Two Superstars Jealous Of Rock's Return?

[The Idiot]

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/245381-the-rock-discusses-his-return-says-2-wwe-stars-are-jealous


So who do you think they are? Obviously he's feuding with R-Truth and Miz, but I can't see these two getting upset that he's back. That's on camera...In real life these two are probably grateful they were able to work with him.

So behind the scenes, who do you think these 2 superstars are (just out of curiosity)? Why anyone would be mad that the Rock came back is beyond me. Anytime you can get people to tune into Raw it benefits the entire company, including the talent.

 

[LoudClearVoice]

I'm guessing Randy Orton is one, not sure who the other is. It's not Miz and Truth. Rock invited them to New Orleans to train with him for Survivor Series. I highly doubt he'd invite guys that are jealous of him, to come train with him.

I'm saying Orton just because of what we've heard about his ego and how he is not well-liked in the locker room. Granted, he may have matured since then.

The main culprit is CM Punk. All The indicators point to him. And he has the most to lose by the rock headlining the same PPV he was to win the championship at. I am still pondering on the other, But I wont be a bit shocked when it's revealed Punk is the main one.

 

[XXJJ]

Isn't this from the WWE magazine? so its probably kayfabe.

If not he is probably talking about CM Punk. Punk was just ripping Rock in his interview over the weekend.

Punk has made some pretty disparaging comments about Dwayne in his little shoots during the summer. I believe it was something along the lines of him being an ass kisser, and along those lines.

That said, if it is Punk, I'm afraid to say the only thing separating him from Melina is talent, and a lack of tits. He can argue that Rock's stuff is outdated, but the truth is, The Rock makes for good business. All indications are that The Rock and Cena are going to do tremendous business at Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania's buyrate was pretty damn good this year, and that was with a pretty lackluster card, all things considered. If we're being honest here, CM Punk and Randall Orton didn't draw a million buys, nor did Trips and Taker, Cena-Miz, what have you. Most of the buyrate can be attributed to Rock's return to the WWE.

For someone who claims to be so knowledgeable about the business, I can't see how Punk can be this foolish. But I wouldn't be shocked if this is one of the men fighting Rocky's return kicking and screaming

 

[Heavens Vibe]

I doubt its only 2 people in all honesty, there are probably alot more in the locker room who just dont have the balls or the ranking to be open about something like this.

Honestly looking back at The Rocks 2011 return, it's been great, but honestly he hasnt done anything worthwhile! Hes just fed the audience his catchphrases made jokes about people who have worked their asses off in his place after he leaves (He left to do his own thing and i respect that, but does he respect what other people have done in his place in a different era? I doubt it)

Im not at all suprised that hes being hated on and the 2 main people are either CM Punk and Orton or CM Punk and Cena. But most likely half the roster if not all is feeling a bit green towards "the great one"

 

[TWJC: The Beginning]

This is pro wrestling, everyone is jealous of anyone in a higher position. It happens. JoMo seems jealous of everyone becaus he doesn't undestand that he's not over. Punk seems jealous of anyone who is pushed ahead of him, same with Orton.

That's pro wrestling, this isn't news.

You're exactly right. Let's not forget that the Rock earned his position. Some of these Lil Jimmies, other wrestlers and fans in general are acting like the Rock is some nobody that just suddenly came from nowhere and was stuck into the main event picture.

99% of the WWE roster right now will never even come close to what the Rock accomplished in what 8 or 9 years, and that's what they all need to understand.

 

[WJDwjdWJDwjd]

Obviously, he's referring to Miz and Truth. Who are the two guys him and Cena just had a match with at Survivor Series who have been complaining about being an after thought? I don't see why this needs to be a thread.

 

[THTRobtaylor]

Orton is clearly in de-push mode so it's very likely him... I don't see Punk would have much to complain about, in that he got his demands and when Rocky isn't there he is the top guy... ADR on the other hand would have a lot to lose from Rocky being around, he is the one who isn't producing on the ME stage and is a likely casualty.

I wouldn't be shocked if the 2nd is actually Mark Henry, after all its taken him a long time to get to this point and he has a lot to lose with Rock around. When he isn't Henry is the de facto African American "face" of the company in his role. When Rock is around, he is.

An outside shot could be Taker, after all wasn't he supposed to be back at Vengence? Perhaps he doesn't want his return to be overshadowed?

 

[TheAwesomeF'nTruth]

I was never a huge fan of the Rock but if thats going to help pull wwe out of the shitter then so be it cause lets be honest Punk as lost A LOT of steam

How in the world is bringing The Rock back going to help the WWE. If anything he's making the WWE look worst, he comes back after 7 years and beats up the stars of the new era that compete and work their ass off every week. What is that accomplishing ? The minute he leaves we're stuck with the same roster we had before he came, so why not work with our current roster of superstars instead of showing the fans that the new stars will never be able to compare with the stars of the AE. This whole situation reminds me of TNA and how they rather bring in superstars of the past that have no future with the company instead of building up their younger talent.

 

[LoudClearVoice]

I would be totally shocked if it were Undertaker. He's been around the business so long that he understands why Rock was brought back.

What would he have to be jealous of? He's arguably reached a greater pinnacle than even the Rock.

I suspect it's a couple of the younger guys.

 

[rge2010]

If that is indeed a little dig at two superstars for real then the smart money is on Orton and Punk.

Orton has always been jealous. He made some remarks about Rock when he returned and now he is slowly declining down the ladder he is probably even more bitter about Rock coming back and taking 'his spot'.

The other is probably Punk. He is a whiner and was also very bitter about his position in WWE. Taken him what, like 6 years to get where he is today? Probably think The Rock held him back all that time.

Orton and Punk have never, and will never, I repeat, have never and will never reach The Rocks level. they should both get over themselves and accept The Rock is good for business, the business that employs them.

It could be a work but thats the way it is anyway. Punk crying in a promo this weekend and Orton on that Radio show a few months ago backs all this up regardless.

 

[ryan86]

Well, when you are the reason for WM surpassing a million buys, and with WM 28 expected to do closer to 1.5 million buys.

and when your single match alone sells out over 90% of a 70,000 seat stadium for WM 28 without any other matches set...

and when you sell out the Boston TD Garden for raw, and sell out SurviverSeries at MSG in 90 minutes...

and you bring in a half million viewers by your mere presence alone on raw...

I guess that leaves the entire locker-room looking and feeling very very verey inadequet.

Especialy Punk who doesnt live in reality about his own drawing power which is neil.

Isn't that just everyday workplace shit really that's all the backstage stuff is. Hey at least Cena, Punk and Orton put there names on it and plus this did come from WWE Magazine a real credible dirt sheet.

 

[Daniel]

It's kayfabe, for fuck's sake.

He's clearly talking about The Miz and R-Truth. I'm not talking about Mike Mizanin and Ron Killings, I'm talking about the characters they portray. It' WWE Magazine! Do you think the Rock is going to be talk about real backstage issues in fucking WWE Magazine?

Fucking hell, the internet really is full of morons.

 

[VCUpkunk11]

Well... there could be lots of people who could be jealous/insecure of The Rock's return.

1. Miz & R-Truth- This would be the obvious choice...cause well Miz & R-Truth were mad that everyone (Punk, Cena, Del Rio, HHH, Nash...and so on) were getting more getting more title matches, more TV time, more main event type matches than they were.

2. Cena & Punk could be another pair....You have prob.... the 2 biggest stars in the WWE (excluding The Rock) right now. Those 2 are the top Merchandise sellers and believe that they are what the WWE wants to see...and for the most part Cena & Punk are right....obviously The Rock changed that all...because now all people wanna do is see The Rock.

3. Mark Henry and Del Rio....could be a pair because...both had their respective brands titles...(well they did until Del Rio lost to Punk last night). And they've been over shadowed by the whole situation involving Rock & Cena vs Truth & Miz...and Rock vs Cena @ WM.

Obviously there could be others...some have mentioned Orton....I'd kinda be shocked at that. I think hes more pissed that he's not getting a WWE title shot and has to settle for dealing w/ Cody Rhodes

One said the undertaker.... but I highly doubt that for 2 reasons. 1. he's not in the locker room most of the times n doesnt show up til royal rumble/just before WM. 2. like someone else said Taker has been around the business for a long time...has seen superstars come & go...some leave and never come back...some leave for a few years n come back.

Other choices could be Barrett & Rhodes...who think they're hott stuff...but dont get the recognition they think they deserve.

Dolph Ziggler could be one because well he thinks no one can beat him....and well most of the time he is right.....Because Vickie distracts the opponent.

So basically anyone could be the 2 Rock is talking about...but my guess is that its either Miz/Truth or Punk/Cena

Outside shot (if this is legit), the remaining Cliq members, Trips & Nash. If I remember correctly, Hunter isn't a fan of the former Rocky Maivia and Big Kev is notoriously possessive of having a top spot on the roster. Both guys could be seething that their storyline gets treated like an afterthought every time Mr Johnson reappears.

And? Just because this has come from a kayfabe background does not mean that their isn't a real life undercurrent. It's not as if nobody has ever fired veiled insults at him before, is it?

 

[chris21]

I doubt anyone is jealous really. If any of the current roster are jealous then its a bit pathetic. They have every week of the year to make themselves on top, its not the Rock's fault he comes in every now and then and outshines them. Too much is about the Rock taking other superstars limelight. Why doesn't anyone look at the other superstars failing to take there chances? Some obviously don't get the push they deserve but a lot of them just don't rise to the occasion.

It's definitely not Triple H. Although he has a huge ego, he understands the business, hell it's basically his business. He knows damn well how much money the Rock has made for WWE in the past and now (since his return).

Plus, he'd have nothing to be jealous of. He reached the top and is considered an all time great, like the Rock.

 

[Daniel]

But it isn't a veiled insult. It's very straight and very direct - there are two guys and everyone knows who they are. That's what The Rock said. There's no undercurrent whatsoever. Who else could he be talking about? It has to be The Miz and R-Truth. Anyone who says otherwise isn't thinking.

From a business standpoint, of course he will understand and support Rock's involvement but are you telling me that it wouldn't stick in his throat that the guy who walked out on the WWe is now getting very handsomely rewarded to make an occasional (normally prerecorded) appearance and the rest of the show is basically overshadowed. Just look at this year's WM, Undi going 19-0 against Hunter played second fiddle to Rock being the host.

His business brain might understand, his hip pocket might love it but I'd be willing to bet that his heart absolutely deplores Rock's dominance when he makes each sporadic appearance.

Why not just say it then? If it's so obvious, why would you leave any ambiguity - you'd just come right out and say 'Awesome Truth are jealous'. By the simple reasoning that he doesn't mention Miz and Truth, the possibility has to be there that the logical answer could conceivably be incorrect.

Do you need to be spoon feed information in order to believe it, its quite clear it refers to Awesome Truth. Its a WWE magazine where in the WWE Awesome Truth have been complaining about the spotlight being on The Rock and Cena for months, the magazine plays into what is shown on tv, it isn't a shoot magazine aimed at getting inside information.

People reading into things way too much as per usual making 2+2 equalling 3
