    I highly doubt there is genuine heat between the two and to say Rock would taint his legacy lying down for him is not fair. Hogan laid down for Rock and came out of it looking like the bigger star, and Rock will have the same effect if he does so for Cena.

    John Cena said a variety of things that came across my desk which at first I thought was interesting and then I felt was laughable because the comments really didn't make any sense to me. To be clear, not that they ever make me mad. I just thought the comments were an interesting choice of things to say.

    8 pages on last weeks Raw thread, 31 here thus far - Now you're seeing what kind of star power this man has!

    But that's what makes it so epic. It's the guy who dominated the WWE the past 6 years vs the guy who dominated it the 6 years before that.

    This is like a Rock/Hogan style match. The reactions will be breathtaking.
    yeah but the Rock was awesome for the whole time he was at the top whereas I'd say Cena has really diminished the quality of both his promos and wrestling, watching his old matches he used to be a lot better technically and his promos could stand up to the big hitters around then even if they were a bit corny. Tonight's one didn't even get me to break a smile. Hopefully Cena can step his game up for this though. I would have liked him to come down tonight tbh but I guess you can't have everything :D

    btw, that was a fantastic job the WWE did of keeping it (reasonably) quiet and I was ready to let rip after I seen the woman's legs :o

    Yeah I'm reading that myself ha and to me that's just The Rock building the hype. If it comes across as real then the fans will invest in it even more. I would bet the two of them were talking and hanging out earlier and I wouldn't be surprised if Cena was told what was gonna be in the promo tonight.

    By the way I've tried to ask if he will do a Rock Concert III and the feckers won't show my question. :pac:

    Rock - After SEVEN long years… FINALLY…. FINALLY… FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO ANAHEIM! Which means that FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW! WHICH MEANS FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK… HOME! Now before the Rock gets into that. Before we electrify and turn this out. For those who don’t know, the Rock has many nicknames. The Great One… THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN IN ALL OF ENTERTAINMENT! The People’s Champion! But I wanna tell ya something that’s important to me. I need to tell you something as Dwayne. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back. Seven years to be exact. I wanna tell this moment to tell you why I’m back. It’s not because of the money. It’s not to promote a movie. I am back in the middle of the ring because of YOU. When I left the WWE seven years ago, I dreamed big and you all helped me accomplish my dreams because you never left my side. And I wanna take this moment to tell you all here, and the MILLIONS watching around the world - thank you, I love you. And it is because of you that I’m in this ring and I give you my word - I’m never, EVER going away. THE ROCK IS BACK! The Rock is back because I wanted to something no one had ever done before - I WANTETD TO HOST WRESTLEMANIA. So the Rock called Vince and Vince said Rock, I know why you’re calling. Rock, there’s only one man electrifying enough to host WrestleMania. THAT MAN CAN ONLY BE JUSTIN BEIBER! I TOLD VINCE nah, the Rock knows Justin he’s cool - cool kid, but THERE’S ONLY ONE MAN capable enough to host WrestleMania. That man is the jabroni beating, pie eating, foot on the gas and always ready to whoop some ass THE ROCK! The Rock is going to WrestleMania and at the drop of a dime, the Rock will layeth the smack down at WrestleMania. But to who? Could it be the WWE Champion, the Miz? I’M THE MIZ AND I’M AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. Well the Rock ain’t no scientist, but if you have to tell everyone how awesome you are, IT MEANS YOU SUCK! But there’s one more man who the Rock wants to see… one more man who the Rock has to see…and that man….

    (GM dings)

    Cole - CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!? I’VE JUST RECEIVED AN E-MAIL!

    Rock - WOAH WOAH WOAH! Cole, if you take another step towards that computer, the Rock will slap the taste out of your moth so hard you’ll never get it back. You think the Rock’s just gonna let you interrupt him when he’s live on Raw? You think that any of us give a damn what your GM has to say?! Cole, is that what you think?

    Cole - I’ll tell you…

    Rock - IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! What you do is sit your ass down, take off your headset, and don’t say a word. AND I QUOTE - know your damn role and shut your damn mouth! BECAUSE IF YA DON’T, the Rock will have some cool Facebook pictures to put on his Facebook tonight! Facebook/DwayneJohnson. If Cole doesn’t do what the Rock says, you’ll get a picture of the Rock going over to that computer…some of you may know where I’m going with this… Shining it up real nice, turning that sumbitch sideways and sticking it straight up his candy ass. NOW SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, YOU LOOK LIKE A DRUNK HOBBIT! THERE IS ONE MAN THAT THE ROCK IS GONNA SEE. Who he has to see face-to-face… a guy who I met, who I thought was a cool guy…wished him well. Happy for his success, and when the Rock leaves, he eventually starts talking trash about the Rock… I don’t know why and I don’t care. But I’m back now…HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!

    Crowd - CENA SUCKS! CENA SUCKS!

    Rock - So lemme get this straight, the WWE has gone from the POWERFUL 3:16 to the dominant AND CAN YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!? ALL THE WAY TO…you can’t see me!? YOU PLAYING PEEK A BOO!? WE CAN ALL SEE YA! A blindfolded Stevie Wonder can see your monkey ass! How the hell you think we can miss? You got a bright-ass purple shirt, before that, green, then orange. YOU LOOK LIKE A BOWL OF FRUITY PEBBLES! John Cena, the Rock will see you at WrestleMania. Just like he will see the Miz at WrestleMania, and just as he will see everyone. Just as sure as every day Cena walks out here looking like he got shot out of Barney’s anus, the Rock guaran-damn-tees to show that world that he’s the most electrifying man in all of entertainment. That the Rock will layeth the smacketh down on all their candy asses, and the last and most important thing - THE ROCK, AND THE MILLIONS…Nah nah nah, THE ROCK AND THE MILLIONS…. NAH, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THE ROCK IS PEOPLE’S CHAMP, YOU ARE THE BACKBONE, AND WE ALL SAY IT, THE WORLD IS WATCHING. WHEN THE ROCK AND THE MILLIONS… OF THE ROCK’S FANS GO THE WRESTLEMANIA! IF YOU SMELLL WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKING!


    just awesome

    Corey Clayton (WWE.com):
    Many fans are asking about your role as Host of WrestleMania. In the past, guest hosts of Raw have made matches, changed stipulations, and even got "hands-on" ... Question: How "active" of a Host do you plan to be for WrestleMania XXVII?


    DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON:
    My goal is to create an incredible show. The guys have prepared for this night all year and they are going to put on incredible wrestling matches and I am there to not only support their matches but work with the great WWE production team and put on an electrifying show. That means I will be backstage and in the ring creating unforgettable and iconic WrestleMania moments.

    really sounds like he wont be wrestling :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    Some of the questions getting through are fairly dire.

    "How did you get the name, the rock"
    "What did cena say?"


    Maybe the possible WM match with cena could be the time that WWE start turning the key for a cena heel turn.

    After the reaction tonight they'd be mental not to book Rock V Cena and don't give me any long build explanation, usually I like long builds but I want this and I want it now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Didn't he not just say few weeks back in interview he never wrestle again I can see few rock bottoms maybe a peoples elbow no match though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q


    Its the most cryptic thing like! He says he will be in the ring... I hope he's on raw for the next few weeks,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Next year's WM is in Miami - Rock's hometown maybe then Cena V Rock

    I do think he will go into the HOF next year

    in retrospect i'm thinking that was smoke and mirrors.

    .
    Dwayne Johnson's classic 'Rock' promo 2nite on RAW was the best thing on RAW in recent memory. Young wrestlers hopefully paid attention. [via Twitter]

    Can't see him being on raw it might just blow the whole buzz excitement him clashing with other wrestler at mania. Many new fans could get sick of seeing him I think little bits are better with this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    There's a poll on the site asking who would win in a match between Rock and Cena. Has to be something in it.

    Maybe Rock vs Cena will happen at Summerslam? Could they not find a way to get the match to happen at Mania though I wonder.

    Well lads. I'm off to bed for an hours sleep. For once, it was worth it. It kind of almost feels good to be a pro wrestling fan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I doubt Rock will on Raw next week as Taker's big return is

    Has Cena said anything yet on twitter?

    I cant wait to hear Cena and Miz's promos on Rock next week or will it be ignored surely not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 576 ✭✭✭StoneColdFan


    Even if he doesn't wrestle a rock bottom and peoples elbow to Cena will be fine with me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Why did I miss this...FML.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    2 things worry me about a potential Rock vs Cena match. Could the Rock carry Cena to a good match after 7 years out of the Ring & would he have to put the bumbling Cena over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now

    Even that be surprise to me but guess u never no....

    I see some people say it will be similar to Rock/Hogan and Rock is classy enough to put Cena over, but is it really like Rock/Hogan??? Both men in that case were legends. Icon v. Icon they phrased it and it was true for sure

    Cena is not at that level, people were happy to see Rock beat Hogan but I don't think people would appreciate Cena beating the Rock. The lad is not in his league and never would be in a million years.

    It just shows you how poor the WWE is today. When Lesnar beat Rock during his short but successful run that was far easier to take than it would be for Cena (who has been around ages) beating a semi retired Rock at mania.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    I'm in awe. Is he only doing Mania or is he back properly?


    Greatest promo I've ever seen. One man destroying everything wrestling has become and you can be assured they won't **** up any Cena - Rock confrontation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Had to go online and find a replay of the show.

    **** me. Lights go out, bang. Beyond epic. Love it.

    To quote Matt Striker "I'm marking out bro!!!"

    Absolutely epic,I honestly thought I'd never see the Rock in a WWE ring again so this just made my week!

    And Cena, Prepare for your unexpected Heel turn. :pac:
