How Social Media Made It Hard To Enjoy The Rock In WWE

  • The Rock-international superstar, national treasure, and proprietor of the world’s most emotive face-is back in WWE. But instead of celebrating the return of one of the sport’s most infamous legends, fans are livid. Like, they’re literally booing him out of arenas.
    This is an unexpected development because ostensibly, there is no place on earth where the Rock should be more welcome than within the confines of a professional wrestling ring, where he first cultivated his one-of-a-kind charisma, way back in the prehistory of America.
    Let's talk about it.

    This storyline could be fixed and made one of the best conclusions in the last 2 decades with just a few vital moves.
    1. The Rock causes chaos on the upcoming weekly shows and demands that Triple H address him in the ring to fix the mess he made then Tiple H comes out and announces that the Rock will have an opportunity to be at Wrestlemania with Roman, only as a special guest referee in the Cody vs Roman's match, thus pissing the Rock off but giving him a spot to be in the mix at least.
    2. The Rock ends up as the special guest referee and stirs the pot between Roman and Cody leading up to Mania so that they don't know whose side he's gonna be on at Mania as he threatens to officiate the match and gives us all the winner that HE wants since he's the one with all the power as the referee.
    3. On the night of Wrestlemania The Rock makes it look like he's being fair but then gives a fast count or ignores a rope break or something 15 or 20 or so minutes into the hard fought match to screw Roman so that Cody wins, but Cody acts surprised and reluctantly shakes Rock's hand afterward and celebrates his title win.
    4. The Rock and Roman have a stare down in the ring as Roman is in complete shock and as the Rock smirks and is leaving the ring, Roman gets the mic and challenges the Rock to a match immediately and the Rock agrees under the condition that it's a no disqualification match so that he has no way of using rules to squirm his way out of an ass whooping. (It would probably be best for Roman to win in this scenario with some help in order to set up for a rematch without Cody involved maybe at Summerslam.)
    5. During Cody's first promo as champ he admits that he had initially said that he wasn't gonna challenge Roman at Mania because he wanted to get in his head and surprise the fans with him and the Rock being in kahoots the whole time with the united goal of removing Roman as the tribal chief and helping Cody get the moment that he rightly deserved. So they both got something out of the deal and gave 'the people their dream back' PLUS we got to see both opponents that we wanted to Roman face get a piece all in 1 night! (If this turns Cody heel, so be it because it will help his reign, or people may actually simultaneously rejoice that Roman is finally no longer champ and that he got payback for the people he and The Bloodline screwed during his lengthy reign.
    7. Then Roman can go on a rage against Triple H, The Rock, Cody, and the fans for being in 'Conspiracy' against him out of jealousy and then say he's gonna 'punish' us all by taking some time off until we miss what was good for us.
    8. Later he'll come back for revenge leading up to the Rock returning for a rematch which ideally The Rock will win and maybe it will even be his retirement match so he goes out big as a face with the fans cheering him rather than as a heel.

    Rock Vs. Roman for the title of Tribal Chief should be a monumental moment at this year's WrestleMania; but, it's being overshadowed by people who want Cody to finish the story (not to mention I think a lot of fans want that belt to come off of Roman at this point). However, I can't help but think that none of this backlash would be happening, if they would've had Cody take the title off of Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

    Sorry to the Cody fanboys but Rock vs Roman is the better match simply because the bloodline supremacy is a better story than Cody Rhodes story. Because both Roman and Rocky are bigger stars than Dusty Rhodes and Cody. If there was somebdy in the Rhodes family who deserve to finish the story, that would be Dustin not Cody since Goldust was more over than Cody could ever think to be

    My confusion tbh is- many people have criticized and continued to criticize WWEs usage of stars from yester-year. The criticism of not building new stars, relying on past stars I.e Brock Lesnar, Edge, Stone Cold etc… The Rock is no different. So how can we criticize them for not creating new stars and new memories while also praising them for this one person who last we saw wrestle looked like s#it? The fans are invested in the story. Not a “moment” that could happen ANYTIME else.

    It almost comes across as what the Rock said during his interview with Pat MacAfee. Just telling people to shut up and enjoy the ride. We were made to feel like Cody's moment was being stolen from him. For all the praise people give the Attitude Era they miss the point what actually made it special. The Rock would never get the spotlight taken from him. Neither would Stone Cold. Now they are trying to keep the Rock in the story with him getting mad at Cody. Take away all the sexy women taking their clothes off and the men getting in brutal brawls and all of the edgy promo's in the Attitude Era and what you have left is just young stars getting made and being made to look like future stars. We've been told that the future is here and then in comes Brock Lesnar. Then Goldberg. Then Stone Cold gets one more match and wins. Then The Rock returns for the 5th time. It just undermines the current roster when all of the guys that had their moments come back for one more run.
