  1. My fear, though, is that they book Cena strong every single week, and then he pulls out the win at Mania in front of a hostile Miami crowd. Unless it results in a heel turn, there's no payoff and Rock is made to look weak. If Rock looks weak, then his name is devalued and WWE loses because then they don't get the extra financial boost his name recognition provides.

    Yes, Survivor Series buyrates were lower than expected -- but you have to bear in mind, if that was a card billed as The Rock's in-ring return, imagine how much lower those buyrates would've been without Rock's involvement. Rock still has value as a box office draw, but WWE has to be careful not to devalue his name too much, especially at the expense of a guy who's already a name in his own right like John Cena.

    WWE can't be that stupid. Right?

    I still think the ideal thing to do would be to have The Rock win at Miami, and have Cena win the re-match. (Summerslam or next years WM)

  2. I can see that, and that's why I also believe that they'll almost certainly put Cena over and try to recreate that same moment when Hogan gave Rock his props and passed the torch.

    The problem is, I don't think fans will buy it -- at least not with the way this feud is shaping up. Hogan-Rock felt natural, save for the lame nWo attack on Rock in the ambulance. Rock-Cena feels 100% manufactured, right down to what both men are being told to say in their promos.

    More and more, I'm convinced that this build will let me down and the match will ultimately be a disappointment.

    I actually think they have The Rock win this match. Cena can't really have much of a moment if the crowd boos him out of the stadium. (which will happen because its in Rock's hometown)

    I see The Rock winning this match, and Cena winning the re-match. (whenever that is)

  3. I've always said that the Hogan/Rock WM matchup was the real catalyst behind Cena calling him out 2 or whatever it was years ago. Cena wants his own iconic moment.

    Except the build-up makes it seem like a totally different feud.

    I can really care less though. I'm just happy to see The Rock wrestle again.

  4. I haven't watched wrestling in a couple years now, but I'm going to start again, since The Rock was one of the reasons I started watching wrestling in the first place.

    The WM card looks pretty good so far. Its great to see Punk and Jericho in the championship match. I'm not sure who this Daniel Bryan guy is. He just doesn't strike me as a credible world champion. Hopefully they put Orton in the match to make it interesting.

  5. Watched Super 8 for the first time. The story, and kid actors just didn't interest me, but I decided to give it a watch because I love Kyle Chandler.

    Overall, I thought it was pretty good. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

  6. Am I the only one who thinks Battleship looks insanely bad? The same goes for 21 Jump Street. I can't STAND Ice Cube or Channing Tatum.

    Prometheus on the other hand looks awesome

    That weird.

    Channing Tatum seems like your kind of actor.wink.png

  7. Those who dislike Drive are the same people who expected a Fast 5, shoot 'em up action packed movie. You have to appreciate the acting, art, music and climax that this film had to offer. Let me guess, you didn't like it because he didn't take the money at the end?

    C'mon man.

    I haven't seen it yet.

  8. Really want to see that. Is it in English?

    Nope, but there are ENG subtitles. I highly recommend it if you can stand extreme violence. Probably the most disturbing and emotionally strong movie I've ever seen.

    But its one of those revenge movies, so its probably not in your alley.

  9. I liked the scenery and everything, but the way Paris was portrayed wasn't really an awe factor in my eyes. Europe in general has been shown in a dark light before, so that didn't really impress me much. You knew as soon as the girl was taken that Liam would kick [profanity deleted] and eventually get his daughter back without him being terribly hurt. It was just very straight forward.

    I've NEVER liked the Bourne movies, lol

    So you like the recent Adam Sandler movies, yet hate Taken??

    smh so hard, I might twist my neck...
