Rock bailing on the entire Cena storyline is honestly some inexcusable shyt

Tribal chief ain't a draw now?

Nah HHH doesnt get a pass at all. He is ass as a booker and always has been (Dusty and Regal were responsible for prime NXT) but im also not going to sit and act like the whole premise of Cena's heel turn didnt completely surround around Rock because it did. To your point, HHH was never going to salvage that on his own and Rock knew that.

That's fair

I mean you’re asking the wrong questions

Why even wrestle again at all if you’re getting big roles again

rock loves wrestling but at the same time call a spade a spade

Wrestling is his side chick

What 99 percent of wrestlers don’t have the advantage of doing… Rock is one of a very short list who has the wrestling world in the palm of his hands. Every wrestling promotion would bend backwards for him

But he wants Hollywood… so he’s back on business

People keep glossing over the fact that the only reason Rock came back was because he crapped out trying to pull a power move on DC and his farm bet film flopped

If Black Adam made a billion dollars y'all wouldn't have heard "IF YA SMEEEELLLLLL" for at least 5 more years

Ultimately Rock took a big hit in Hollywood, fell back to WWE while still trying to regroup in Hollywood. Now Black Adam is in the past, Smashing Machine flopped sure, but Moana 2 is one of the only hit movies this year. And now he has other projects lined up

Like you said WWE is the side chick

I also think that another element of his return was him taking an opportunity to demonstrate his value to TKO

Right


Dudes in here saying it makes no sense considering he has all the time in the world to film so he can wrestle before then.

it makes all the sense in the world when you no longer want to wrestle lol

Why would a 50 year old try to maintain his body for wrestling, be in the biggest storyline of the year, and then still set aside time for his acting projects

Why lol

shyt cena looking like he could wrestle for another year or two with how great he’s been looking…. Giving it up all now so he can focus on acting lol

Let's say worst case scenario Rock was being difficult which I don't believe, I feel like it's more reasonable that two creative sides just couldn't work out a proper story.

That still wouldn't take Hunter off the hook because it was a month before Cena really started to do anything. He appeared overseas. You mean to tell me Hunter and creative couldn't come up with something better than what we got?
