pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_67512.shtmlWith him being around this much, I'm fine with him winning the WWE title. In Mania season there will be other big matches to build up that can get the spotlight while Rock is away. I still want CM Punk to beat him simply as a fan, but Rock winning the belt would be a shot in the arm for the company. Fans that aren't checking things online will be tuning in weekly hoping to see The Rock, and knowing there's a good chance they will since he's the champion.

I understand that the Rock has a busy schedule and everything, but THIS is the problem with having to rely on part-time workers to sell a PPV. How on earth can you build your main event match when the champion isn't even there for half the time?
There's seven weeks of build between Elimination Chamber and Wrestlemania. Out of the 14 major shows (Raw and SD) between them, Rock will only be appearing on FOUR of them. Now if the main event is a triple threat with him, Cena and Punk then they can maybe flesh it out by having Punk and Cena go back and forth for a few weeks. But if he has a singles match with Cena then my god they are going to have to time-waste until Rocky comes back.
And the annoying thing is that they could use that spare time to build all of the other matches on the card, but no doubt the shows will be filled with other part-timers like Undertaker, HHH and Lesnar.

I think Rock is winning the title at Royal Rumble then dropping it at Mania. That's what I think.

And that's why you don't ever give your top belt to a part time guy, especially heading towards Wrestlemania assuming Rock wins at the Rumble. It looks absolutely horrible not to have the champ at every show heading into the biggest event of the year.

That gap between 3/1 and 3/25 is what troubles me. I don't care if you show up for everything under the sun between now and March. That's 3 1/2 freakin weeks.
So, from what I'm gathering, we will have 3 Raws in a row where there is either a pre-recorded promo, or Cena yacking away to keep a pulse in the feud? Wow.

Guys, this isn't a complete list; it's just what's been gathered by local advertising. We'll likely find out more of his March dates as it gets closer.

I'm so glad Rock and Punk are coming to Arkansas. I never get to see them. Hell Orton's been ducking out on us for over a year in appearances.

Would love to go to Verizon and see him just before Wrestlemania.
Would want someone to go with me though and I also have to hope I have money to buy the tickets as soon as they go on sale (which I think I should.)

Well, that's what happens when you so royally screw your roster that you have to get retired and halfway retired stars just to keep your PPV's from tanking. As for the whole "shot in the arm" thing, the same thing that happened last year's gonna happen this year: People are gonna come and see the Rock be WWE Champion and Undertaker be Undertaker and once they're gone, so are the viewers because the only people in the company booked to matter these days are Punk, Cena, and the part-timers. There's only so long you can stuff up the holes with retirees before you either have to set out on putting in work with your roster or seeing how long you can cost off of "the good ol' days." |

I was looking forward to going to Raw in Pittsburgh to finally see the Rock. Guess I"ll be passing.

If he can't be there for every Raw between Elimination Chamber and Wrestlemania to build the main event then he shouldn't be given the belt, but he will anyway. The match will still probably be successful but not as much as it could be if Rock could appear live every week.

He going to be around more then not. People act like because if he is champion he as to be on every show in person. The weeks he not there live. He'll likely have something taped. Remember when NWO was in it's prime? Hogan as champion was not there every week. Hell there was Pay per Views where he didn't wrestle or defend the title. And he did that act for a lot longer then the what two months the Rock maybe champion in.
