And here's the one thing I don't get:
Rock left, and used his influence in the WWE to occasionally promote something. it's great that Rock has done what he's always wanted, even at the expense of something else, but it's wrong that he didn't just abandon - but he abused that star-power when giving nothing back.
This is complete and utter bulls***. There are few, if any, superstars that were willing (and did) put over younger talent the way Rock did. When HHH was trying to firmly established himself as one of the top in the business, who jobbed to him at the biggest PPV of the year? Rock. When Kurt Angle went on to win his first WWF/E Championship, who did he beat? Rock. Jericho needs his first World Title, who does he beat? Rock. Hell, a couple months later he beats him AGAIN at a PPV to go on and capture the Undisputed Title. Brock Lesnar is getting huge and they need someone well-established that can go toe-to-toe with him and lose CLEAN to make him look like a monster. Who does it? Rock. Rock jobbed 3 Wrestlemanias in a row for the sake of the business. Goldberg needs to take someone big down in his WWE debut. Who is it? Rock. Rock's final match of his career to this point? Jobbing cleanly alongside Mick Foley to Randy Orton, Batista, and Ric Flair, the first two becoming major players for the WWE and multi-time World Champs.
And now, you want to b**** about him coming back to promote a movie every now and then? This guy routinely put over new emerging talent for the sake of the business. Frankly, that was another thing that appealed The Rock to me, was that you never went into a match with The Rock knowing who would win.
