WWE Assuming (For Now) There Will Be No Dwayne til 2015

[ML29]

It appears that at least for right now, WWE is going with the assumption that The Rock won't be back next year as a short-term character as he has been for the past three years.

According to information given to a major licensee this past week, they were told not to produce any merchandise involving The Rock. They were told he could be used as far as a group shot of Superstars goes but not to produce anything specific because he was not going to be featured until 2015.

This was taken as a sign that The Rock is not going to do WrestleMania XXX. We still don't know if Rock has said this or not to WWE officials. It could be that an assumption was made over the call to not merchandise him individually.

I think he should be a part of WM XXX, not necessarily to wrestle though. Maybe guest referee or something.

Really though, who else is there for him to wrestle at this point? There's no obvious opponent or dream match left. I'd be fine if he never wrestled again.

Hologram Andre vs. Rock via Satellite at WMXXX is still on.

Anybody want a peanut?

 

[jackswstd]

Good. He's outgrown this shyt anyway.

 

[StarClout]

He's on the cover of WWE2K15,

He'll be back in some form or fashion to help promote it

may be pretaped video or suprise appearance, but we'll see him again to promote the game

I don't even care about the rock anymore. I wouldn't mind seeing stone cold back in the E for a few months. Even if he not wrestling.

Good. Dude's comeback, while fun initially, ended up being a letdown. I don't want Dwayne coming back unless he's also bringing the sideburns, $500 shirts, and first person references.

Give that money to Stone GOAT dammit

Only thing left for Dwayne is to get his fukking head kicked in

 

[MenacingMonk]

GAWDy shouldn't even go back. He's done it all. Let WWE burn if the ratings go down.
