FINALLY!
The Rock - HAS COME BACK - to the WWE!

YESSSS!



I smell it!

It sounds like the whole enchilada, like he's actually going to do matches. So, does that still make Cena the face of the company? He might win by default simply cause he's the younger guy. Will be interesting to see how over the Rock continues to be as time goes on compared to Cena. 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

Rock was always at his best as a heel.. While I'd love to see Cena turn, I can't imagine Vince going that route with him - being that Cena IS the face of WWE..

Interesting note - Cena was fined for saying 'ass' on TV a week or so ago, breaking the flow of the whole PG era the company is going for.. The Rock comes on last night, gets the first 'ass' bleeped out, and the 11 or 12 that followed go un-censored.. Makes me wonder if Vince and/or Helmsley maybe want to test the waters for a more PG-13 era of WWE...

That's a given... they are gonna push the edge on the PG stuff as their audience grows up. Hopefully they never return to the bottom of the barrel with Mae Young birthing a hand or HHH raping Katie Vicks corpse, but all those little members of C-Nation are getting older, and you gotta give them something so they think it's "cool". I remember 20 years ago I lost interest in wrestling the moment my little brother thought it was cool, and it took nearly 10 years to get me back into it.

if anybody missed it last night here's a full recap of Rock's return:

[Rurouni_Fencer]

I don't know what was better - The Rock saying Cena looks like a box of Fruity Pebbles, or calling Michael Cole a drunken hobbit..

the drunken hobbit part made me laugh more.

That was the most exciting 20 minutes of wrestling in the last 5 years. I'm loving this! Undertaker is returning too, and I'd be willing to be Triple H makes it back before Wrestlemania. And Nash returned just in time to be there. It sounds like it's gonna be the first PPV worth ordering since I ordered Wrestlemania X8 so long ago.

..i still think Kurt Angle vs Mr. Perfect should had happened instead of Kurt Angel vs. Kane. I know the original plan was to bring Sting against Angle, but Sting didn't want to work with the WWE schedule back then..

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