Hopefully that will include a couple title defenses.

You know what? I haven't really watched a full episode of RAW in months. It's not because I dislike the product or anything, I've just gotten into the habit of watching clips the following morning and doing something else on Monday nights.
I think with The Rock being back on every Monday in January is enough of a reason to give it a shot again. Pretty excited to say the least. I hope we get some TV matches.

The Rock in the month of January will show up more times than Brock Lesnar has in a year. Yet everyone bitches about The Rock being undeserving of anything because he's a part timer yet Brock seems to get a free pass

This really needed to be left in 2011. It has no merit anymore and doesn't even make sense now. But he did bring it via satelite, a lot.

They were really pre taped but he wasnt there so it counts. All of which were done for the Cena feud and all of which were done in 2011. He has appeared live way more than those three times he wasnt there. The reason I said it makes no sense is because of statements like yours and Numero99. People think all Rock has done were taped segments. And the fact that it hasnt been done in 2 years, the fact that he is confirmed to be showing up live for these dates just makes it all the more weird to see people still saying stuff like that.

Actually I think that this needs to happen. If the Rock is there for every show, and his mystique is waned a bit, they'll stop treating him like a god and start treating him like "one of the boys".

Yet everyone bitches about The Rock being undeserving of anything because he's a part timer yet Brock seems to get a free pass You do realize that Brock appeared on almost every RAW around the time of Extreme Rules immediately after his return,and never ''brought it via satellite'',right? Not to mention that he lost his first match.

The build to Extreme Rules lasted all of three weeks, and to the best of my knowledge, Brock isn't exactly juggling two careers right now. The "via satellite" stuff was a part of the story they were telling with Rock/Cena, and when it came time for the match that actually mattered, Rock was there in the six weeks it took to build towards it. Just like he'll be around to build to his matches with Punk and whatever else comes afterwards. So what? Just like the Rock, he did what WWE paid him to do. It's not a big deal.

This pretty much ensures that something big is going to happen, right? Glad Rock is able to spend this much time on wrestling for a bit.

Rock was there for six weeks because it was Wrestlemania. Brock is yet to have a match at Mania and will probably appear as much as Rock did last year. And returning from a company like UFC yet accepting to lose your first match is a big deal,despite losing in strong fashion.

Wrestlemania or not, he could have easily just bs'ed and only did the RAW before the actual match. Rock has put in way more time and commitment to the WWE than Lesnar and I dont see how anyone can argue against that. He sure as hell isnt going to be around as frequent as Rock is about to do in 2013, which just furthers the point.

Wasn't there a story going around that Brock was extremely upset about having to lose his first match? Might be newz, but I don't think Brock was as "accepting" as you think. Also, just my opinion but Brock doesn't seem to have NEARLY the passion for WWE that Rock does.

If Brock had caused that much chaos backstage,they wouldn't have him break HHH's arm afterwards. I definitely agree that Rock has more passion for WWE,what I'm trying to state is that there's no such thing as Brock getting a free pass. He made many appereances too and I'm sure he'll do as much as Rock during the Mania season. He returned one year after Rock,so their ''appereances'' cannot be compared by one side right now. There is no downside to both men in that are imo.

Just like he'll be here for the entire build to the Rumble, in February, and (assuming) to build to his WrestleMania match. He made a commitment and is honoring that like anybody else would, just as Brock Lesnar is doing the same. And it's really not that big a deal. One fake loss isn't going to mean anything to anybody, especially if they spend the entire match killing the guy they're fighting and losing the flukiest way possible. Nothing against Brock, but it's not like he did a favor at some huge cost to himself.

I want them to heel him out so bad, but with Punk in the heel role, its obviously not happening. Definitely cant wait for him to take shots at Fruity Pebbles. I hope they don't hold anything back and let it rip.
