Loved seeing the Rock come back last night. I hope he stays a while.

As far as the Rock being greatest ever. I would say he's up there, but HBK, Flair and Stone Cold were better to me than the Rock. And that's the bottom line...

just because you don't like it doesn't make it lame..

Welcome to the real world where people like different things..

I watch it for the funny stuff they do, not the actual wrestling.

You shouldn't have children, because its clear your inner child doesn't exist. You would be a bad father.

Just to be clear. You are not watching "wrestling." You are watching the teenage boy equivalent of "Days of our Lives." With half naked men. Gripping one another. Tightly. And enjoying it.

LOL

Best description of wrestling ever!

The Rock did not suck in the ring. Hogan sucked in the ring. The Rock was better than average, with the greatest mic skills ever. He is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. It doesn't matter if he wasn't the most technical or anything. It's the SUM of the man that makes him the greatest. Nobody has captured the crowd like he had. Hogan lol, Cena lol, Macho Man lol, no one comes close. In kayfabe no one is bigger than The Rock.

Stone Cold was just as good. He has a different personality, but the crowd hung on his every single word just like they do The Rock.

What are the odds that the WWE had two people that could carry a crowd like they did at the same time. These types dont come around very often.

Stone Cold was great, no denying it. He's has quite a few Wrestlemania wins over The Rock if I remember correctly, but Stone Cold was no where near as big as The Rock. They still chant Stone Cold's "What?" lol. Loved the dude don't get me wrong, I'm just stating a fact. The Rock was bigger.


I was a HUGE Steve Austin fan btw. As much so as The Rock. Mick Foley is my favorite of all time though and I'd probably have to throw Macho Man in my top 3 as well.

So true. I watch just to hear him on the mic....and Im sure there are millions more like me out there.

Only thing I heard from people when they learned The Rock was coming back "I gotta start watching wrestling again!"

during that time they had a few. those where just the top 2. but Mick Foley and Y2J could do it also.

that's why it is commonly referred to as "wrasslin," and not wrestling.

They flip videos on youtube to keep the youtube automatic anti copyright program from tagging them and deleting them.

Same thing happens with file sharing sites where files are tagged as copyrighted so people throw in some random text files and re-zip them and post them again to beat the automatic checkers.

I figured it was something like that. rather simple and clever, actually.

Though it was disappointing to realize that the Rock was not wearing a backwards "I Bring It" T-shirt. The idea being that anyone--especially The Rock--does that just to impress themselves while admiring themselves in the mirror.

I use to love WWF back in the late 90's, but when Foley, Austin and Rock left it devolved into a bunch of meatheads in underwear acting gay.

I'm trying to remember how he turned face, but I can't seem to recall... was so long ago and I haven't followed this stuff in quite a few years .

I think it just happened naturally. He always acted like a "heel" but he was so hilarious that people loved him for it.

Alberto Del Rio is the greatest wrestler on the roster at the moment. The Miz has great mic skills, his wrestling is meh, but it has been improving. They actually have a crap load of talent right now, just some of their gimmicks are meh.

Agreed with the above, was ok as a kid with hogan giant and the rest, awesome as a teenager with rock/stone cold/mick and the evil mcmahons (i think that whole thing started after he screwed bret).. even wcw had some fun gimmicks going. after that it was just trash. I even bought a rock jersey..

as for ultimate warrior, they tried to bring him back as a ghost with hogan and nwo, he was a huge flop. i remember he used to have a 90s style blog.

Miz has great mic skills and he plays the heel well. His wrestling skills are barely above amateurish, but he has been improving quite a bit. I'm not going to say I'm a huge fan, but he is not even close to the worst on the roster, let alone RAW's roster.

Ultimate Warrior sucked and always sucked, he was a flash in the pan. Macho Man on the other hand, now that was a wrestler.
