It's one thing to be self-centered and egotistical WHILE you're showing up every night, working your ass off, and generally being among the best in-ring and on-mic in the entire company.
It's quite another thing to do it when you walked out on all the fans, made a bunch of crappy movies, came back and said "I'm never leaving again," and then left.
Outside of wrestling Shawn Michaels, I really don't see WHY The Rock needed to stick around all these years. He pretty much wrestled all the legends to pass through the WWF/E with a few exceptions. Hell, he faced Ric Flair for Christ Sakes. And considering how many wrestlers end up either A) pretty f***ed up from it via injuries, etc. or B) shells of their former selves parading around in an embarrassing fashion, I'd say I'd take what Rock is currently doing a million times more. Considering the fact that ten years after it already happened, we had to see HHH/Taker again at WM when both are broken shells of their former selfs.
And I don't see how The Rock "walked out" on fans. This has always seemed like bitterness over losing a great wrestler more than The Rock "turning" on the WWE. There's plenty of guys who have turned/walked out on the WWE. Rock's decision was not one of those.
And really, the "never leaving again thing" never made me feel like he meant he was going to be there every night. It just meant that the WWE was going to be a part of his life again.
