    Now, if only we had had him and 'Taker in the rumble, instead of Michael * Cole (can't even stand him as a commentator, let alone anything else) and 'the King' (far from it), perhaps the RR would've been good.

    As it is, I'll not be watching again until Wrestlemania, when they feel like bothering their *.

    taker returning at the rumble would have made no sense for the hhh storyline as for the rock what do you expect for a part timer

    The Rock has done everything that needs to be done in the wrestling business. Won titles, Royal Rumbles, various other awards and is now one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood. We should be privileged that he still knows where his roots are and still wants to come back to the ring, despite all of the success he's garnered making movies.

    I don't mean to offend you, as I obviously know you're a Cena fan, but he is just doing now what The Rock accomplished years ago and the industry as a whole was much bigger when The Rock was doing it.

    Rock was and still is a much bigger draw than Cena, mainly due to the fact that a lot of fans feel that Cena is shoved down our throats and because Rock was one of the two biggest guys in the most successful era in pro wrestling history, he'll always have that extra bit of respect from older fans. The man is a pure genius.

    I agree with Shane as well. I'm nearly 18 and still get excited when I see The Rock whereas Cena is just well Cena

    I don't think The Rock would mind one bit doing a full time WWE schedule again, but the thing is, he has so many movie commitments now to contend with and he obviously loves acting, as well as wrestling.

    If he could do them both simultaneously and please everybody, I'm sure he would. He's a great guy that comes from a huge family of talented wrestlers and I for one am privileged to watch him any time he does show up on Raw or at a PPV.

    WrestleMania this year is going to be one of the best ever. You can tell just by looking at the early, scheduled card. There's no way a match card with Rock/Cena, Punk/Jericho, Undertaker/HHH and the return of the MITB match can disappoint.

    I liked the rumble but I agree that it was awful to see 3 commentators take up spots that could have went to younger talent. Utter waste of time and the three of them just need to start taking a back seat and sticking to what they are there to do.

    A similar gripe was that Big Show managed to clear out about 5 of the top up-and-coming stars in about 2 minutes. Rhodes, Kofi, Dolph, Miz all gone in a minute because a guy who has been around for decades cleaned up. Coupled with this Wayne Barrett lasted about 5 minutes as well. Bit disappointing.

    But also glad to see Sheamus win. He has managed to get over with the crowd massively this year and I think he has a big future in the wwe.

    There is "strong talk" within WWE that Chris Jericho will only appear for the promotion through April or May before taking another hiatus to tour with Fozzy in the summer

    Regarding TNA, why is it failing so much? It's not really PG and it has a pretty decent roster and also Bischoff is surely filled with ideas.

    Has it missed the chance to be better than WWE?

    TNA in my opinion will never progress until they get out of the Impact Zone and until they get a second TV programme, they could also do with getting rid of people like Hogan, Flair and Steiner who bring very little to the company yet suck up so much money.

    Probably the best opinion I've seen on The Rocks return.

    Federal agents arrested 28 year old Yonjo Quiora this week for criminal infringement of copyright and are in the process of seizing his 16 domains that streamed content from entities such as WWE, TNA, UFC, NFL, NHL and NBA.

    Quiora had been streaming content from his home in Comstock Park, Michigan since February 2010 on several domains including Firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, sportswwe.tv, youwwe.com and others.

    An agent posed as a WWE employee and contacted Quiora about purchasing some of his associated domains. Quiora responded back and the feds tracked him down for the arrest.
