Jeeeeeeezus!
If anyone watching that didn't find it nausiating, they seriously need to check themsleves and wipe Rocky's jism the fuck off of their chin!
I see above comments that Rocky fans should just sit back and enjoy the tribute, but what the hell part of all that crap was meant to appeal to a fan of Rock, the wrestler? (and I'm talking about the endless peripheral content here, not few actual Rocky appearances)...
Nothing more than a bunch of PAID sycophants verbally giving Rocky a good 'seeing to'....
They could've AT LEAST got one or two of the new guys to say something like "It was watching Rock back in the day that made me become a wrestler". Nothing of note from his peers nor his contemporaries apart from Vince at the end.
Didn't recognise the majority of the B-to-Z-list 'celebs' or the endless references to the various Miami sports teams(*).
(*This was WORLD wrestling entertainment, the last time I checked. :sigh: )
This all just brought back bad flashbacks of all the guest host bullshit,
Cena/Miz: Shockingly bad stuff from creative!!!
I fucking hate it when they break this kind of logical 'norm', just to further protect arguably the most over-protected guy in the modern history of the business (at least excusably. with Taker, it's the GIMMICK that's being protected as it actually needs to be in order for it to work at all)!
As others above predict, I'm now expecting a 10 month Cena title reign .... My only hope is that as we get near Mania Rocky costs Cena the title to add a bit of heat to the situation cos by the time next March comes around a large proportion of peeps won't even remember why Rocky has beef with Cena in the first place... TBH, they should have found a way to work in some actual quotes of what Cena actually said to the press, so even the little kids KNOW what was said by whom.
Anyway, Cena beats Rock and they hug in the ring afterwards, thus creating a WM 'moment'. :yaaawn:
In my eyes, Cena challenging the streak has SO much more appeal than all this.
My WM28....
Austin vs CM Punk
Cena vs Taker
Rock vs.... HB-fuckin'-K
Orton v Jericho (WHC)
+ further title matches and under card.
Anyone else note that in the tag match of purely NEW draftees, both faces (Kofi & rey) had already beaten both heels (Swagger & Drew) on SD in the last year in relatively significant matches... 2011 Draft = complete fail and on the same note, PLEASE tell me we're not gonna get a re-run of Rey vs Del Rio, ffs?
...And where was this "epic" R-Truth promo peeps were chatting about?
...And, for that matter, the 'mega-heat' he's supposedly getting since turning heel?
