Ouch. Yeah, between that and the fact that Rock also get injured last year, I have to imagine nobody in Hollywood's going to permit him to get in the ring ever again.

Vince: "Where the hell is Dwayne at? Somebody fetch me my Rick Martel rotary phone. I gotta make a phone call to remind him to get his ass down here NOW!" *Vince calls Rock, takes about three minutes because Vince kept rotating 7 instead of 8*Rock: "Hello?" Vince: "Hey Dwayne! It's Vince! Where are..." Rock: "Hello?" Vince: "Yeah Dwayne! It's Vince! What's going..." Rock: "Who is this?" Vince: "VINCE MCMAHON DAM...." Rock: "HA HA! This is a recorded message. Leave a message at the beep." *BEEP*Vince: "Listen here you dumb son of a bitch! If I ever see you again, I'm going to rip...." Rock: "HA HA! I made the beep noise. But seriously, leave your message after this beep." *BEEP**Vince throws rotary phone across the room*I can respect anyone who makes a reference to Archer, but to then compare him to Rock! I consider you a good friend now!

]I can respect anyone who makes a reference to Archer, but to then compare him to Rock! I consider you a good friend now! I just started watching it on Netflix recently, and I must say I really enjoy it. The recurring gag with Mallory calling Archer's voicemail is never not funny. And Dr. Krieger's Rush-inspired vans are disturbing, but brilliant.

I noticed when Booker announced Rock was injured & the crowd chanted bullshit, Booker was about to continue speaking, but Cena stopped him, walked over to the ropes and pointed the mic towards the crowd. Thought that was interesting.

So with news of his injury do you feel differently about his performance in the match?

"Rocky, you look like you have something to say. Do you?"

I really want to know what they were saying when they were talking in the ring. I saw Rock say "I came back for moments like this" and they didnt seem to be friendly.

Thought that was interesting. Seemed to me like Cena was being a weasel and trying to take the heat off of himself, since the crowd were crapping all over him. While Cena may not have been aware of the bullshit internet rumor that the Rock had "left the WWE high and dry", it was still pretty sly of him considering he knew the Rock was legitimately injured.

That's basically how I took it, Cena was trying to get in with the crowd, so he played along.

Damn, that has to hurt like hell. Here's hoping Hercules is a quick shoot, then. Also guessing for putting it in that much jeopardy... Yeah, whether intended or not that was probably Rock's last match.

Oh well. He had a great return, sucked the life out of WrestleMania 27, stunk up the joint at Royal Rumble and the Chamber, and turned me completely against him. I'll live without him and his antiquated schtick.

I respect the Rock for what he has done and will always be a fan of his from one extent to another. But to me the fact that Dolph takes insane bumps every single week and doesn't get injured, while Rock has two or three matches a year and has suffered a lot of wear and tear (with a physique that is viewed upon as in shape) in this match is staggering to me.
I do however wish him well in recovery.

This is why I hate it when people begrudge him for not sticking to wrestling. He has 4 torn muscles that say he made the right choice in life by making movies.

I do however wish him well in recovery. Rock just too damn big for himself. Dolph's actually much leaner than he was when he debuted, allowing him to be the bump machine he is. Rock's got all that show-muscle for his movie roles, and for wrestling it's absolutely not functional. 2 matches with Cena, who never injures anyone, and 2 serious injuries. He's not physically cut out for wrestling anymore. I think with how much Rock has blown up in Hollywood, and taking his age into account, he realized that this was his last chance to go back to WWE and have a few matches again, and as a fan I appreciate it a lot as I don't see this as being a money-grab at all. However, I think/hope this is the end of the road for him and he probably realizes it too. I don't want to see him risk more serious injuries, and he's got an awesome job/life where he doesn't have to beat himself up for money anymore.

I posted somewhere else in this thread what someone on Reddit who could lipread said they were saying. To paraphrase Cena said "When I was 20 and walked in a gym in california and saw you on the TV I knew this is what I wanted to do" The Rock "I came back for them, but I came back for you to give you this moment"

@brethart I heard Rock tore 4 out of the 10 muscles in his abdomen Bret Hart, 1999: "He's sitting at home with some kind of hokey injury. This is a REAL injury, Rocky! This is a groin pull the likes you've never seen in your entire life!!"
