It won't be Lesnar or Goldberg thats for sure,they wouldn't waste Jericho as a Host on a no doubt lean card.I was thinking that return after the Chamber could be Hbk probably not the place to write it.

    Thought it was meant to be John Cena & Randy Orton vs. CM Punk & The Miz with Michael Cole as referee?

    Jeez the amount of matches they give away for free on TV these days. Different age etc but WCW got slated for doing this back in the 90s.

    No, that's the dark match for the arena after Raw goes off the air (esp with the bit in bold involved)

    Oh yeah, don't expect King to be on Raw either, his mother died over the weekend, aged 90
    Source:

    According to various reports, Jerry Lawler's mother Hazel passed away on Sunday at the age of 90. Lawler's mother had reportedly been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the last six years and her health had been declining in the last year. Arrangements are being made today at Family Funeral Care in Memphis. Lawler isn't expected at tonight's Monday Night Raw in Anaheim.
