Many people backstage at RAW were talking about WWE Champion The Rock not being there. Several of The Rock's co-workers are upset at the fact that he's not going to be in attendance for 2 of the last big 4 shows going into WrestleMania 29. There was already some resentment over him being in the WrestleMania main event again but him not being there each week isn't helping things.

Also Below is the logo for WWE's June 16th pay-per-view from Chicago, Payback:

The Payback logo looks generic as hell. Something they can add to a RAW logo...

I think it's actually working out great, it's allowing other fueds to develop fully, and when the rock is there it's highlighted so it gets good hype. I can see why people wouldn't like it though.

You right, but WWE having a champio that won't appear is a problem. Takes away all the prestige of The Rock's championship run.

Yup, I totally understand that aspect of it.

Why won't the wrestlers will be sad? They work 24/7 and 365 days of the year. The Rock returns at Raw 1000 and says he would get the title. So, he gets the title handed over to him. And which Champion doesn't wrestle on Raw and SD?

It's ridiculous that jealousy can turn into resentment. Do what Kofi did, and approach the legend for fucking advice.

But isn't jealousy perfectly natural? The Rock's a talented and hard worker, but he's had his time. Now all he's doing is encroaching on the talent and hard work of the rest of the roster. So far he's hijacked 3 Wrestlemania mainevents, and possibly a forth next year. If Hulk Hogan did the same thing in the AE, Rock and Stone Cold never would've got over the way they did. Blame WWE, but it's the Rock who signed the contract. He doesn't need the money, so why is he doing it? Vanity? Publicity? The fans? Who knows, but in the long run, he's doing more harm than good to an already weak product - which justifies a little resentment, IMO.

And advice? What's he supposed to tell them? "The secret to success is being born with good genes and a marketable family name - do that, and you'll go far." His advice obviously did a lot for Kofi. The Rock's success is unique to the Rock and can't be replicated by anyone else. If a superstar wants advice he should go a Paul Heyman type person - someone with a broader knowledge of the business.

These jabronis need to to know their role, wipe their tears and stfu. Pretty much everyone in the locker room is disposable (save a handful, if that), can't say the same about The Rock. The Rock can do whatever the fuck he wants because he is THE FUCKING ROCK, not a hard concept to understand. The dude is money. Literally (kinda hehe).
Don't like it? Cry more, sacrifice your decent paycheck and go to Japan, Mexico or ROH.
