I'm surprised he's even appearing with the negative press WWE has gotten this year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why appear on a wrestling event when he doesn't want to wrestle? I can't blame him for not wanting to associate with the WWE give3n it's current state, but if he is too busy and his current line of work and the insurance it entails prohibits him from wrestling, wouldn't he be better off just staying away and making money as a movie star rather than possibly facing scorn for only popping by for a large PA cheque on the biggest show of the year?

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 I don't think the WWE needs Rock at all right now...what good does a 1 shot appearance at WM do? People usually buy it anyway...if he can't contribute fulltime, make a surprise appearance here and there on Raw but stay the fuck away otherwise... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caliban 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2005 When was the last time Rock appeared on WWE TV? Wrestlemania 20? I'm thinking that a lot of new fans, the Cena generation, won't even know who Rock even is anymore. He's been out of the game too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 I'm sure Rock isn't trying to be associated right now with a product that is cold right now in the mainstream and the last time the mainstream media gave WWE any attention, it was for the Muhammed Hassan debacle.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Yay...Rock will probably be sitting in the front row for the first couple matches, get in the ring and cut a half hearted promo about how it's great to be "at Wrestlemania 22...the most electrifying event in sports entertainment history...in front of the millions (and millions) of the Rock's fans...blah blah blah". Then he'll leave the building and go to a real party with real stars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
