Rock vs HHH in 2016?

[mcstoklasa]

(Obviously if this is true)


So apparently Rocky might be wrestling Triple H in the main event of Wrestlemania 32. I don't want to be too negative and maybe I'll enjoy it if the story is good but I am not in favour of this, if true.

Rock is a huge star obviously, so I understand why he's there but I... I just don't think he's a good wrestler anymore. He's one of the best ever, and a good actor too, but I'm not too excited to see him wrestle anymore. Triple H, well he's still solid in the ring but yeah, I don't need to see him fight Rock.

It's like if Austin DID come back (which he won't), I wouldn't want him to fight Rock, HHH or Taker as we've seen that already. Have him against Lesnar or Cena. It was at least interesting to see Rock vs Cena the first time in a star of the past vs a current star kind of a way.

When people complain about part-timers THIS is where I agree with them. It annoys me when they throw Lesnar in as one of the old past it part timers as he appears far more regularly than any of them, is completely relevant and still in his prime and on top of his game. Rock may be one of the biggest stars in the world but I don't care to see him wrestle again. If an attitude era did have a match, I'd much rather see Austin (instead of Rock and Triple H appearing, not having ALL of them taking up space on the card), but obviously that's off the table.


What do you think?

I have little interest, even as a nostalgia feud because I just can't stand the Rock. I know if he returned to feud with someone we'd get 15 minute promos where he shouts loudly, tells Triple H to stick something up his bottom and then compares him to a bowl of Kellog's Frosties whilst telling a long drawn out, boring story about stealing a car from a junkie and having an onion tied to his belt that the audience laugh along too for some reason despite it being as funny and entertaining as a colonoscopy.

I'm assuming that any plans involving Rousey are off the table now, because she's apparently filming that Roadhouse remake during the WM buildup period.

Yeah, Steph won't get to go over her now.

I cannot imagine a Main Event I'd be less interested in seeing. I'd even take Brock/Rock over this.

Rock is past relevance as a wrestler, he had his run, he had his comeback nostalgia run, he's a one-shot crowd pop guy now.
HHH is still able to wrestle but he should not be sniffing any main event of any show, and he is so beyond stale and overdone.

Who benefits from this match? Whoever wins they're not gonna be wrestling the next night or week or month. And it denies an actual new star or stars the main event.

I hate to go there, but if they did this, it just makes CM Punk's reasons for quitting all the more relevant. Nobody who warrants the Mania main event is getting it for as long as WWE keep trotting out Attitude Era rehashes, and HHH is desperate to be seen as the star of the Attitude Era.

[mcstoklasa]

What do you guys think should be the main event?

There was no way Rousey was losing the match based on the "Celebrities always win" rule alone. Sure, there might have some Stephanie heat segments that would have got people mad, but let's not worry ourselves with hypotheticals now...

Anyway, back to this other hypothetical, it depends on how the rest of the card shapes up whether or not I'd be fine with Rock v Triple H or not. Basically, speaking for myself, if we can also get Undertaker v Cena, Shield Triple Threat for the world title, Owens v Zayn for the IC belt and something great for The New Day, then by all means, have the WM singles match that should have happened back in 2000.

[mcstoklasa]

A Shield triple threat would be tremendous.

The New should have a big moment at Mania.

Who is Taker going to wrestle?

Who is Brock going to Bork?

[Big Bad Kahuna]

Nah do it in 2017 so we have a 20 year anniversary of their legendary IC title switch that singlehandedly reversed all momentum WCW had towards the WWF product with the young hot fresh stars

[ilggant]

I'm up for it, as long as it doesn't go last

[Deleted]

I still like Rock and generally like HHH these days but I have zero interest in this match. WWE's already overly reliant on part-timers; having the biggest show of the year end with a main event between two guys who peaked 15 years ago would basically be a giant middle finger to anyone who cares about the current, active roster.

[mcstoklasa]

So Lesnar is facing Reigns or Rollins then, isn't he?

[Ryushinku]

I wouldn't want it as the main event, but otherwise I would have no problem with it.

I think they can put on a decent match, with plenty of history to call on. And I prefer this as a single slot to them having two individual matches which would suck up two other wrestlers.

[mcstoklasa]

I'm just thinking of the part timers who will be on the card..


Rock vs Triple H (two part timers in one match)

Taker vs...

Sting vs ??

Brock* vs


---

Other old dudes who will hopefully be in the battle royal only-


Show, Kane, Henry




*Only 38. Works full time compared to the other part timers.

[mcstoklasa]

That HHH/Rock backstage segment last year was utter brilliance though

I'd prefer Undertaker v Cena over anything else... Mostly because I can't think of anything else. Still, it's a money match, streak or no streak.

Sting... Let's just see how he recovers from this neck injury before we fantasy book him.

Forgot about Lesnar before, mostly because I'm still holding out for Lesnar v Bryan, but Bryan's with Sting in that "if, not when" category. Otherwise, I'm honestly not sure...

Nah, 2018 so it can be the 20th anniversary of DX bashing down WCW's door with a tank and killing them once and for all.

[Ruthless Pessimism]

Rock/Hunter would be a decent enough match. The build would be tremendous.

Rock/Brock would be better, especially if Rock got his cardio up and could really go with Lesnar like their first meeting.

Two (or three) guys working a fulltime schedule
