Oh, that Warrior. With his Internet character, working us all.

I'd like to add that one time I was reading this blog and he said he couldn't get something to work on his Mac.

I seriously pictured him beating the crap out of it yelling "damn infernal machine!"

Hey, we all have days when the computer is our worst enemy. All I can say, is that having met him in person earlier this month, his bark is worse than his bite.

I think a computer not working would just get the "ARGGGHHHAAAARGHH"

Of course he's going to be nice to fans, who's going to buy £50 autographs and workout regime's when you're stomping around like the bezerkers evil twin shouting about gay people and ethnic minorities.

Were you the guy that hugged him and cried?

So, there is no remote possibility, at all, that the Warrior is a decent kind of guy? He's a scoundrel and a scallywag, and that's all he'll ever be.

He's only nice when you are paying him? Well, I paid him for three photographs, he let me have six at no additional cost. He didn't need to if he was just taking my money.

Nope ;D I was twenty or so people behind that guy.

On Warrior, flip a coin...is he legittimately a crazy jerk (Possibly more of one than the other...gonna have to flip the coin again to decide which), or is he just someone who believes this is the best way to market himself and thus earn a living. Personally I subscribe to the theory that the warrior we see (Doing crazy stuff) is just an attempt by the former Jim Hellwig to stay current and talked about, and the reality is, much like others have said about wrestling characters, "SImply yourself to an exagerated degree".

As for Cena, is it a real comment or a work? Well if its a work, it is in fact doing the job....look at this 15 page thread on this board, bet there be more on others. Is it to try and set up a Cena/Rock match? Is it an attempt to get Cena some Heat with the Smarts/smarks (He must have figured the internet Wrestling Community would run with this. Maybe he figures he isn't booed enough.....)?
If its real, I don't really see it his way, but he's got a right to his opinion.

On the Rock, the guy made what he saw as the best career move.
He loved wrestling, it was very good to him, and it provided him with the chance to move up to the next rung, acting (LOTS of wrestlers seem to try their hand at acting). More fame, more notereity...more money, I don't care what your current job is, if you're already a performer/entertainer, it would have to be very hard to pass up that bunch of carrots.

As I think about it, if he stuck with wrestling, he'd be a part time movie actor and likely would end up missing out on certain projects, so he'd have to take whatever movies he was typecasted into being offered (Maybe I'm wrong, but look at the Hulk Hogan work history and tell me that he landed some quality projects). Then if he waited till he retired from wrestling to be a full time actor, what could he do then? He'd be an older, typecasted as a musclehead athlete turned wannabe actor.
I miss him on RAW, but then again I used to miss Foley, until his repeated "Returns" stopped being entertaining. Gotta love that he made it out withlittle to no permanent damage (I hope).

Just my 2 cents

Cena needs to just be quiet. He acts like he knows The Rock personally through his actions. [glow=red,2,300][/glow]Cena sounds like he is angry that he can never become the Rock.[glow=red,2,300][/glow] John should just keep being Superman and pathetically wrestle like he has been.

Pot calling the kettle black, with an anti-Cena twist.

What's with everybody acting like Cena's asking Rock to lace up his boots again? Dude said "make an appearance".

Damn near every post in here reads like one of those got damn "Don't Try this At Home" ads.

"John, don't you know that bodies have been battered?"

What if John Cena sold over 10 million records and became bigger than 50 Cent. Would he still be doing what hes doing? Please. What if "12 Rounds" becpmes the biggest movie of the decade. Will he still work 250 nights a year for Vince? Would you?

Yes he would.

You're trying to make comparisons to Rocky's situation and it doesn't work.

Dude's a B-Lister. Besides Rundown he hasn't had a truly classic flick and only 3 of the ones he's been in grossed over 80 mil; one of those was a bit part.

[Bobby Womack]

honestly who cares, i cant believe im somewhat siding with cena but hes a fan just like any one of us and many people on here have expressed the very same opinion cena did, i dont agree with that opinion but the difference is he actually knows from experience how much easier and safer the movie making life is than the wrestling life and he still holds that opinion so who am i to hold it against him?

[GaTechGrad]

If the Rock came back on a regular basis, then Cena and some of the others would be crying "zomg Rock is hogging the spotlight and holding the younger guys down." The Rock just doesn't want to become another Hulk Hogan. Guess you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

It won't because wrestlers in general are smart enough to not to think like smarks.

I wouldn't call it a classic, but for the last month me and my GF have wanted to see The Gameplan and it is constantly out of stock at the Blockbuster in town.

And plenty of good actors have not made "classic" flicks, especially in their first 5-6 years in Hollywood.

And if Cena's rap or acting career took off, I'd guarantee he'd be a part-timer at best now. But eventually the lure of money would be too great.

I'm not sure where the sentiment of Rock being a "good actor" came from, but that's neither here nor there.

Game Plan was one of the 3 big time flicks I was talking about, though. The other being Scorpion King.

And if Cena's rap or acting career took off, I'd guarantee he'd be a part-timer at best now. But eventually the lure of money would be too great.

Honestly, my point is, Rock never stumbled into Hollywood and suddenly blew up, putting actors and directors on notice. He jumped back and forth between WWE and Tinseltown for years, testing the waters.

If Cena suddenly became this mega star overnight it wouldn't even be a comparison to what happened with Rock.

Theres tens of millions of dollars to be made of touring, I cant see why he'd want to be traveling and taking a beating on his body when he could be traveling and just rapping for a couple hours. But maybe he really loves wrestling

Uhh, not really...

His words were, more or less, "If he really loves this, why can't he come back?"

That doesn't sound like "I want him to make a one off appearance" to me, it sounds like "I'm pissed that he retired." Given that he is making an appearance, if that's what Cena was pissed off about, it wouldn't make any sense for him to bitch about it.

Not really relevant though, he's still making more than he would as a wrestler for a career that's far less wear and tear on the body. Most actors aren't exactly him $100 million+ blockbusters, especially not at the start of their careers, unless you think Hercules in New York was a blockbuster.

Okay, two things:

1. I don't think you know that this interview was done before the Royal Rumble. They were still in negotiations for the Hall of Fame show appearance back then. Hence Cena talking about his own return.

2. LISTEN to the interview. Cena said this: "C'mon man, show up and give the eyebrow, then fly out, for all I care."

Does that sound like somebody wants you back on a full time basis? Maybe my head's smurfed up, I dunno, but Cena sounds like he just wants to see Rock once in a while.

]Not really relevant though, he's still making more than he would as a wrestler for a career that's far less wear and tear on the body.

My point is that you can't compare a speculative career boom for Cena with Rock's current life in Hollywood.
