Cena in the Sun newspaper (Contains Raw spoiler)

D-FENS

I realise this is the Sun we're talking about, but what do you think of this?
Strong enough comment to make considering the two will more than likely be seeing each other at WM.
Anyone think it could actually be a work of some kind, leading up to a confrontation of some kind in or around WM (they'd hardly involve Rock in the title picture at WM, even if he up for it)

WRESTLING superstar John Cena has blasted ex-WWE champion The Rock for turning his back on the business.
Cena, who has managed to combine acting and grappling, feels Rocky has betrayed his fans by concentrating solely on Hollywood.
Rock will make a one-off appearance at this year's WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to induct his dad and granddad.
But Cena told us: "What I kind of get peeved about — and this is my Achilles heel — is that I've wanted to do this my whole life.
"At one point Rock loved wrestling and wanted to do this all his life.
"So explain to me why he can't come back. Simply put it's because he wants to be an actor and there's nothing wrong with that.
"He's very good and very successful. Associating with sports entertainment doesn't do much for his acting career — I get it.
"Just don't f*** me around and tell me that you love this. That's the only thing that gets me really p***ed off.
"Our fan base have so much admiration for him, he's got to respect that. He doesn't give anything back."

He is not even called The Rock anymore its Dwayne Johnson.

I would love to see John Cena V The Rock but i do think The Rock is done with wrestling and the WWE

i listened to the podcast interview with cena (wrestlecast), the only thing
worth noting was what he said about the rock. did anyone see dwayne at the oscars? why was he even there?

Otis Driftwood

That a$$hole is only bitching cos he is as popular as a cold sore.

Hes saying that if someone came and offered him millions of dollars to make movies and not get thrown around the place week in,week out he would refuse cos he loves the business????

Hmmmmm,maybe when he stars in something that doesnt go straight to dvd he can comment.

Twat.

Cena aint good enough to lace The Rocks boots nevermind talk smack about him.

is this the same guy who headlined the most successful wrestlemania in history last year (revenue wise) without HHH on the card, man shawn michaels sure is popular

of course cena would be off if an offer of millions of dollars to make movies came in, that is a given but at least from time to time he would bring up his past and ACKNOWLEDGE the WWE/pro wrestling and what it did for him and his career, Rock never even mentioned his past on the oscars sunday night, stacy keibler is the same, are these guys ashamed of their wrestling pasts i wonder

rock is a really nice guy in person, so down to earth when i saw him in person in new york in 2004 and i don't want to agree with cena on this but the more you read into it and look at what has happened...

Eire 4Ever

WWE made The Rock so he should be grateful of his past

The Rock >>>>>>>>>>>> John Cena

i was just a little surprised to see him presenting an award. most of the time
presenters are more established actors who have had some real success in the movie business.

i also think its a bit unfair to compare rock and cena especially their wrestling careers, rock entered the business at the right time, wrestling was more popular than ever in north america, nwo/WCW was huge, the WWF had austin, mcmahon, foley, taker, kane, DX, corporate ministry all flying high. On the flip side Cena carried the WWE basically on his own throughout 2006 and 2007 without much help from the likes of Lashley, khali, umaga, jbl etc

comparing Rock and Cena is like saying Ryan Giggs is a better footballer than Bryan Robson because he won more or Phil Neal is better than Steven Gerrard because he won far more leagues, different times, different eras, how big would Cena could have been during the Attitude era i wonder

Yes i was surprised also to see him at the Oscars but he is actor that makes good money at the box office

The Rock should remember that the WWE made his career who would know who he was until WWE same with Stacey Keibler

his last movie The Game Plan made 25 million dollars in its opening weeked thats pretty successful, he is quite a good actor, if its a choice between getting your body beaten up every night for a few million bucks a year or making movies that will set you up for life then hes right to make the move, doesnt mean he turned his back on the business he was just done with it, and he got out while he was young, injury free and still popular enough to make a name outside of wrestling, fair play to him i say, cant wait to see if he turns up at wrestlemania

There's no way Cena's comments aren't worked in some way. How or what, if anything it'll lead to I have no idea, but I'd put my money on some kinda confrontation on an upcoming RAW. Even five minutes of a taped segment with the Rock on RAW would be great, of all the top stars they've lost i the last decade, he's far and away the one thats most badly missed.

The interview was done before the Rumble, so Cena mightn't have known at the time that he'd be back so soon. If that's the case then it's probably not a work

I'm so cynical these days that I consider everything these guys do and say to be worked somehow!;)

at the time he did the nterview with the Sun he DID know he would be back - his interview in the Sun was part of the smokescreen the WWE put up about his return. Probably too early to be a work for a Rock segment though.

I remember her in her WCW days.

I'd rather have a five knuckle shuffle than a people's elbow.
Take that as you will.

The Game Plan,its out friday

EdK

The Gameplan is actually fairly good, just cuz Cena breaks his neck filming and wrestling at the same time it will catch up with him eventually lets see what he says then

Fozzy

Did anyone actually listen to this interview? I just did now and he's not nearly as scathing on the Rock as the article would lead you to believe and sort of misquotes him as well
