The Rock quietly retired

[puppetmaster]

The Rock could still make occasional appearances for WWE, but Hollywood's action superstar has hung up his wrestling boots for good.

Appearing on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Rock announced he had "quietly retired from wrestling" because he accomplished everything he wanted to in the squared circle.





Assuming The Rock doesn't have another match, his final bout was one for the history books. The future WWE Hall of Famer beat Erick Rowan in six seconds at WrestleMania 32, making it the shortest match in the event's storied history.

The Great One could be coming back to WWE television soon. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Ringside News' Felix Upton) reported the company is trying to get Rock to appear on the first Fox episode of SmackDown Live on Oct. 4.

It's not like Rock is lacking things to do in his post-wrestling career. The eight-time WWE champion is currently starring in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw that opened Friday and has the Jumanji sequel premiering Dec. 20.

I mean...obviously

Roman gonna follow in his footsteps too. Vince in shambles.

 

[HipHopStan]

I always forget about his match with Rowan.

No point risking your health when you got multi million dollar franchises to lead.

Rock should be the main inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame next year and either Stone Cold or Mick Foley should introduce him.

I mean, he had a run that no one saw coming with the Punk, Cena (and SS) matches. The fact he did that shyt when he was already a huge movie star is more than enough as a send off


The time he made an appearance in Miami coked out of his mind sonning the whole roster (specially Rusev ) was his best stuff of his latest comebacks though.

I kinda figured this was the case. And yeah, Rocky has nothing to prove now, he's a shoe in for Hall of Fame and a top 2 wrestler ever and a global icon. He has nothing left to prove.

The best thing is that Rock has managed to solidify himself in Hollywood so he doesn't need WWE. That's my GOAT

Rock fought rowan?

 

[NoMorePie]

He'll be back if he has the time to put over Roman.

He'll be back if he has the time to put over Roman.

He's the one that tried to kill him.

Well it was either him or alicia fox.
