Over the weekend Dwayne posted a random Rocky track on his Instagram.
Tonight he meets up with Russian wrestler Rusev.
Hmmm...I'm getting Rocky IV vibes.
If anything, I hope Dwayne grows a full training beard (none of that fake Hurclues beard nonsense lol) during this story arc, yo.

That was a great segment, even if it doesn't lead to anything. The Rock has had two great appearances this year (Mania and this). Truly one of their greats.
It definitely shows the stark difference between the Attitude era and now. Back then they stressed characters, storylines during Raw's two hours and had a great mid to high card roster.
Besides part-time Brock, Cena, there isn't anyone else due to injuries (Brian and Reigns) or failure to properly develop new stars (Cesaro, Ziggler and Wyatt) or give two craps for veterans (Sheamus, Orton, Kingston, etc).

Don't watch wrassling anymore but always love me some Rock on the mic. This man was born to have a microphone in front of his face.

Nice. The one from 2003 i think, where he returns to help Eugene is still his best return.
I think he's making up for lost money from Hercules

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Because eventually he has to start delivering his own promos.

Great showman. I can watch The Rock again and again.
Why do people (Americans) get so excited whenever the place they live is mentioned?

It won't last, but I do suppose that it's good that he's back again.

the charisma difference between Rock and the rest of the roster is ridiculous.
The gap between him and the roster wasn't nearly this big back in the Attitude era, Rikishi had the crowd hyped back then.

The Rikishi reveal was pretty amazing back then. His black leather waistcoat and chaps even more so.
And fat ass foley was one of the most over guys, showing you don't have to 8ft tall and on steroids to get over. Vince seemed to ignore that lesson...
But WWE fanatics on sites like WrestleZone told me that todays fans are just naturally quite, do not pop, and overall are watching wrestling like its tennis, in complete silence.
Thus the blame cannot be put on wrestlers, writers or bookers on why the people are so silent, wrestling is just as good today as it was back then its only nostalgia that you remember it differently and the thin--- oh shit Rock came back and its as if the 1998-2001 never went away!! Suddenly these silent fans reacted to everything and seemed genuinely excited, how about that huh? What a surprise, i am shocked.
That is what i most enjoy about these old guys coming back, it serves as a nice reference point to what once was and what it is today. And nobody can argue that, not even the biggest modern WWE fanboy can justify the difference other than what is plain for all to see.
