WWE "The Rock" Tribute

[Hung-Lo]

They really need him back, as well as Jericho and Austin in some form. Jericho will be back later this year from what I heard. Anyway I was looking at some of his old matches and came across this interview with "The Hurricane". I couldn't stop laughing when he was saying the different ways how The Hurricane could hurt him. There are a few more good ones (interviews) if you scroll down....Rock & The NWO is good, Rock & HHH.... Anyway here it is:

The Rocks a legend.

I hope rumours of Jerichos return are true he was awesome.
I know Austin will never come back full time, but im sure he will continue to do things like his role at the last wrestlemania.

 

[-KING-]

WWE needs Trish back...and more DIVAS..more nudity!!! Yaaayyyy!!!!

 

[D-rock]

What it needs are newcomers that are actually good and storylines that are good. It's tried the technique of bringing back former wrestlers for a quick fix forever now and when they do they are usually just that much older and not what they once were.

 

[Vanilla Bear]

I dont know much about Wrestling. I dont like it if everything is just show.
But I "love" The Rock. He is awesome.

 

[don_equis]

Well the WWE did took a big hit in a negative way when the Rock decided to make movies only. In my opinion a very wise move since so many wrestlers do get hurt for real when moves go bad or normal wear and tear from today's high risk wrestling moves. Kurt Angle was doing a good job there for a lil while and so did the Undertaker, but Kurt was pissed when he was sent to that ECW (Extremely Crappy Wrestling) and Taker has been taking hits for so many years he needs the ocassional rest. Not only did Vince messed up wrestling by buying out all these other competitions but he keeps fucking up with the few talent that he got right now. For example Batista in the begining gained his reputation as the "animal" and lately he's not intimidating anymore, he needs to unleash him on everyone else. The Great Khali started good but after John Cena Beated him 3 times he's a joke, Lashley Needs to work on his mikes skills and look more menacing, Randy Orton is no Rock so he sucks trying that legend killer, Van Dame is not being used to his full potential, Edge is boring and does not deserve to be the main heel that Triple H was and Kennedy I can't believe that looser wants to emulate the Rock on his mics skills....whatever happened to Kane? for crying out loud he retired Big Van Vader out of the WWE! Wrestling has gone past the Rock what needs to happen is that some 90's wrestlers get restablish as the main guys to beat and the new talent earn their way to the top. I mean where are the Rick Rude, Curt Henning, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, The Andersons, New Age Outlawsm, the controversial ECW, etc...

If the Rock comes back to the WWE it will never be even close to when he was with the company full time. But, the rock will never come back, so why even wish for this?

 

[Castlemaine]

More high-risk, fast paced Rey Mysterio types, less muscle-bound artard Bastistas.

 

[Yankeefan21325]

I still long for the days of the late 90's in wrestling. Oh how great it was.

 

[iamray]

The Great Khali started good but after John Cena Beated him 3 times he's a joke,
Khali was always a joke, he shouldnt be in a wrestling ring ever..
Randy Orton is no Rock so he sucks trying that legend killer
I think Randy has a great gimmick and if hes focused enough he will definitely be a big star.
Van Dame is not being used to his full potential,
Heard hes leaving so they want him off tv so he doesnt appear on wwe one night then another show like tna the next.
Edge is boring and does not deserve to be the main heel that Triple H was
Edge boring? to each his own i guess but id say Edge is the top heel with great mic skills and wrestling skills
and Kennedy I can't believe that looser wants to emulate the Rock on his mics skills....
I dont think hes tryin to, hes more like a young Stone Cold and even Austin himself thinks Kennedy will be a huge star. I certainly hope so, im a huge Kennedy fan
whatever happened to Kane? for crying out loud he retired Big Van Vader out of the WWE!
Yea they dont use Kane the way they should, he used to come down the ring and destroy all in his way, now he just jobs to the new "monsters" meh..
Wrestling has gone past the Rock what needs to happen is that some 90's wrestlers get restablish as the main guys to beat and the new talent earn their way to the top.

I think wwe just needs more talent that can be as entertaining as The Rock and Stone Cold, Mr Kennedy imo is on his way to do just that.
But i really think wwe should stop shoving Cena down everyones throats. He sucks, and his championship reign is really boring.

 

[ChefChiTown]

If Jericho actually comes back, I can GUARANTEE that it will be the biggest "return" in wrestling history. If you thought the crowd was loud during his debut on RAW, just wait. I just hope his first words are "Welcome to...RAW...IIIIS...JERICHOOOOOOOO."

Let's be honest though...the chances of Y2J returning to the WWE aren't very good. There's a better chance of seeing Brock Lesnar return to feud with Owen Hart's dead body.

Pardon me for taking one page out of your book:

Khali was always a joke, he shouldnt be in a wrestling ring ever..
Impressive as it may be (in size that is), I agree with you he ain't no Big Show.

I think Randy has a great gimmick and if hes focused enough he will definitely be a big star.
He got a lot more potential to become something bigger than his dad, He just needs to stop messing around with silly storylines of beating old wrestlers and giving werstlers head injuries. Perharps take on his old partner Edge

Heard hes leaving so they want him off tv so he doesnt appear on wwe one night then another show like tna the next.
Now thats sad, because I feel like he never realized his full potential, true he did have some great feuds but that was just it, never as dominating as he was in the old ECW. Hopefully he'll do great in TNA (I bet you thats where he is going)


Edge boring? to each his own i guess but id say Edge is the top heel with great mic skills and wrestling skills
The greatest heel of all time was Ric Flair. Edge is a joke, anoying with all his complaints, skipping out on matches, has a weak ass "spear" (no one gives a spear like Goldberg), he is too skinny, looks like he's on meth, that rated R shit doesn't work and he took the title from the Undertaker?! Who's dick is he sucking in WWE to get so much attention? He'll never be a Flair, Blanchard, Funks, NWO Hulk Hogan, Roddy Pipper, Triple H or even Randy Orton, or perharps Jeriicho which happens to have some very impressive mic skills
..
I dont think hes tryin to, hes more like a young Stone Cold and even Austin himself thinks Kennedy will be a huge star. I certainly hope so, im a huge Kennedy fan
If for some reason the Rock and Stone Cold and one of the Hardy Boys would combine Kennedy would be their Hybrid. He still don't convince me, I think he needs to resolve his issue with Edge after he got beated up for his money in the bank case.


Yea they dont use Kane the way they should, he used to come down the ring and destroy all in his way, now he just jobs to the new "monsters" meh..
True, so very true and what the fuck was up with that storyline about Kane's mask? did you get that?


Now sticking on the subject the WWE is hurting they don't know what direction to go. ECW I don't see it lasting any longer it sucks, not because of the wrestlers is because of VKM. Why have all this "different brands" when the wrestlers keep crossing shows? Umaga like Rikishi is going to dissapear even though Rikishi did earn his wrestling time. The Rock will not be enough, it would need Lesnar, Triple H, some talent from TNA, etc.

 

[ChefChiTown]

Here's my two cents on Kane...

Kane (current Kane) sucks but he is an extremely EASY fix. Make him feud with someone for a bit and have the feud end with some sort of No Disqualification match. Have the match/feud end with Kane getting "seriously burned", possibly from being thrown in a fire of some sorts. Hype it up like his career is over or that he's dead, it doesn't matter. In his off-time, Kane works out a little more and gets some muscle weight back on his body. Kane disappears for a few months and returns (preferably unannounced) at the Royal Rumble dressed in his old attire, mask and all. Give him NO mic time, make him a little more intense when he's in the ring and let him dominate like he used to.

There, now is that so hard to do WWE writers?

Really? Why? Is Jericho pissed at WWE?

What wrestling needs to be great is performers that can talk, wrestle and put over storylines.

When I got back into wrestling 7 years or so ago, WWF had a whole troupe who could do that - The Rock, Austin, Angle, Triple H, Jericho

The first House Show I ever went to had The Rock and Austin in a Texas Tornado Tag Team match against Angle and Jericho - it was incredibly entertaining.

They're really lacking that - and if all it took to be entertaining was to have guys that could move fast, then TNA would be a lot more entertaining than it is.

 

[pancha]

STORYLINES!!!

and not shitty, overdone, stupid ones! I know it has to be difficult to keep coming up with new ones, but that is what makes it entertaining and draws the fans in!

 

[CaDDaFy]

The Rock is cheesey and he sucks balls, he carnt wrestle and he carnt act same with that cock suckin, bad ass wannabe Cena

Wrestle mania 23 was a big frickin let down

I haven't seen WM 23. The Rock's greatest strength was his ability to tune into the crowd and play to them. The most amazing example was his big WM match with Hogan. Hogan came in as a heel, but the crowd was loving him and boo-ing The Rock. So in the middle of the match, The Rock did a heel turn against Hogan so he'd be on the same side as the crowd. He rode that wave and when the crowd turned his way, he slid back into babyface mode.

The man is a flat-out brilliant performer.

I also saw the RAW live the week after Austin had quit - The Rock came out there and absolutely tore the place down cutting a promo in the ring, had a tiny bit of physicality with Lesnar and Heyman - everybody in the place left with a huge smile on their face.

 

[Torre82]

What, nobody likes the McMahon hair gimmick? :rimshot of sarcasm:

 

[ChefChiTown]

Really? Why? Is Jericho pissed at WWE?

I have no idea what Jericho's feelings on the WWE are. All I know is that I officially have the worst luck in the entire world and I never ever ever get what I want...and considering I'm a die hard Jerichoholic that really really really wants Jericho to come back, God won't allow it.

What wrestling needs to be great is performers that can talk, wrestle and put over storylines.

I totally agree with that. The problem is, a lot of fans don't realize the wrestlers that fill that void when they see them. Case in point...Edge. I know a TON of people who don't like Edge but the truth is...he's a damn near perfect wrestler. He's pretty good on the mic, he can be funny, he can be intense, he has a good "wrestling" look, he can feud with just about anybody, he can transfer from heel to face very easily and most importantly...he knows how to perform IN THE RING. Edge is one of the VERY FEW wrestlers that have passed through the WWE in the past few years that can wrestle in any kind of match he gets put in. One on one, tag team, cage match, ladder match, Hell in the Cell, Elimination Chamber...he can do it all and he can do it all very well.

 

[don_equis]

Yeah good storylines, not to stupid. They need to unleash Batista, let him be the animal that he's supposed to be. Continue letting Marc Henry beating people up, perharps give him a belt. Big Show coming back to Raw or Smackdown (not ECW). Let Lashley turn into a heel, expand DX not just Michaels and HHH, work on the tag teams and push their young talent. Bring Lesnar back have him beat the crap out of Edge or Cena.
