Rock to work another angle after WM?

[Crayo]

- As noted before, The Rock is scheduled for the April 2nd RAW Supershow - the day after WrestleMania 28. This isn't confirmed but it's believed that Rock will start a build for SummerSlam that night, schedule permitting. The idea all along has been for The Rock to do more than one big pay-per-view in 2012

Lords of Pain

This is a clue in my opinion that something big will happen at Mania and not the traditional passing of the torch thing. Maybe he'll continue his feud with Cena until Summerslam?

I don't see Rock doing another match at SummerSlam.
Mania is bigger than SummerSlam and they've been hyping Mania since last year.
LoP is often wrong BTW.

I'm pretty sure Vince said in a report that Rock will be around post Mania. Whether he works a match or not is still up to debate but it does seem likely he'll be there in some form.

Rock said he's never leaving again.

I take that as having an Austin type role where he pops in every couple of months

In terms of matches, play it by ear... when the right guy comes, you do a match


Let's not put Rock in retirement just b/c others have 'retired.'

Rock to face Lesnar at Summerslam. Just saying.

LoP is probably the most credible source out there. Also, just because WM s getting mega-hyped, doesn't mean he won't work after this. Summerslam is the 2nd biggest PPV in Vince's eyes.

No way.

Rumble is bigger than SummerSlam Crayo :/
But IMO I can't see him continuing after Mania. May be wrong, but my opinion.

 

[Crayo]

No it's not lol. Rumble is probably the 4th most cared about "big 4" because the Rumble match draws itself.

Mania > Rumble > SummerSlam > Survivor Series.

Mania > Rumble > SummerSlam > Survivor Series.

It's funny how wrong you are.

Mania > Summerslam > Survivor Series > Rumble

Mania - biggest PPV of the year by a mile.

Summerslam - 2nd biggest. Most of the years big angles will start/end here.

Survivor Series - Used to be good, now it's just like bragging rights. They try to have big story-lines going in to it most years though to keep drawing good.

Rumble - hardly any effort goes into it, it draws itself with the Rumble match.

By your logic then, Mania should be last.
People buy Mania because it's Mania.
Most of the time the card isn't THAT great.

I'd love to know who told you that SummerSlam and Survivor Series are bigger than Rumble. Oh boy.

 

[Crayo]

... Rock vs Cena. Yeah of course Mania is the least important :facepalm:

I'd love to know who told you Rumble is second.

I'm not talking about Rock/Cena, I'm talking about in general.Just because a PPV draws itself, it doesn't mean it's not important..

Also:
It is classified as the second-biggest pay-per-view of the year by many,"

Seems I'm not the only one.

You can't use opinions as sources. most people wouild agree it's the 4th. Just look into what effort has been made into those 4.

Rumble this year - Was shit. Used the rumble match to push a future top face, the rest of the results were predictable and nothing really noticeable happened.

Summerslam (last year) CM Punk vs John Cena unification match ended there. THE biggest story-line in many years.

Survivor Series - Rock's first match back, teaming with his WM partner.

WM - Rock vs Cena and many other big matches. WM doesn't really draw itself, the ending to all big feuds/story-lines is the main draw. You think people would buy nearly as much if the card was just like a RAW card? No. But Rumble could have anyone on the card, but people will still buy for the Rumble match.

I think that is up to the THE ROCK HIM SELF!
