Fuck that was amazing. I marked out like a little girl. Dude talked for like 20 minutes and the entire time, chills. He said he's returned to never leave again, and I really hope he's being honest.
Great to see Dwayne back on WWE television - dropping cursewords and f-bombs on PG TV as the censors struggle to keep up with him...not to mention how he managed to bury John Cena's 7 year reign at the top in 2 minutes.
Sounds like he's just going to be hosting wrestlemania to me. I only happened to spot him while changing channels, he would be crazy to start wrestling again with the 20 randy orton-esque nxt bore-fest wrestlers and that idiot stephanie mcmahon being head of talent.
You know what? In this era of John Cena (whose entire gimmick is that he's a 13-year old douchebag) giving weak promos calling people "ham sandwiches" and talking about his "mom taking away his Warcraft account" I welcome The Rock back. It's about time someone showed the Cena children what a REAL smack-talking was all about. Last year, when Stone Cold returned and Cena came out to the ring, I marked out a little when Stone Cold crouched down as if to give Cena a Stunner.
" So sad. Johnson is so much more talented than this. "
Agreed. "
Lolno, if either of you even knew what you were talking about, instead of being blind wrestling haters you would know that anything he has ever done in WWF/WWE is better than anything he has ever done in his entire movie career.
I'm not sure how others use it. I use for when something is so great it makes me forget about the scripted nature of WWE and just makes me want to scream like i'm 10 again.
watched the end of raw because I couldnt sleep (its 4:30am here)
the dude can still yell into a mic. will be watching mania and hoping to be entertained. watching it the last few years has been kind of a chore. I guess he will be putting over Cener like Hogan did with him back at mania 17? or was it18? passing the touch and what not.
come to think of it the rock leaving wwe was kind of my stopping point with wresting. never really keep up with it outside of mania and just turning it on when there is nothing on.
" you know who killed the macho action stars? them twilight vampires and werewolfs did. 5 years from now sparkly dudes and furry dudes will be all the rage. "
Yeah...macho action stars were dead for about 15 years before Twilight dude. They were replaced by "gritty". Also, you give far too much importance to those movies. They're one movie series, get over it.
Marked is stupid lingo that internet wrestling fans use. Just forget you saw it and move on. "
It's not internet lingo when it's been around since the beginning of professional wrestling dude. "
Nowadays only Internet fans use it, and Matt Striker, who got removed from the announcers table after saying "I marked" on television. It's stupid. "
As someone who used to watch a good bit a few years back. This is wrong. Its still a thing that is said among all fans. Its right up there with Face/Heel and what not.
I was real into it in the late 90s until, like, 2004ish. I just started watching it within the past few months because its the only thing really on at that time slot, so I've become accustomed to the characters and personalities they have right now. As much as I do enjoy it, its nothing compared to the charisma and gimmicks they've used in the past (though Santino Marella and John Morrisson have considerable amounts of character), but after watching Johnson just go on for 20 minutes and pretty much own every second of it, I was instantly 12 again. Loved every second of it. But honestly, I can't see him sticking around for anything more than a handful of big matches to prove a point.
" So sad. Johnson is so much more talented than this. "
Agreed. "
Agree with both of you. "

Again pal, it's not used in kayfabe land, nor do the kiddies (99% of the current fanbase) know what it means. So take your "mark" and shove it up your candy ass.

Just for the record putting "Lol" at the beginning of your sentence isn't a great way to get people to take what you have to say seriously. Even when the topic is big sweaty-man soap operas.
@Mcfart: What does that mean? They don't say things like "heel" or "face" on the show either and I'm sure the kids don't know what that means either. So, does that mean no one should say that either? I don't understand what you're trying to prove here.

Just for the record, you're still wrong. But you'd rather criticize the use of "lol". "BAWWW YOU HAVE TO BE SERIOUS AT ALL TIMES ON THE INTERWEBS!"
I'm not a wrestling fan but this was pretty cool. My cousin forced me to watch Raw but that ending was fantastic. Reminded me of how much I liked the Rock when I was a youngster.
He's really cool and I wish he had a better movie career, but oh well. This is cool too.
I should've gone to the show. I was broke & couldn't afford tickets, so I guess that's an excuse, but the arena is only 20 minutes away from my apartment. And my FAVORITE wrestler of all time,The Rock shows up. FUCK

Hes not trying to prove anything, he's just being difficult for the sake of arguing.
