All I remember most about this show was how f***ing terrible the ring set up was live. Rock, Cena and the ref were all in a row begins the damn palm trees and everyone vanished.

I remember it being very exciting.
I loved that, instead of a clear heel and babyface, it was more a battle of generations. It was a "whose side are you on" for the fans. Some people were team Cena, some people were team Bring It.
As much as I love The Rock, I was rooting for Cena because he was the current guy, and surprisingly thought he out-did Rocky during their promos.

I think if Cena got injured, they would of either had Punk defend the wwe title against the Rock or Rock vs Orton at mania 28 (where rock wins) then Rock vs Cena at Mania 29. (Honestly that probably would Of been better) There is no way they would have done Rock vs Orton at WM 28 had Cena got injured. Orton was pretty lame during that time and couldn't have hyped the match like Cena and the Outcome would have been way too obvious also. I mean they didn’t really have any other option other than maybe Punk. Taker and HHH already faced the Rock several times, Edge had to retire due to injury, Batista had just left the company. They didn’t have many stars in 2012. Plus it’s Randy frickin Orton, he could easily be built up to take on the Rock |

If it had been Pre-Pipebomb Punk i might have agreed about Rock vs Orton being the bigger deal, but overall no absolutely not. Orton giving it a great built? His Promos wouldn't have had like 10% of the impact Cena's had. Cena was really on another Level around that time he basically owned Rock in every single Promo they had. Not even Punk done that well against Rock on the mic like Cena. Taker vs Rock at WM 28 could have been something to think about, but they never had much chemistry and what do you do? Let Rock loss in Miami? So that Match couldn't have happened that Year. Rock vs HHH probably would have been possible too. |
