I don't know if we have any wrestling fans on this form. Anyone who does watch wwe will have heard that "The Rock" has returned.
He was a childhood favorite for me, I fell out of love with the sport shortly after he left but now that he is back I may just become a fan again.

Exactly the same Eric, essentially my interest waned at about the same time Rocky went off to make films and John Cena was forced on fans as the new golden superstar. And now Rock's back and I may just have to watch Monday Night RAW again!

I am a huge fan of The Rock, but because of his movies - new one called Faster is pretty good. And I really don't understand wrestling, tried watching it a few times but gave up quickly

He's a born entertainer, apparently he's back for the long term. Can't wait to see him in action again, he want's to take on Cena as he was talking trash about him. I actually can't believe that my exciting for WWE has been aroused again, I though it was well and truly dead!

Rumours of Attitude Era vs PG era for Mania circling.
I'd be down with that.
PS: The Rock is a promo GOD!

May have to tune into to Wrestlemania just to see John Cena get his arse handed to him. Fucking prick. Must admit I should have probably outgrown wrestling by the time The Rock was huge, but he just kept me watching... Now I'm actually looking forward to it all again.

I was a big big wwe/f fan, up until maybe round about 2005/6, when the watered down dx came into play then i just give up on it, and judging by this PG shindig, havnt really missed much. But i have to say with The Rock back, ill be purchasing Mania i think

Cena hate is so old. The dude is awesome.
Cena vs Rock would be an amazing match for Mania.

Cena's not only a shit wrestler (seriously though, he can't hit a basic fist drop - see below), but was apparently a cunt to boot. Stories of him telling a young fan a couple of years ago to fuck off when he asked for an autograph in Cena's hotel; bad-mouthing The Rock essentially as a sell-out two years ago i.e. not part of an storyline in The Sun, and generally being a dick. Cena is a terrible Pro wrestler examples: 2:19 mins.

Huh? Cena is generally considered one of the nicest guys in the business and does more charity work than anybody.
And he's a great wrestler. Knows how to tell a story and makes everyone he steps in the ring with look like they belong there. His execution is sloppy occasionally but I don't think a few youtube clips prove someone can't wrestle.
His matches with Umaga, Michaels, HHH, Orton, Edge, Batista and others are pretty great.

Cena's got a rep for being a legit nice guy. Never heard a bad word said against him. However, his in-ring work is piss-poor and if he wasn't outselling Randy Orton in t-shirt sales 6-to-1 he would've been future endeavoured a while back. The fact the matches with those guys were great was because all those guys are good to amazing workers. Shawn Michaels, for example could have a match with a mop and it'd be a 3 star match, Batista is/was a natural heel, meaning you wanted to see him get his ass kicked, which helped carry Cena through their feud last Summer.

Carry jobs don't exist. Cena put just as much into the Michaels matches as Michaels himself did, and is generally considered a better wrestler than Batista. Wrestling is all about getting the fans into the matches, which Cena does pretty damn well. Not everybody has to be a technician. Cena's great at what he does and has produced a lot of very memorable matches, while also making his opponents look very good week in week out.

Yeah, coz no selling your opponents finisher by popping straight back up and hitting the 5 moves of doom makes his opponents look great. Cena's basically a shitter Hulk Hogan. At least Hulk had natural charisma and had people eating out of the palm of his hand, Cena is montone, his matches are formualic and quite frankly his persona bores the living crap outta me.
