Rock still battles resentment by the current roster

[Crayo]

Any pissant piece of shit candy ass motherfucker in the locker room bashing Rock should be buried up to his neck in venomous snakes and have boulders hurled at his head for being such an insufferable blueberry.

I completely agree.

If they were in a similiar situation, I bet half wouldn't come back

Exactly, I'm sure Rock is getting paid handsomely, but nowhere near what he'd get making a movie. Fuck the haters.

Yeah, haters are going to hate. The Rock probably doesn't give a damn, and he shouldn't.

I can understand the resentment. Sure, the Rock gives WWE mainstream exposure, but no one that tunes in for the Rock is going to stick around for the rest of the roster while every shred of focus and storytelling time is being lavished on Rock, Punk, and Cena.

Personally, I think the Rock should've stayed away. The build up to RR was awesome, but the match and followup were so anti-climatic that it almost would've been better if it never happened. Now the title is on someone who's garanteed to lose it at WM to the most hated and overpushed guy on the roster (for the sake of short-term buys), and Punk has no match with Taker and could quite possibly wind up buried. So what exactly has the Rock contributed, aside from superficial excitement and making the real roster look useless?

This is the difference between the Rock and Jericho. When Jericho comes back, he leaves the product in a better shape by putting over talent and giving us great matches. When the Rock comes back, all he does is steal valuable spotlight and get puffed out in the ring. And now even his promos aren't that good. Sorry if I seem like a hater, but really. The Rock isn't the savior some of you marks beleive.

The Rock is a short-term solution to long-term problem, like putting a band-aid on a broken arm. The WWE need to shift focus from 'dream matches' onto real matches. But this is nothing that hasn't been said before, so whatever. Point is, I think a portion of the lockeroom is entitled to a little resentment. Some of the fans are, too.

A lot of what you say is true (with your added anti-Rock sentiment, of course) but do you not think the issue lies at the feet of WWE, not The Rock, with most of what you are complaining about?

Sounds to me like you and the talentless dickheads in the back need to refocus your hate and anger.

I must say I am kind of on the fence for this one.
On one hand I am enjoying seeing him back and let's face it, it's good for business.
On the other, I wish somebody like Bryan was the one challenging for the WWE title and yeah, his jokes do get a little old occasionally but a lot of them are quite amusing.

However, the fact he is facing resentment from other talents when he could be somebody to give them a lot of advice and guidance is a little unnecessary!

I do think the managing role suggested above could have been great but we have what we have and we should enjoy it.

It was a shame he wasn't on Raw with the title though, even if it had been via satellite or pre-recorded.

Rock is a great guy. These pussy bitches in the locker room need to stop h8ing.

If Rock wasn't around the ratings would be sinking, like they were before he arrived. If people don't care about the roster now, with Rock there. Imagine how much less people would give a fuck if he never came back in the first place.

You're probably right. I should stop posting in threads like this, because I hate being a hater.

I can see how the Rock being back from a business standpoint is great, what I can't see is a "Legend" what he's doing to put over any new talent. By that I mean not beating Punk for the WWE Championship or Beating John Cena at Wrestlemania. If he's really surprised by how much people resent him then maybe he should use his Brain instead of just lifting weights. Also those who are saying they will get a bigger pay Cheque because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if they got paid the same as usual, I don't see how the Rock putting the ratings up will affect your average Jinder/Heath wrestlers pay, when they haven't done anything to essentially help this. From a business standpoint Vince would likely just keep the extra money to himself or give it to Dwayne.

Rock isn't the booker. If you are mad that Rock went over Cena and Punk take it up with Vince and Triple H.

Everyone on a PPV gets a bonus for appearing on the PPV. The bonus is a certain percentage of the house money and PPV buys. Obviously the higher up on the card you are the higher the percentage is. However, everyone makes more because more people are tuning in to see the Rock.
