Think I'll have a wank over these tomorrow.
I think you summed it up best a few weeks ago chappers when you said that people loved The Rock because he did stuff but now he is just dwelling on what he did which is boring. People have dwelled on the rock since he left the company for 7 years, we don't need to dwell on his return to.I was always more of an Austin fan anyway, Austin comes back and hosts tough enough not to promote himself but for the good of the company. Austin never sucked up to the fans either but you could tell he appreciated them and when he did show his respect you knew he meant it which is precisely why I liked him.The Rock just "panders" to the fans to be honest. Cena is a bit sickly sweet to the fans too but with him you actually get the impression he really means it and does actually care about his fans whereas with the rock I see him as being egotistical.

Say what you will about Cena but he's always been the hardest worker in WWE. He always comes back early from injuries, works every show, goes on every tour and still films movies and appearances. The guy lives and breathes WWE and even if he somehow manages to get "Rock fame" he'd never leave WWE for 7 years.You can sort of tell that Rock got the itch to wrestle, you could see it in his eyes at mania, but he's still here for all the wrong reasons. It's to plug his movies (even if he doesn't outwardly mention it), it's to get his face on camera so studios can see him and hire him - because let's face it, supporting role in Fast Five, as well as it did, Tooth Fairy, Race to Witch Mountain... not exactly an A-List filmography. It's about him. Adam you said it perfectly with Austin. He's in movies too now, he could be doing it for fame but he isn't. He's doing it for the fans and for the business. I always liked Rock for what he was, but right now, I'm kind of sick of him.
