The Rock: "I Didn't Come Back To WWE To Be Champion Again..."

[John Cena's Sweatbands]

I really dont know how much stuff is actually coming from The Rocks own thoughts and how much WWE is feeding him to say.

Take the "I'm never going away line", I dont think Rocky is so stupid to say something like that when he just wants to be an actor and has no desire to become a full time wrestler again. I have a feeling this line was given to him so that Cena could jump on it straight away, as did happen.


This fued doesnt need that title, same as Rock vs Hogan didnt need the title, same as Punk vs Nash doesnt now. Some things are just bigger than the title.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

Personally i see it as a good sign. The Rock doesn't want another title reign to boost his ego he's more interested in putting on the best wrestlemania in years. He's putting the WWE ahead of himself and giving back to the company who made him what he is today. I dont see how anyone can bitch about the rock for what he said in that interview.

I like the idea of giving Del Rio an extended title reign. If done right he could be a huge cocky heel champion akin to JBl and Triple H in the past. A champion that people badly want to see lose the title and would pop huge for the face that challenges him. The only problem i can see is that with Cena in a feud with the rock and Punk rumored to be in a Wrestlemania feud with either Stone Cold or Chris Jericho is there a face on Raw that is over enough to be in the title picture at mania??

 

[Headman]

Over the weekend, The Rock posted some messages on Twitter hyping his match with Cena and the reason, kayfabe, why he returned to the WWE in the first place:

"A few years ago when Cena - inexplicably - started talking trash publicly, I knew then I could turn this into a...massive main event. One that could elevate the WWE to unprecedented heights. The timing had to be right though. Wrestlemania 27: for me and the fans - the time was right. The build to Wrestlemania 28 will be like nothing the world...has ever seen before. The match itself will be historic."

That's all well and good, standard stuff for talking about his match at WM. However, what I found most interesting was this one:

"I didn't come back to the WWE to become champion again. I came back for these reasons: entertain the fans like no one else can. Elevate the WWE to new heights never seen before...Challenge and mentor some of the younger talent. Give the millions what they want which is to kick John Cena's f'n ass."

In a nutshell, The Rock said that he doesn't want to be WWE Champion. Now this could be an extremely good sign, depending upon where you sit on this. Some don't want to see Cena vs. The Rock for the WWE Championship and some do. Personally, I'm in the camp of the former. The match doesn't need the title. If it were for the title, that means Cena will almost certainly get it back long enough to add it to the build for the match, which means the WWE Champioinship itself will be brought to a period of stagnation. Also, The Rock isn't going to be staying after WrestleMania so having him wrestle Cena for the title gives away the ending to the match right then and there. The presence of the WWE Championship would, most likely, water down the match because, as I said, we all known The Rock isn't going to stick around and wrestle. With The Rock just putting out there that he doesn't want to be WWE Champion, the WWE shouldn't include the title for their match.

This also leaves the window open for Alberto Del Rio to, possibly, have a very long and significant run with the title and have a marquee match of his own at WrestleMania XXVIII.

I'd rather see the top title be in the main event. I'm not a believer of "A title match can help this guy or this match get over". If the guy or match isn't over the WWE championship won't help. It doesn't elevate the wrestler it devalues the champioship to put it in the hands of someone who is not the main event.

If Rock vs Cena is going to be "The biggest match of all time?" shouldn't it be for the title? And yes, maybe the WWE is back peddling from this being a title mtch, but The Rock shouldn't be saying publicly that he isn't interested in becoming champion. The WWE should be able to point at their title and say "Look, even hollywood stars want to be WWE champion!".

I'm also curious as to which young stars the Rock thinks he's helping out?

 

[DERO1979]

Can't believe all The Rock haters. He's arguably the greatest of all time. Also, I agree with alot of people that say the match doesn't NEED to be for the WWE Title but I also feel that it would add to the match not take away. First off, you have no idea what the WWE has planned for The Rock after 'Mania. He may go back to making movies - he may stay for a few months and work a limited schedule - you don't know. Quit acting like you do. McMahon said recently that The Rock has agreed to do several pay per view appearances and one of them happens to be NEXT YEAR's SummerSlam. So who knows what they have in mind?
He said he was coming back and never leaving again. Has he left? No. He came back, worked a good schedule for 6 weeks or so - resurfaced again on his birthday - did a show then. Has done some Twitter stuff with Cena to keep the war of words interesting and soon he'll be back at Survivor Series, Rumble, Mania buildup - Mania...SummerSlam. What the Hell do you want from the guy?
Also, just because he said he didn't come back to win the WWE Title doesn't mean he's not going to win it or that he doesn't want to win it. He said that's NOT WHY he came back. It'd be like an actor saying, I didn't come back to acting to win an Oscar, I came back because I love to make movies. It doesn't mean he's not going to win an Oscar or that he doesn't want to win one. That's just NOT THE REASON he came back.
Also, I saw a poster say The Rock disrespected the WWE Title by saying that. Are you kidding me? When Jordan came back to the Wizards he said he came back to "scratch the itch" and to "teach young kids about the game of basketball." Similar to what The Rock is saying. Did Jordan disrespect David Stern and the NBA because he didn't come back to win the NBA Title he had already won 6 times?
Be thankful The Rock is back. Quit hatin'.

Jack-Hammer, it is definitely too early to predict the state of the WWE main event and title scene as of March/April 2012 but as things stand now I find myself disagreeing with a couple of the things that you state here:

1) While I agree that the match does not need the title I feel like the title needs the match. Any other feud for the title is going to be a complete letdown to Cena/Rock. It almost seems like a disgrace to the belt if it is not part of this event.

2) If the title is on the line this does not make the winner any more predictable. We just had a title match where the champion walked away with the belt. The WWE has the ability build another story off the vacancy of the title.

3) If the Rock is willing to wrestle at WM it probably means he may be willing to wrestle another Raw or PPV (this is only speculation of course but he has done a heck of a lot more than I expected him to do since he was named the guest host at WM). It would be a great opportunity for him to put over a guy that needs it more than Cena.

4) I would be curious to see a guy (face or heel) start a feud with another guy for the sole purpose to slap the WWE in the face for focusing too much on Rock/Cena and forgetting about the rest of the locker room. It may go over fans heads but if done well it could add something to the card. Punk is probably the one guy that could pull off this type of feud.

Anyway, these are my thoughts. I would like to hear what you think but I am probably about 3 pages and 10 hours too late.

 

[cmedge]

The Rock doesn't need the WWE Title and neither does Cena we have so many young talent that could benefit from being in the WWE title picture at Wrestlemania 28. We could still have an amazing match that doesn't need the WWE Title placed into it. Rock will not be back full time so people will predict that Cena would win easily. The Rock is one of the all time greats and I for one am excited for this match up now if only we could see Punk vs Austin at Mania too. I would love to see Cena/Punk vs. Rock/Austin tag team match on Raw or something who knows. But neither does Cena or Rock need to be in a title match both stars have enough star power already to not have the title needed or involved in their main event.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

It's pretty sad to see how Rock has been misinterpreted by some fans here. The Rock is not really downplaying the importance of the title here, he is merely saying that he did not come back to win titles but that he came back for the fans. He is saying that the fans are more important than the title which is true in every sense of the word.

I would also like to see Cena vs Rock not be a title match because the match does not need the title and nor does the title need the match either. This match is billed as a clash of two generations and a clash of two extremely successful guys with two radically different school of thoughts. There is enough reason for this match to take place and you do not need to really add another reason, ie the title, to it.

Also it would be a bit disrespectful to the current roster if a guy who is not even a regular superstar, no matter how big, came in all of a sudden after 7 years and laid a claim to the title.

 

[1TheRockHHH]

Fuck all you Rock haterz.Its not my fault you misunderstood his words when he said he was never going away.Lets face it if the rock would have never left wwe or if he would of actually showed up at every show what would you guys be saying?Oh thats right "Rock is stealing the spotlight blah blah blah" "Rock is burying the superstars blah blah blah" "Rock you should go back to hollywood blah blah blah." Thats exactly what all you haterz would of been saying.So do me a favor and STFU.Rock is one of the greatest superstars ever.He helped win the monday night wars and pushed the enveloped of this business.

As far as Rock saying he didnt come back to win the wwe title that is good news.That way we wont see cena getting the title on the road to wm and The fact that match doesnt need a championship to make it seem important.

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

breaking kayfabe to an extent is sadly just the nature of the business nowadays.
however, to come out and say these things is an insult and a slap in the face to not only the wrestlers busting their asses, but the heritage of the title itself.
say what you want about his accomplishments and how he is 'above' fighting for a title, but as far as talking to the fans, (which is what twitter is all about)
the title should be the goal of every wrestler who steps through the ropes to compete, regardless of how many crappy movies one has made.

Not it's not. How is it a slap in the face? He's not a full time guy and wants to change something ideologically. That's not a slap in the face. He's saying that he has a different mission. He's not a mark for the belt and most people with a brain know that Cena vs Rock should NOT be for the belt (the belt is a marketing tool, this match needs none).

How many title feuds have been "about more than the belt"? How many times have guys been more concerned with hurting the other guy than winning? It happens all the damn time. This is not a slap in the face to anything, it's just normal pro wrestling.

Whoever said "the belt needs the match, the match doesn't need the belt" is really thinking short-sided. So you make another booked match less valuable, don't add any value to the icon vs icon match. The belt can still look prestigious in another match. No one is going to say "well I guess it's not that important" because Rock vs Cena is a once in a generation type of thing. The belt will still be around and still be the main focus after Mania. Rock vs Cena will be over.

you are absolutely right and i couldnt agree more.
the point i am trying to make is only that he doesnt need to advertise the fact to the wwe universe (especially the young fans) that the belt is not important to him. that is all i was saying. the championships have been cheapened enough and dont need to be devalued more than they already are.
i could care less if the match is for the title or not, he just shouldnt be on twitter stating to young impressionable fans that dont fully understand his status that he does not care about titles. sorry man just my opinion i am a tad bit old school thats all.
i honestly agree with you that the match does not NEED the belt.
if it does not, they just need to not bring it up, him OR cena.

How do you book a WWE title match effectively for WM when it has to compete with UT-20, Rock-Cena? I pity the guys that have to compete before or after these matches. The crowds on Raw and at WM are going to be so anxious that they will be disinterested/dead for any title feud or match. In that way, at the biggest event of the year it is a slap in the face to the title or the guy being elevated by winning it.

I think that people that don't see the title adding value to Rock-Cena or even UT-20 are being short sided. Rock-Cena is years in the making and we have heard each guys issues with one another. If I have to watch Raw and hear the same shit about "he left", "he was mean on the internet", "he wears jorts", "he stole my WM moment", catch phrase, catch phrase I am going to get bored. Actually, I am already bored and we are still 7 months away. Either these guys are going to have to get violent with each other (hard thing to do when both guys are faces and one is rarely around) or they are going to have to freshen up this feud. The title adds something, Cena's pursuit of it after saying he will have it to defend at WM adds something, Rock staring at the title with a hard-on during a contract signing adds something, Cena losing it to Rock adds something, what Rock does with it when he wins it adds something. Rock winning it adds more press and interest. Rock is not David Arquette.

Edge's retirement and Punk winning at MITB were two of the most interesting stories WWE has had this year. The possibility of Rock winning or Rock actually winning the title makes me wonder what will happen next. Cena winning the title or random guy that will eventually job to Cena for the title makes me think Raw is going to be the same old shit.

I think everyone agrees that this feud does not need the title. When Cena first announced that he would have the title at WM I shook my head and had the same attitude that you and others have. Since then I thought more about it and have come to these conclusions. I encourage others to join me on the unpopular side of the lunch room cafeteria, we are closer to the vending machines.

All of this of course depends on Rock's schedule. But I think he has continued to surprise us with his number of appearances.

Rep me if you agree or disagree with me or I would love to get an actual response if you think I am full of shit. Thanks.

You are contradicting yourself here. In one sentence you are saying that you would pity the guy who is in a title match and on the same card a Rock/ Cena and UT-20 and on the other hand you are saying that the title would add more layers to the Rock/ Cena feud which, in your opinion has gone stale already. Only one of those two can be true.

Also Rock winning the title would not be all that interesting either. Not that that is the most probable option but let us assume that that is the case for a second. You do not know if Rock is going to wrestle beyond WrestleMania 28 and there looks to be no reason for it either. A match against the current face of the company who he does not like in his hometown to settle a feud that has been raging on for 5 years now, the ambience is perfect for a retirement match. So if Rock wins the title and retires, you are going to have Rock vacate the title and a tournament in all probability to decide the winner. Cena is going to be a part of that tournament, in all probability. So how is that not the same old shit again?

Also Rock staring at the title NOW like he is having a hard-on means nothing after what he has said. If anything it will make him look like a hypocrite and Rock does not really have a spotless track record there.

I don't think I am contradicting myself. WWE has already committed to Rock-Cena. I feel like it is falling flat. Regardless of my feelings it is going to be a main event if not the final bout on the card. The Miami crowd is going to be completely focused on Rock-Cena and UT-20. They will not give a title match that is not one of these matches the attention the title deserves.

My comments about Rock's participation after WM is all wishful thinking but if he carried the belt for a month or two it would be an opportunity to bring in more of an audience and build up a huge juggernaut heel similar to the early days of UT or Lesnar without that heel having to go over Cena in the process. Again, just wishful thinking.

I don't think my idea for a contract signing would take place until Feb or Mar but it would be an opportunity to give Rock and Cena something to talk about beyond the same old shit that we have listened to for months. Rock can change his mind about his desire for the title and he can talk about how much more it would mean to take the title off of Cena.

 

[King Patrick Star]

At WrestleMania XXVIII, The Rock vs. John Cena does not, in anyway, need the WWE Title to be on the line. However, if it is on the line, I would love to see Cena enter the ring with his Spinner Title and the Rock to enter the ring with this…

I’d like to hear the Rock say, my belt looks a lot better than that Spinning piece of monkey crap!!

 

[1TheGreatOne1]

The never going away line was obviously fed to him by the WWE.


It was to make Rock look like a liar and for Cena to jump in and call Rock out on it.
Because all Cena's shots at Rock have been around his "never leaving" line


The 'E' are trying their hardest to make Rocky the heel and that a total fucking FAIL. No one is going to boo him at Mania. They hate the fact Cena as the super Babyface gets hated on over Rock.
Its time for Vince to realize Cena his corporate champ will be getting booed by 70 thousand people next year.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Regardless of my feelings it is going to be a main event if not the final bout on the card. The Miami crowd is going to be completely focused on Rock-Cena and UT-20. They will not give a title match that is not one of these matches the attention the title deserves.

The fact is that most of the people in the crowd believe that this feud is NOT falling flat. They are going to be interested in the match regardless of whether the world title is involved in it or not. That is why the WWE title match, if there is one, is going to suffer in comparison both inside the stadium and in the build up to the match as well. That reasoning is perfect.

But the reasoning that you need to add the title to the match in order to make it more interesting totally contradicts the first statement. If the match without the title is not going to be interesting, then why is the WWE title match both in build up and inside the stadium suffer in comparison to Rock/ Cena. Only one of them is true and we both know that personal feelings aside only the first statement is true.

My comments about Rock's participation after WM is all wishful thinking but if he carried the belt for a month or two it would be an opportunity to bring in more of an audience and build up a huge juggernaut heel similar to the early days of UT or Lesnar without that heel having to go over Cena in the process. Again, just wishful thinking.

Once again I have no problem with that line of thinking but if you were to make a poll asking whether Rock will wrestle a match after Mania 28, the majority of the people would say no. Also even in Rock wins the belt and continues after Mania, Cena is bound to ask for a rematch and eventually win the title back from either Rock or a guy who defeats Rock. Cena is here to stay, after all, Rock isn't.

I don't think my idea for a contract signing would take place until Feb or Mar but it would be an opportunity to give Rock and Cena something to talk about beyond the same old shit that we have listened to for months. Rock can change his mind about his desire for the title and he can talk about how much more it would mean to take the title off of Cena.

As I have said already, the main reason why people are not exactly buying this idea is because they feel that the feud is good as it is. Rock and Cena have plenty of things to talk about without involving the title.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

@Myriad - I now understand why you have your opinion regarding my opinion. Let me be clear, as I stated in 1) of my original post on page 4 I don't think Cena-Rock needs the title. The nostalgia and names involved are going to make it a memorable event and draw. I just think it adds value to the feud and gives the title the respect that it deserves.

I do hope that without the title they can still build on this feud. I just don't know how they do this at this point. What else do they have to talk about?

 

[earz316boyy]

as many have said this match does'nt need a championship.. the fact the rock v cena is happening is enough.. i just hpe ccena doesnt win.. an the rock lays the smackdown... i understand why ppl might not like the rock these days but at the end of the day.. its the rock

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

It pleases me to no end that The Rock doesn't want to be WWE Champion. From a business point of view, it makes less sense for Cena/Rock to be for the strap than it would without. The WWE Championship being involved is pointless as the Rock with the belt would mean nothing and Cena beating Rock with the belt does nothing for him. Someone else having the championship on the other hand builds big credibility for them and whoever they are facing. This is WWE's opportunity to shoot someone straight into the stratosphere with the championship if they have them compete at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.

 

[Sin Jackal]

The Rock is a traitor to wrestling, he is all about the money (full stop.) Personally I'm not one bit interested in Cena vs Rock at WM28, I wouldn't give The Rock the time of day in a wrestling ring. I don't care how much he has achieved in the past and the fact he is a third generation superstar, he is not committed to wrestling nor the WWE and the fact he just walks back, makes false promises and gets to headline WM28 is a disgrace if I'm being brutally honest.

The Rock says it wasn't his intention to "mis-lead" the fans, but what else could he possibly mean by his own words of " I'm here to stay, I'm not going anywhere." Simply put, he came back,made a false promise that he clearly had no intention of keeping and had the complete and utter arrogance and disrespect to lie to the faces of the WWE universe.

Please GO AWAY Rocky!

Only problem is that there is too many daft WWE fans out there that still give this guy their support which is totally un-deserved.

You're entitled to your opinion of course. . .but so I am to mine. And my opinion is that yours totally blows.

Of course he wants to make money. If you were offered a job doing something fun like filming movies for millions of dollars, you would not be a "traitor" to the place you work just because you do the smart thing and go make money. Cena makes 2 million a year + extra for events. He makes almost ten times as much as R Truth, Morrison, etc. Cena demanded that much money. He continues to wrestle in the WWE because he gets paid exorbitant amounts of money to do it. These guys want to make money, not just wrestle for the fun of it. The overall goal is to make the most money they possibly can from their job. When another job comes up where you can make a hell of a lot more, you do it. Period. Rock isn't some magical bad guy now because he did that. Wrestlers, after all, are just a form of actor.

And FYI, the only reason Hulk Hogan and Cena and HHH and every other wrestler who tried to make movies didn't completely leave the WWE is because their movies weren't as successful as The Rock's have been. Hogan's movies all sucked. Cena's have all been lame besides like one. HHH doesn't even qualify as an actor imo. Orton even did a movie, and he was as stiff in that as he is on the mic in WWE. Any of those dudes would leave if they were getting calls to do stuff like The Rundown, Scorpion King, Doom, Gridiron Gang, get Smart, Fast Five all that other stuff. He's been in like 20 movies in 8 years. How the hell is he supposed to keep wrestling when he's always doing 2-3 movies at once year-round?

 

[cubuff37]

I agree with a lot of you... the WWE title would lessen the match. It would guarantee Cena walks in with it, but frankly, I don't really care about this match. Neither Cena nor The Rock are true wrestlers, they're entertainers. I will say the build-up is being done PERFECTLY as far as the match being booked a year in advance goes. In fact, I hope the WWE does it again. But if you were to put any other active top guys in the feud instead of Cena and Rock, the match would be elevated by a THOUSAND times. But with these guys, the match is probably going to be even worse than the WWE title match at WM27. Which was horrible even by The Miz's standards.

All in all, I'm more excited to see Taker in his last WM match (hopefully), Orton's match, JoMo's match, the WHC match, and whatever other feuds the WWE has planned. If the WWE used the same build-up with different guys, it might be a different story.

 

[macho_boy]

i dont think it needs to be for the title but after anouncing that it is i think it shits on the match if it isnt!! also this is going to be the biggest wwe title match of all time if it is, will bring back the wwe title meaning something again.. maybe its a bluff and the rock will become champ for a final time
