The man has done it all in the WWE, and has had some of the most epic battles on the grandest stage, with the likes of Hogan, Austin and Cena. But, it doesn't seem fitting that his WrestleMania career end with his last match being a 6 second squash against Erick Rowen.
If Rock deserves one more match before an official retirement, it should be against HHH. As much as we are sick and tired of Triple H hogging up the Mania spotlight, it would only be fitting since Triple H seems to be Rock's greatest rival next to Stone Cold. Their feuds go back from Rocky Maivia/Hunter Hurst Helmsley, to DX vs. the Nation, to the world title picture.

I could happily live with Rock never having a match again but if he did have one more, I think the absolute worst case scenario is Triple H. I like Triple H, he's still capable of damn good stuff, but I don't get the point of a match that was done to death back in the day except this time both guys are almost 50 and out of practice.

I love both guys, but I'm good with seeing neither man in the ring again honestly; much less against one another.

Well, one more for them would be another example of "Triple H wins and proves he's the best ever". That's the only reason they'd pull that match out. |

I'm firmly in the camp of "If I never see either of these guys wrestle again, I'm okay with it."

I disagree. Let's say hypothetically Dwayne had one last match in him, I'd prefer it be against Brock or Batista. Match quality aside (for either), I feel both could provide an entertaining feud/story.

Rock should come back as Rocky Maivia and job to Elias on the Backlash kick-off show and then act like the whole thing never happened.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Considering the last time The Rock had a competitive match he ripped muscle off the bone...yeah, no.

God no. Between Triple H's ego and Rock not really being in ring shape anymore, this sounds like a nightmare.

I think the benefit of a match against Triple H is that Triple H can have the kind of match that most Rocky fans would want from him without setting expectations too high. Statistically whenever the Rock mixes it up with anyone else it just becomes about the Rock anyways so I don't know if it's helpful to give him a fresh match. |

Triple H seems to want to mostly just put over the products of his developmental system at this point, and if Rock is coming back I'd rather he put someone fresh over and they make sometrhing of it.

No thanks. Triple H is still capable of having great matches with younger guys who can go, but Rock blows up in minutes these days. It'd be terrible.

I don't really have a ton of interest in it, and I say that as someone who thinks Triple H was probably Rock's best rival. They really played to each other's strengths, but they've wrestled what feels like 900 times. I don't really see much story in doing it again now of all times.

I think The Rock should go out on a high after his defeat of Erik Rowan at Wrestlemania.

Not unless they allow Rock to carry an oxygen tank on his back.

Yes please. AFTER this match, neither has to step in the ring again.
