I have to poop.
Last night on Smackdown, something I have been pushing for was teased: A Wrestlemania match between Triple H and The Rock. It was actually footage from after RAW went off the air but it's clearly an idea that has legs if they felt the need to plant the seeds officially by airing it on Smackdown's anniversary episode. Entertaining promo...check it out.
On this forum alone I have annoyingly injected my thoughts on these two needing to feud on multiple occasions. So much to the point that I'm surprised no one has hunted me down to ensure that I'd never ever mention this dream again.
Here's a sample of a dream match idea I had earlier this year regarding this subject:

SO yeah, I'm clearly in favor for this idea (and have FAR too much downtime at work...hope my boss isn't reading this). The sentiment is that both Triple H and The Rock have been enemies since their midcard days. They've crossed each other for the IC title back then, they've feuded faction vs. faction, they've feuded mano y mano more often than any other main eventers in the Attitude Era (99-2001/2002), and they've feuded team vs. team while trying to push Evolution(2004). Their history against each other is that of the most popular ongoing feud in the Era that they were in. Stone Cold was The Rock's greatest rival whereas Triple H/The Rock were each others' greatest enemy.
I'd like to see more top wrestlers get to end on top (like Edge) rather than leave putting over some new talent that might not pan out in the long run. The reason for that is because they can always job to a new talent and then end their career on a victory against someone they actually have unfinished history with. It's not about winning to me, it's more about a fitting end to a storied career. Like Ric Flair's "retirement" match vs Shawn Michaels or Michaels' final match with Undertaker. You can still lose and have a meaningful retirement match.
Do you think that the scale of Triple H vs The Rock at Wrestlemania warrants it being a career ending match between the two? If so, why? If not, why not?

I think the only thing worthy in the WWE of The Rock's time away from filming, would be a career-ending match against Triple H at Wrestlemania. It should be teased for months leading up to it and I'd want the match to be the end for both men. It should be an epic match with a ton of "WTF!!" spots and it should end in a draw without either man able to continue. The storyline should play up their history in the company and their past feuds in the Attitude Era. Their could even be a Survivor Series match between Degeneration X (Triple H w/ NAO) VS Nation of Domination (The Rock w/ Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown) The feud should also touch on how The Rock gained all of the fame in his career and how Triple H gained the business/industry. Stone Cold could work his way into their feud becoming the bi-partial special guest referee of their WM match. Seeing as how he has had a storied kayfabe past with both men.
So no, I don't want to see Rock VS Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, Cena, Sting, Undertaker, or anyone else other than Triple H. I think both men need and deserve a cool ending to their wrestling careers. If Edge got to leave on top, both of them certainly deserve to.
Also, I think it's so stupid to have that match in their back pocket and not capitalize on it.
