My DVR cut of early what happened after Cena interrupted Vince and Punk?

"You will bring back the WWE ice cream bars." ~ CM Punk

That's a good promo, but I wonder if Rock actually believes he has that many fans anymore. Most of his fans stopped watching wrestling 10 years ago.

LTgiants · 07-13-2011, 09:19 PM

I think the Rock still has plenty of the millions upon millions of his fans. Don't think he has lost most of them.

Brodeur · 07-13-2011, 09:31 PM

The Rock does nothing for me anymore. CM Punk did far more in the last three weeks to make an interesting feud than The Rock could do in a year of build up.

LTgiants · 07-13-2011, 09:41 PM

I like Punk but I would not underestimate The Rock. When it gets closer to Wrestlemania the build will of course be better then it is right now.

Halsey · 07-13-2011, 09:41 PM

That was good. Pretty convincing job of making it come across as an unplanned rant at Cena instead of a promo.

bearsfan_51 · 07-13-2011, 09:42 PM

The Rock lost a lot of his fans the first time he left 10 years ago. His act is stale.

LTgiants · 07-13-2011, 09:44 PM

So does that make Austin stale? Cause I think guys like Austin and Rock can never get stale. No matter how long they have been gone.

Better than the Rock/Cena build yes, but not even close to Punk/Cena. Punk is in another world than Rock in every single way.

Are we talking about The Rock in his prime or the current version. The Rock in his prime might be the G.O.A.T.

Ya cause Punk's match is coming up in a few days and Rock's is month's away. They still have more time to build up Rock/Cena.

Sigh, you are missing the point completely. Rock/Cena is just not as interesting as Punk/Cena because Punk is a billion times better than The Rock.

bearsfan_51 · 07-13-2011, 10:02 PM

Yes, Austin is extremely stale.

What?

You are missing my point. I am saying since the Punk/Cena feud is more current and about to reach its end in a few days you find it more interesting since the Rock feud is months away and far from its end at WM.

Ya Punk is the better wrestler. No question Rock has not wrestled in years. Is there anything else Punk is a better at then Rock?

What legend isn't stale then? I think it is worse to be guys like Cena and Orton and to be stale.

bearsfan_51 · 07-13-2011, 10:13 PM

Yes. Punk is much better on the mic. This isn't 1999 anymore.

Shawn Michaels, for example, doesn't just prance around and say the same 3-4 catch phrases over and over.

LTgiants · 07-13-2011, 10:16 PM

I am not trying to bash Punk. I think you guys are being way to hard on Rock for no real reason.

I think the Rock is still pretty dam good on the mic. It doesn't matter if it 1999, 2011 or any time further in the future.

Shawn Michaels said catch phrases over and over as well. I just don't get this hate on Rock.

bearsfan_51 · 07-13-2011, 10:18 PM

Of course it matters. There's a reason why sequels are almost never as good as the original. People don't like to see the same thing over and over.

I like to see movies I have already seen over and over but hey I guess that is just me.

I don't see what is wrong with his mic work now compared to then. I think he is still better then just about every wrestler today when it comes to talking.
