Foley is still more of a guest wrestler (because he's in a vendetta with Orton), but he did team up for a "Rock and Sock Connection" with you-know-who a while ago so perhaps he'll become an active roster member again?

I really don't believe your rumour about Rock returning, Akdaman - show me some proof, because I've heard nothing. If its at Wrestlemania, I'd be majorly surprised, because apart from the matches for the belts and the dead rising they're being very quiet about a supposed return of the Rock.

Ya see , its all supposed to be a suprise , he is returning soon, I got no proof but I can tell you now that in 2 episodes time....the Brahma Bull returns.

Let's hope he doesn't!

Me I'd like to see Sting return, it's been too long without one of the best of all time. I don't watch much wrestling lately, I prefer to watch old tapes of Monday Nitro when wrestling was at its peak (for me).

Also what's this i hear about WWE giving Scott Hall another chance? Yay to the AA!

Actually WWE giving Scott Hall a chance is a rumor I havent heard...but I have been hearing Bret Hart to come by on Wrestlemania and say a goodbye speech.

A goodbye speech? That's one old rumour! That was supposed to happen last year wasn't it?

The return of Bret would be huge though, imagine a match with Shawn Micheals!

Nah dont expect any matches ...just a goodbye speech and some fireworks. And if it ever happens then this year is the best time for him to do it ...Wresltmaina XX ...the granddaddy of em all.

Your'e right on 1 thing, it need more hardcore , and I believe that very soon Paul Heyman will bring back the Hardcore title , I mean hid got Ryno and Hardcore Holly in a fued , 2 people who thrive for hardcore matches.

But do you know who the current champion is at the moment ? A 5 ft 9 Eddie Guerrero. WWE have started to back off the Big men trait , I mean they got Chris Benoit as one of the title contendors. Rey Myestirios popularity at the moment is through the roof and even Jericho is a crowd favourite.

Fat chance of Bret wreslting with Shawn. Bret hates Shawn's guts.

AND YES, bring back Steve Blackman!

It's party time!

O.K ...The Rocks return is near us , I cant wait to see him lay the smackadown on Evoloution.

I dont think he will stay for too long though , he will probaly leave right after Wresltmania XX.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #34 on:** February 26, 2004, 08:28:43 PM »

and in the meantime he (The Rock) takes away someone elses slot for the show. What a waste.

This was perhaps the most intelligent post in this thread, so far!

Apparently on people on the board dont like The Rock , because there are commercials of the Rock returning March 1st on Raw and after those ads were shown the show sold out. The Rock still has his MIllons and Millions of Rock fans.

By your logic, that means we should all be Rock fans.
I think you either love or loathe him (guess which one I am ^_____^) and that polarisation of fans certainly does well for the ratings as you point out. I loved his mini-fued with the Hurricane last year (the backstage banter of him telling Hurricane to "go get him some hamburgers" and the Hurricane telling him "the Scorpion King has a small ding-a-ling" was a highlight of the year).

But I don't think Rocky will stay long. Give him a month or so to stir the proverbial wasp nest on Raw before disappearing again for his next promotional tour.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 28, 2004, 10:15:13 AM »

I agree with you , he aint gonna stay long , he will leave right after Wresltmania.

O.K - News just in - Ric Flair has apparently done his neck , it is survely injured and mar bring an end to his long carrer. Dont expect him to be in the ring again.

- Edges return has been delayed , he was supposed to go into rehab for his neck this week , and return to WWE in less then a month , but he just sprained his ankle ( badly ) and his return is now delayed. Also HHH wants Edge on Raw , this has caused quite a stir seeing as Smackdown needs another Crowd Favourite who can pull in big draws.

FYI, this ridiculousness of The Rock taking someone else's spot on the show is just plain silly. First, if that spot belonged to someone deserving, even The Rock couldn't take it away. Second, Wrestlemania XX will be FIVE HOURS LONG this year. There's room for anyone and everyone that deserves to be on the program.

Shift Key · « **Reply #40 on:** March 03, 2004, 03:11:04 PM »

*wants to see Edge and Christian tag-team again

As for the Rock and Sock connection it is sad to see Rock steal the limelight yet again.
And I'll be able to see a Wrestlemania live for the first time ever because of a favourable uni timetable

Bupbow. Apparently he was invited to say goodbye, but told the WWE to shove it because he wasn't being inducted into the Hall of Fame at WMXX.

I 100% agree with you , infact down at www.nodq.com there was a major debate on weather the Rock should be there or not , in the end most people agreed that The Rock made Wrestlemania and if he were not allowed to be at the grandaddy of em all then Vince could shove a pie up his ass.

You're kidding, right? Rock did not make WM. Are you forgetting other wrestlers that made WM what it is today such as Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Andre the Giant, Steve Austin etc......(and any others I'm forgetting)

Jump off the Rock bandwagon, will ya?!

Shift Key · « **Reply #43 on:** March 04, 2004, 01:40:45 AM »

Well I can remember Austin defeating Rock in WMXV and again two years later, while HHH defeating Rock, Big Show and Foley in that Fatal Four-Way match WM 2000. All these matches decided the holder of the WWE belt. I know Rock has won some matches in recent years, but his results when the belt is on the line don't scream "legend".

You really seem to be underestimating the Rock , believe me , I am not the only person who believes The Rock made wrestlemania along with Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan , I wont comment on Andre or Bret , Shawn because I never seen thier matches.

Whether its Rock vs Austin at X7 or Rock vs Hogan at X8 , The Rock always put on great matches.
Same goes to Stone Cold with his matches against all the top wrestlers ...these 2 men kept WWF alive during the war with WCW.

Anyway off this topic ...I wanna know what you all think bout the Dead Mans return ? Undertaker coming back as the Phenom.

And that's why you shouldn't say that Rock made WM if you haven't see others wrestle at WM.

Apparently they were planning to celebrate the tenth anniversary of that match by throwing in a last minute schedule change to a triple threat ladder match for the Heavyweight belt (which would be AWESOME if done well) but it doesn't look like it. ;______;

O.K then sorry , let me change my comment for you ...The Rock , Austin and Hogan created wreslting.

Undertaker
HHH
Mankind
Rock
Austin are the top 5 greates wrestler of the past decade ...now dont try to argue , these are the Top 5 voted wrestlers in the decade from best of Raw.
