I'm sure this has been said but it'll deliver on the level that Rock-Hogan delivered on.
Will it be a classic on the level of a Bret/Owen or HBK/Angle? Absolutely not. But, because of how big these two stars are, a ridiculously hot crowd firmly for one man and against the other, and I'm sure a ton of false finishes, should make it a pretty damn good match.

Do you actually THINK this match won't deliver? Do you actually THINK that a match with the Great One would not deliver? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! When the Rock's music hits and the million AND MILLIONS of the Rock's fans begin to chant his name, you will feel the electricity as the People's champ layeths the smacketh down John Cena.. .John Cena the Rock will see you at Wrestlemania! The Rock guaren...DAMN...TEES to deliver the People's boot straight up your CANDY ASS.....CAN YOU SMELLLLLLLLL WHAT THE......ROCK IS COOKING?!

You know, I wonder if the Rock would be subject to Wellness Testing?

Match-wise? Probably not.
Atmosphere-wise? Off the scale.

Cena will carry The Rock to a good match. The atmosphere will make it a great match.

Cena can't carry someone like HBK did?
Um, he carried Umaga and Khali to better matches than HBK did.
As far as the match, sure it will deliver. Both men know how to play with a crowds emotions.

Rock'll be rusty, but I'm sure they'll get in some closed doors run-throughs and training in to shake the cobwebs out. He's kept himself in very good shape so I reckon it'll come back quick.
And if it does, it's not like Cena's going to have to do all the heavy lifting workrate wise. Rocky should be able to hold his own just fine.
I think it'll be a good match, and done right WWE should be able to make the atmosphere suitably epic to raise it up another level. I'm pretty confident about it, I reckon we could be talking a four star kind of encounter.

Im with this guy, no one will be carrying anyone, theyre basically total equals when it comes to workrate, really. Rock having rings tells me too that he takes it seriously so he isn't gonna stumble out there like some totally clueless fool

The whole thing that sucks about this match is it can only reasonably end in one way. Cena going over. With Rock or Austin you didnt know. Rock and Hogan- Kind of knew but again both were active competitors at the time so the outcome wasn't set in stone. With Warrior and Hogan you had no clue. Andre and Hogan- You pretty much knew of course

I think it will.
Cena is good enough to carry Rock to a fun match and the crowd will be electric throughout.

My concern is what if one of them gets injured just before Mania? A years hype over nothing. Barring a freak accident, nothing is going to happen to The Rock. Cena would work hurt

Andre and Hogan- You pretty much knew of course I hear this a lot, but I personally don't agree with it being that obvious. Rock is a former wrestler, nowadays he's a celebrity, Vince loves celebrities, he always puts them over at Wrestlemania. I mean remember Jericho defeating 3 legends only to be punched out by Mickey Rourke? Remember the Raw special for Rock's birthday? The focus was on his celebrity status and his celebrity friends not on his wrestling accomplishments. So yes, I do think Rock will go over to please the Miami crowd, hence I don't think the championship will be involved. But even if it is involved, I'd still be more inclined to believe Rock will win.

Yes. Cena always delivers in big match situations, and The Rock has NEVER let us down in a big main-event. He always puts on a great show.

It's got a years worth of planning behind it, it had damn well BETTER be a good match!
Though the crowd reactions will make it memorable no matter what.

Putting Rock over Cena though business wise would make no sense though unless Rock came back full time and of course that won't happen. No way they put a move star wrestling only once over the top face of their company. I would love for it to happen and they maybe continue a fued but chances are they won't. I hate the whole obviousness of it thus why I can't really get into it. Its better to keep people on the edge of their seat and bring it to the realm of unpredictability. This is as predictable as the day is long
