Last year he was injured during his match with Cena as well. Two matches with Cena, two injuries. When he wrestled Punk he never got injured and his matches were more expansive so what does that tell us?
Can't believe that some people thought he had run out on WWE. He has done so much for the company coming back during the time he is a massive movie star and people question his committment! Please he doesn't have to wrestle but he has given WWE five matches over the past two years to help them out.What I will say is that it would have been nice for them to maybe cut a promo with him after WM to play on RAW, have him in the doctors office, say that he is injured and that he will be back once he is healed.
Thats your take, but I don't see how he did it for WWE, he did it because they gave him a good pay day and because he couldn't resist the spotlight. For me Rock lost his passion for wrestling years ago.
Rock was a very good brawler, but also did enough good wrestling moves to make it work, you stick to your strengths. Cena's brawling is awful and a big part of why fans don't take his matches serious, imo he is best when booked in gimmick bouts such the last man standing match VS. Umaga in 2007 or TLC VS. Edge in 06.
He doesn't need the money. He earns tens of millions a year doing movies, $36 million last year according to Forbes, way more than he can get from WWE so money isn't a factor. In fact by wrestling he is jeapordising his movie career and potentially costing himself tens of millions of dollars. An injury, like the one he suffered last night, could cost him the spot in a big movie, like Hercules. With regards to the spotlight many, many more people will see him in Fast Five than in WWE. If he wanted the spotlight he would have stayed in Hollywood and wouldn't have put his movie career at risk. He isn't doing it for money since he can earn a hell of a lot more elsewhere, he isn't doing it for the spotlight as the spotlight is bigger elsewhere he is doing it because he loves wrestling and is giving back at a time when WWE desperately need him.
I know he earns more for movies, but that doesn't change the fact that the WWE matches are well paid perks on top of what he makes in Hollywood. I meant spotlight in terms of the big match feel of wrestings, and over shadowery the likes of Cena.
I don't buy he is risking his Hollywood career, most actors only make two or three films a year, and he is only a part-time wrestler so there is no reason why he can't do both.
I am not knocking the guy, he has done very well for himself and his WWE comeback has been a sucess, but I just think it is neive to think he is doing it because of passion.

Saw my Dr who had to push my intestines back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic.
Seems legit, putting over the #1 guy and embracing him for the fans = not doing right.There is said to be a strong disconnect between The Rock and WWE right now, although no side will admit it publicly.
Some people within WWE feel that The Rock didn't do right by the company with his most recent a run. With that said, a source adds that there will always be people in WWE saying those kinds of things about The Rock.
Regarding the disconnect between Rock and WWE officials, the feeling is that everything will be smoothed out over time.
