Wrestling Deals – WWE News, Deals and More

At the ‘Get Smart’ preview today, The Rock a.k.a “Dwayne Johnson” answered many questions from fans. One such fan was bold enough to ask The Rock whether or not if he will ever return to wrestling, and if he will go with his promise he did at the WWE hall of fame on whether or not he will face John Cena in a match…

The Sun got another opportunity to talk with WWE Superstar John Cena. Just like always, cena had a lot to say, especially regarding Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Cena said Johnson always wanted to be an actor and that he was the one who set the precedent of using professional wrestling as a stepping stone.

Cena was quoted saying, “…And Rock is one of those guy who gave the ‘I’ve wanted to do this all my life’ speech, but in actuality he wanted to be an actor. Now trust me, that is totally fine with me. It’s OK. But just don’t say one thing and do another. Because our fans are extremely loyal and when yo do that it pisses me off.”

Cena went on to say, “All of us work so hard to make the show as good as it can be. So it’s hard when people give the impression of ‘this is the greatest gig in the world’ and then jump ship to make movies. Now I have every interviewer in the world asking me when I’m leaving to make movies.”

And finally, “And the answer is I’m never doing that, because I love wrestling more than I do movies.” “It’s guys like that who set the precedent of using wrestling as a stepping stone to do films. But there’s no controversy to any of that—as Rock is a successful actor and that’s what he has always wanted to be.”

But the interview wasn’t just about The Rock, Cena also talked about his latest movie, the WWE-produced “12 Rounds”, Flair’s induction speech, the matches at WWE’s Judgment Day, and other things.
Cena spoke positively about John Morrison. “I’m actually quite interested in seeing The Miz and John Morrison in a high profile PPV match against Kane and CM Punk. I’ve never really been a fan of Morrison, but I always thought he had a lot of potential. I hope he understands the opportunity he’s getting and steps up to the plate.”

Several sources inside the WWE were surprised to hear reports of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being aloof backstage at the Hall of Fame. They thought he was just being his regular Dwayne Johnson self and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
Apparently there were only a couple people upset with Johnson, but they were, of course, the top people in the company. Most of the heat on The Rock has been attributed to either jealousy or not knowing that he had to leave immediately because he’s working on the Witch Mountain film.

The Rock talked to Mr McMahon before the show and talked about having some fun on the show and having a long monologue to open up the show as if he was the host of the show. The Rock told Vince that he would roast some of the guys in attendance and be self-deprecating. McMahon loved the idea and Rock apparently said that he was having a great time and would have gone for another hour if he could have.

If you remember Both The Rock’s and Flair’s speeches went long, but only Flair was told to ‘wrap it up.’

So maybe the whole this is just a mole hill after all.

As some of you may know, there is some serious friction between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and The WWE right now. Both the WWE’s management and even the top wrestlers. John Cena touched on the issue recently during an interview published in the UK Sun where he asked why Rock couldn’t attend more WWE events.

It seems The Rock has rejected many of The WWE’s invitations to events since he left the company and landed in Hollywood – and that doesn’t sit well with John Cena, Vince McMahon, Triple H or Steve Austin, just to name a few. Everyone feels that Rock should do more to “pay back” the company, and the fans that helped him become a star.

There are a number of people within the WWE who sympathize with Rock’s situation however. Since he has become a hot name in Hollywood, he could be advised to distance himself from pro wrestling. Now that the Rock makes a lot more money with movies than he did with wrestling, he would obviously want to do what takes care of his family best.

From The Texas Rattlesnake’s perspective however, he has said he wishes he was in the physical condition to continue wrestling. So it’s hard for him to understand why someone like Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t want to do more in wrestling. Austin’s lengthy list of injuries probably won’t allow him to wrestle another full-length match. Rock and Austin haven’t stayed in touch with each other over the last few years and there was reportedly some friction between the two at the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday night.

One source at the WWE mentioned Rock might be returning to the ring at WrestleMania 25, but said that the chances of it happening are pretty slim if for no other reason than his busy filming schedule.
