Now before you pathetic Rock fanboys go crazy at me, hear me out.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
The Rock is said to be the leading candidate for the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame in California. It's more up to Rock, if he wants it, and how his schedule goes.
This clearly shows that The Rock is retiring next year.
No wrestler in history has ever wrestled after he got inducted into the Hall Of Fame, maybe one match max. (ie. Ric Flair, Roddy Piper...)
So let me get this straight, after leaving for 11 years, he comes back, works 2 crappy WM matches with an even crappier wrestler, leaves for 2 years then comes back to retire?
The first one was kind of ok I guess. The second one sucked badly, extremely predictable garbage.
"Passing the torch" to a guy who had the torch for about a decade lol.
What is wrong with wrestling ONE match a year for like the next 5 WrestleManias?
The Rock is 41, still young to retire.
IMO the perfect age for retirement is like 46 or something like that, kind of like Shawn Michaels.
But Rock is only wrestling ONE MATCH PER YEAR!!
He can still go after his mid-40s.
Is it really THAT Impossible for him to not show up at WrestleMania?
There are plenty options for him at WrestleMania if he can't show up that much:
Scenario 1:
They can have the tag team champs / young talents attack Roman Reigns every week on RAW.
Then Triple H or the RAW GM (they still do that?) can announce those two wrestlers will face roman reigns and a Mystery Opponent , an opponent of his choosing for the tag titles.
That opponent (the rock) appears on RAW before WM or at WM.
For the next upcoming weeks, Rock doesn't show up on raws, roman reigns ends up defending the tag titles alone, he loses the tag titles.
Rock shows up the next week after roman loses the tag titles and roman reigns beat him up badly keeping him off tv for the next road to wrestlemania where they will do ROCK VS REIGNS.
That would be a reigns heel turn or something. He cuts a promo the next week saying Rock became a big hot shot or something and doesn't care about his samoan family anymore.
That would be an epic storyline because:
-It would keep Rock off the main event scene.
-The two tag champs / young talents wrestling The Rock would benefit their career.
-Rock doesn't have to show up a lot nor wrestle a lot.
Scenario 2:
CM Punk can become the WWE champ by next year (WM31). Bryan wins the rumble. Rock invokes his rematch clause.
The Rock vs CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan would be a GREAT IDEA.
Rock doesn't have to be there every week, bryan and punk can get that covered.
Rock is a HUGE draw.
WM25 and WM26 didn't get over 1 million buyrates. The Rock comes back for the next 3 WMs, they all get over 1 million buyrates.
Punk and Bryan can't main event because they're not WM draws but The Rock is.
Both Punk and Bryan would main event WrestleMania and The Rock being there would draw big WM buyrate.
During the match, Bryan and Punk can put the big jabroni through the announce table and wrestle for like 20 minutes in the ring.
The big jabroni rests most of the match and comes back the last 5 minutes.
In conclusion:
If Rock retires and goes into the HOF next year that would be the biggest joke ever.
As a guy who attended every wrestlemania the last couple of years, I would be glad to go to the HOF next year and boo the big jabroni.
ROCKY SUCKS!
