The bigger the wrestler, the slower they are. Punk can be a quick wrestler as well, so it made him look slower than he was.

Just finished re-watching the Punk/Rock match, and while he definitely need to work on his cardio, the man was bumping and selling like a maniac. He might be rusty, but when it comes to bumps/selling, he's as great as ever. He made Punk look great.

It was a classic style match with a lot of strikes. It told a story of aggression at first. It was better than people give it credit for.

Firstly he is much much older now, we notice it more as he stopped then started. If he was wrestling consistently over last 8 yrs and getting bigger and changing his style we wouldn't notice as much.

The rock is so much more of a unit now for his films he's not nessecarily slower in efforts more to the fact mobility will be a lot more restricted to lack of range of elasticity.

The more fat u lose great but muscle weight is stupidly heavy. He could easily cut up and keep size and improve cardio but he would never be as quick as hea too heavy. Also remember once you hit 30 your body reacts very differently to exercise and recovery/ improvig body you slow down.

I have been working out 10 yrs and im only 28 and i notice a difference over last few yrs already. Im afraid to say no matter what we will never see the rock of old again. Angle hhh xpac hardyz etc anyone fast etc never again.
