Thats awesome that The Rock came back. I haven't been following wrestling in a long time, but the Rock was one of my favorites growing up. He still has the mic skills after all these years.

Agreed. If the Rock never left, I may have never stopped watching!

His promo was 20 minutes there, and it was amazing.

anyway here's a treat for you guys: Brock Lesnar Vs Mr Perfect (2002) Dark Match
It figures.

I wonder who the crowd will side with when they fued(like when the Rock had his icon vs icon match with Hogan). Is one of them going heel? Logically, I could see it being the Rock, but a Cena turn would be so much more interesting.

Shame Michaels is not still around to feud with Rock, but that still leaves................

THE GAME!

Course there's plenty of fresh faces for the Rock to feud with. THE ROCK versus THE MIZ will be awesome

Where do you get that he's going to wrestle?

I can see how people would believe that. In the promo, he made a few allusions to wrestling again. Obviously nothing is for sure right now, but this stuff came from The Rock's mouth himself:

"The Rock is home."
"The Rock will never leave."
"Put frankly: The Rock has returned to the people."
"The Rock will be laying the smackdown all over the WWE."

And he set himself up for a feud with Cena. So he may be around long enough to have a match against Cena, at least.

Is the Rock here to stay or just hosting WM27? It sucked that he left the WWE so soon but to me what else did he have to prove? Why not try Hollywood out? I think he's a good actor as well and I like that he still has respect & love for the WWE (and wrestling in general) because that's what made him famous. Hopefully he'll stick around for awhile. I loved how he ripped John Cena!! :lol: Can't stand Cena at all.

What the hell's going on with 2/21/11? You got people all over youtube posting their theories that it's Sting. This one guy went as far as to compare it to a a promo WCW did with Sting when he was facing Hogan for the belt, Starcade 97 I believe? Anyways, it's pretty similiar to the current promo the WWE is running with the dark figure in the trench coat for 2/21/11 so I can see why people would think it's Sting but I find it hard to believe the WWE would bring Sting in now. The guy's 51 years old! Granted he put on some good matches in TNA but it's time to hang up the boots & baseball bat. Don't get me wrong, I love Sting. He's one of my all time favorite wrestlers and if he still can put on a good performance in the ring then more power to him. I just personally feel he's had his run and I wouldn't want to see him over do it like Ric Flair has. Plus I thought Sting was dead set against ever signing with Vince & the WWE? Then again who would have ever thought Bret Hart would step foot in a WWE ring again?
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

well WWE did a good job on hiding Rock as the guest host for Wrestlemania. so i wouldn't rule out Sting yet...though it is rumored that it IS the Undertaker since his spotted to be on Raw 2-21-11. one thing i learned, in WWE never say never. :wink:

He's 51. So what? Since when has age EVER mattered in the WWE. If you're over with the crowd, Vince WILL find a way to use you and that's just all there is to it. Kali can barely fucking move at all and he still keeps showing up on my tv. And oh yeah, apparentely Jerry Lawler is now the number one contender. I rest my case

Rock was awesome. My FAVORITE part was...



FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!
