Dark Match Winner
The Rock being announced as the guest host for Wrestlemania was the last time - and only time in the last several years- I can remember being surprised/excited about something in the WWE. It seems they've gone the way of announcing major returns before they happen in hopes it will increase viewers, which comes at the expense of surprising the audience. I point to the return of Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels as a few right off the top of my head. It's been mentioned over and over that one of the major reasons wrestling became so popular in the late 90's was due to unpredictability in the shows, we all tuned in to see what would happen next, who would turn on who next, and who would return next. Does announcing the return of the Rock for the first time since Survivor Series really increase the viewers, or would we be more apt to tune in on our owns to see when it happens? I know the internet has played a role in not being able to keep secrets, but surely if you can keep something like the Rock returning to guest host Wrestlemania quiet, you could do it for others as well.
