No, that was a pretty poor comeback. Would have did him better if he just stayed in the back.

lulz, except he had nobody to pass to in the big moment. Excellent
Ok that was a pretty direct slight at him, I admit.

SHUT UP IT'S THE SAME MAN IN THAT RING
Totally, he was legit pissed about that. He did not expect it and it was evident.

I don't know why I watched that. Nothing Cena and Rocky can do can make me rise above the apathy I feel about this feud.
Good thing we have Jericho/Punk and Sheamus/Bryan to save this year's Mania.

That whole segment was garbage. Cena and Rock's bullshit paled in comparison to Jericho and Punk.
I'm shocked that Cena of all people was able to rattle the freaking Rock.

Cena is a bitch exposing the business with his notes on wrist stuff. That shit does noone any favors.

Yeah. I really think the entire point of this promo was to make Rock look weak as shit, boring and awful.
Rock is playing the character, the role of shameless self promoter, the guy who doesn't give a shit about the WWE, the guy who only cares about Twitter. But he doesn't even know it and Cena burying him with great lines like notes on the wrist which actually bothers him. It's hilarious.

Here we go all the Cena marks come out. Where were you for the last 10 years?
Now Cena is the savior. Get out if here with that shit.

USA would give them an extra hour if they wanted to. They're the ones pushing for more 3-hour RAWs, since new content usually draws in more ratings than White Collar re-runs.

Well, my previous statement of an hour-long promo bewteen Jericho and Punk would've been much more entertaining.

I don't mean to sound like I'm speaking on that "Dwayne, The Rock, Dwayne, The Rock" stuff because I'm not.
Regardless of what you call him, this isn't the "character" of The Rock. His "best work" is always going to be nose in the air, eye brow, head turn Rock. I think that Cena's natural smugness probably has a lot to do with it, as well as The Rock just not having it anymore, but he's not pulled that character out in quite some time and I guess he never will again.
I felt like this was going to be a let down as soon as he came out and didn't do his "Finally..." and started going into his love of WWE.
The Rocks Billy Gun "Dear Lord" promo >>> Everything heard tonight. As well as numerous others in the past. Shame.
Hope that at leas the match itself will be good.
The characters are depressingly similar now.
Pretty shitty, I really just wanted to hear Rock shoot on the backstage gripes and whining and stuff. He touched on it a little bit, but spent most of his time name calling.

Punk/Jericho is going to be awesome from top to bottom, tonight got it back on track. Sheamus/Bryan I think will be fairly standard as a feud, but the match should be awesome.
Taker/HHH will probably be a good match, but the feud sucks.
Rock/Cena...yeah.
Two out of four main events.

Watch the first 30 minutes for sure. Was some really great stuff.
There are only a few people that can go toe to toe with Rock on promos including unscripted stuff. Cena is one of those men. Loved it. I loved seeing Rock rocked.

This. Cena was better, Rock was better, whatever. It was crap any way you look at it. Jericho and Punk did it much better to open the show
Sure thing, kiddo.

Watch the first 35 minutes. The rest of it was a huge waste of everyone's time.
Rock just needs to take this shit a little seriously. He's treated this entire feud like it's just about his damn twitter account.
"Continue trending" was such a great line. Cena comes into the ring, I'm gonna kick your ass, then leaves in a cool way. That's what Rock should have done. Make it short and sweet. Rock's best promos back in the day never ran long in monologues.

I wanted the Rock to come out and not do just his catch phrases and that's what he did. He tried to be somewhat serious....
But man he was really, really angry at the end.
I like it. Makes me feel it's not just a work. Wrestling is at it's best when you don't know if what you are really watching is fake.

Aight thanks.
If they would just, like, get angry at each other, it might be at least slightly compelling. They teased it last week, teased it this week, but it surely should be a given, not a possibility?
There's just no heat here. Even when the Rock is doing his "____ bitch" thing he's prefacing it with "but I respect Cena" type stuff. Cena's promo last week, and the second half of his promo this week, felt like he was taking the feud seriously. The Rock did not, going on about trending and catchphrases with the crowd.
They both were doing this last time, near Survivor Series, and it sucked balls. They just nattered about twitter and stupid jokes. That's alright when the match is months away but right now they should be gettting serious.

It came off so weak because it's obvious to everyone that Rock doesn't need or rely on notes. The way he replies to the crowd and has this easy connection with all of the fans that no one in the WWE can come close to or Cena could even dream of. When would you ever see someone stop a crowd chanting two things and orchestrate the chants himself? Anything he does to cut a promo, Cena should be taking note and writing it down.
