And to that point, if you BELIEVE Rock's argument that Cena is a phony, then I can totally grasp how you would think Rock is winning the war of words.
I just don't think he has a leg to stand on there, at all, but that's just my opinion.
Oh, kayfabe-wise, I believe it. Or at the very least I believe The Rock kayfabe-wise believes it. Obviously, everyone knows Cena is a hard-worker, but I'm working under the assumption that all of this is generally a worked-shoot at best and just another WWE storyline at worst.
But here's the things that The Rock nails from HIS point of view (and this is important here):
Rock is under no obligation to come back, but he chooses to come back for nothing else but the fans. Not the money, not anything else, but the fans.
Cena is contractually obligated to come to each and every show. He has no choice but to show up. And trying to use this as a justification for that he "cares more" falls flat because it's possible Cena wouldn't show up for every show if he wasn't contractually forced to.
Of course, the counter-point from Cena is this:
Rock wants to show love for the fans, he has to show up more and on a regular basis. Right now, it's half-assed because he doesn't show up every night.
I love the business and I would show up whether they pay me or not because I love wrestling and I love the fans.
See, this is why I'm so intrigued by the whole thing. I think BOTH sides bring up great points and I think they're both playing off of each other really well. Rock is attacking John Cena's entertainment value and whether or not he's authentic. Cena is coming back, attacking Rock's non-committal attitude while trumpeting his own.
That's why I like this so much, and honestly I like storylines where it feels like both sides are in the right.
