As I've said above it just pisses me off that a half dozen guys who should be in the main event aren't and then they bring Rock in who gets that gig without doing the graft and travel. Lame.
The other thing is that even from the perspective of being a fan of actual wrestling that match is likely to suck. Let's face it, John could sell everything beautifully, slap Rock in the surfboard, hit 2 enzugiri's and they'd still chant that he sucks because it's the Rock. Cena has nothing to win from this match. If he wins, he loses as he'll be unpopular for going over Rock. If he loses then his credibility is shot down even more than usual - i.e. he was never good enough to hang with Rock in the ring. Apart from big buyrates, a decent merch cut and the chance to say he's wrestled Rock I can't really see why John agreed to it :S
totally and utterly lame and frankly insulting to the guys who work hard each and every day for the company as well :(
Yeah I'm starting to dread the match - although part of me is really really really hoping its all an elaborate April Fool's joke and the Rock will fail to materialise or something. I know it won't happen but it would be better than John having to fight the match.
