Why? It doesn't change the quality of the show any. The WWE has 99 problems, but the Rock ain't one. If the Rock doesn't get booked for WM, you think the WWE would give that time to someone lower on the card? Doubtful! They'll look to maximize profit potential with other big names. We're talking about a company that had no beef whatsoever opening the biggest PPV with a 15 second match for a major title.
It seems a major complaint about the Rock is that he's robbing a potential WM moment from all the hard-working wrestlers that aren't guaranteed an appearance. Is the Undertaker not doing the same?
I really can't wrap my head around the concept that the Rock is wrong here.
TBH I can't wrap my head why everyone thinks it's cool for a guy to work one show, get the main event, put himself over, not the talent staying all year, and then leave 'til next year's show.
I was starting to not care as much about him beating WWE's most loyal guy as it looked like WWE was going to do something with it. Dwayne even menioned wanting the WWE title... but if he's not coming back to 2013 then all he did was put himself over with no leading angle to follow. BS is what is IMHO. But we'll call it a day here because these Rock debates never end. I just don't get why WWE couldn't do a SummerSlam match with Orton but whatevs. It's not like I wanted to see him. Like Apex I don't actually care if he shows, it was just the principal of the thing.
