The WWE Thread
See I don't know about you, but Wrestling will never go out of style. It just lacked some good characters and this guy was born for it. Last edited by Dr. Dwayne; 15th February 2011 at 20:29. Reason: proper acronym |

It's not the same for me, but having this guy back is just amazing. He was one of the main reasons I watched it back in the day. I still do tune in from time to time and I normally go to their shows here, they do put on a good show.
It just hasn't been as good, but The Rock being at Wrestlemania will certainly make it a whole lot better and I completely loved it when he tore into John Cena. The Undertaker is still the man though. |

Could be the key to kicking the PG rating's ass... Named Cena.
Two great things could happen from this 1) Cena could turn heel finally and stop being so annoying 2) No more PG, back to the attitude era of anything goes Unfortunately it may be neither. But even though it was widely speculated to be him, it was a great promo |

Probably the loudest pop from the crowd in a long time. The thing about The Rock that makes him the perfect Wrestlemania host is that he doesn't have to wrestle a single match or even touch another wrestler to send the crowd home happy. All he needs is a mic and he's instantly the most entertaining superstar in the company.

Cena legitimately had a go at Rock a few years back from what I can remember. |

I hope Cena gets his ass whooped by The Rock. Its pretty clear who the crowd want. Cena is no match for The Rock.

I actually doubt there's any legitimate animosity between the two. It's just the obvious storyline direction to go in and the easiest way to create some buzz, especially considering the timing. Within the last couple months they've fired one of the leaders pushing the PG angle, brought back Booker T, Kevin Nash, and Stone Cold (even if only as personalities instead of wrestlers), hired Awesome Kong, and heavily pushed towards hiring Sting. On top of that HHH and Undertaker are coming back, and all this is happening during the buildup to the most important pay per view of the year. It's actually a very smart business move by the WWE to start playing up this Attitude Era nostalgia vs PG era angle and really it's the only way to put over the younger talent long-term, since the old ones can't hang around forever. |

Most of what they say, they come up with themselves and plenty of it is reactionary to the crowd and other factors that arent set in stone like other people messing up. Also its annoying, but it works for the kiddies which is what the WWE has been working on while Linda McMahon ran for U.S senator. The WWE worked hard to achieve a PG rating and Cena was the biggest factor in that because of his popularity with the youngsters. McMahon failed, perhaps now the WWE will be moving away from PG. Another thing is that months ago Dwayne Johnson said he didnt want to come back to a PG WWE, he would only come back if things were how they were when he was there and he was free to curse and say whatever he wants. Well he's back and the sensor was working overtime in that video. No, the crowd will always want the good guy to win and the bad guy to lose. If that were the case the bad guys would never get anywhere, or achieve anything and the good guys defeating them wouldnt mean anything. So obviously thats not how it works either. The ones who win and progress are the ones who perform well in the ring or get a big reaction from the crowd - good or bad. If the crowd would really hate to see someone win, theres as much chance of it happening as if they really want to see someone win. In a way it is the WWE deciding who is best yeah, but not in a proper fight. Instead its whoever is best at selling tickets to pay per views and getting tv ratings. |

Even the Monteal Screwjob was a fake. Brett was in on it all the time. Although I do seem to recall Kurt Angle getting taken out by some young lad who had some MMA experience some years ago. |
