"For years" proof?

 

[BFIB]

Didn't Punk do that when he cut his promo before Money in the Bank?

 

[Kaladin]

I heard The Rock got it from his Mom because she used to write recipes on her arm while baking pie for The Rock.

 

[XenoRaven]

Little known fact: The Rock had promo notes posted on the walls and ceiling of whatever arena he was in that night. While the audience believed he was posing, he was actually looking at his promo notes off camera.

Oh it's true. It's true.

Seriously? Sounds fishy.

 

[funkystudent]

Rock is such a armature.


Cena just makes his promos something they can print on a shirt. Then for the next 6 months whatever t shirt/arm bands he wears is the basis for all his promos.


Cena makes his promo notes merch


"Rise above hate" got him through that entire Kane feud

Time for WrassleGAF detectives to search every single Rock video on YouTube for wrist notes.

I bet he hires people to carry around giant note cards on the set of movies so he doesn't constantly flub his lines too.

Remember when The Rock used to wear $1,000 shirts to do promos in?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb1l09d6J1o

Where did he write the notes then?

On the inside of his sunglasses. Obviously.

EDIT: Or maybe they're written in the ring in invisible ink and the sunglasses allow him to see the notes! It's brilliant!

(Can't watch video at work so I'm hoping he's wearing sunglasses in that video.)

I wonder what The Rock wrote down before his debut on his top ten list of the most humiliating things he could endure?

I don't remember Vince ever humiliating The Rock. This Is Your Life, maybe?

The rock is jobbing to John cena at mania.



That's pretty humiliating

 

[bean breath]

Did The Rock noticeably read off cue cards when he hosted SNL like so many actors that host tend to do?

 

[XenoRaven]

Here's my biggest issue. Maybe this has already been brought up. My friends keep saying it's real and that he "owned" the Rock and the Rock was really mad or whatever. Who REALLY cares if he has promo notes written down? Dude's got a history of some of the most entertaining promos in wrestling while Cena just rolls out and the last thing I remember is him talking about how he respects everyone's opinion before I fall asleep. Next thing you know he'll tell us all how the People's Elbow doesn't actually hurt and he could get up at any time before the Rock actually connects it.

I hope he counters The People's Elbow and seamlessly transitions to the Five Knuckle Shuffle.

The shittiest part about this whole thing is that even if Rock beats Cena, Cena will still be on next Raw smiling and talking about how he's still here and Rock is back in Hollywood and doesn't care blah, blah, blah, etc.

There's always hope it'll put him over the edge and make him blow up a hospital of orphans. All the while Michael Cole and King are dead silent.

Well unfortunately one of them doesn't shower sometimes.

I don't care what anyone says. ANYONE! Cena callin out the Rock for the crib notes was planned. Rock aint that stupid. Sorry try again.

Ring of Honor Newswire:

- “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare” Kevin Steen continues to disrupt our company in the ring as well as backstage. Steen has made calls and sent various e-mails petitioning for his next ROH T-Shirt to have the phrase “Jiu Jitsu J******” on it. Not only has he personally reached out to us on multiple occasions but so have many of his fans. Regardless of how many calls and e-mails we get, ROH will never endorse such distasteful merchandise.

https://www.rohwrestling.com/news/march-8th-newswire

This shirt must be made.

 

[TheNatural]

Saw this a few days ago, has it been posted on here?

Regarding the relationship between Dwayne Johnson and John Cena behind the scenes, while the two are cordial with each another, they are not the best of friends. There is genuine tension between both stars, which was said to have intensified in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series.

One former WWE insider who has worked with both Johnson and Cena said of their relationship: "They aren't buddy-buddy, that's for sure. I’ve heard they’ve disagreed about a lot of things. They aren’t big fans of one another personally, but they are willing to carry on with business."

Guys I totally just saw Shawn tell Bret to "Get the fuck out of my ring" after what should have been a classic match
What do you think is reeeeally going on?

Just trying to sell a PPV. Im sure they double-date all the time.

LOL

He should come out with B2 at WrestleMania.

I kind of wish it was true.

It'd be hilarious to have them pan around an arena, and you can see wrapped around the walls:

FIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLY... THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO [city]

 

[Chopper]

Holy shit. I can barely imagine the marking out in this thread if Rocky wins. I don't care how cynical you've become in your old age, you are marking the fuck out.

My hope is that Rock wins clean. Cena is so shook up that he just disappears. Cena is a no show. Ryder then comes in to let everyone know that Cena told him that he was shook up and humbled by the Rock and just needs a break from everything.

Cena isn't seen for months, smarks across all message boards rejoice.

Hopefully Cena takes the time off to work on his moves, add some stuff to his repertoire.

He comes back at Survivor Series as something reminiscent of that dominant Cena that debuted in the WWE. No more "Hustle Loyalty Respect". No more "Rise Above Hate". He comes back with the intent of reaching the levels of greatness of legends like Stone Cold, Bret Hart, and the man who beat him at Wrestlemania, The Rock.

[BoboBrazil]

Cena will never miss more than a week of tv. Watching that old Cena rap video, it makes me wish WWE wasn't PG anymore:/ Randy Orton is also a victim of TV-PG.

This sounds awesome and all, and I'd totally cheer for Cena then, but it won't happen. Sure, Punk is the new merchboy in town, but Cena's crap still sells. We still have a spinner belt.

Hell, they wouldn't even let Punk stay away for more than a week to build up some anticipation from his post-MitB exodus.

It simply won't happen, so you can stop hoping.

 

[Chopper]

Until the rematch. Which Rocky could conceivably win.

Quick vote. Raise a hand if you are absolutely convinced that John Cena will will clean, 5MOD and all.

*refuses to put up hand*

i mean... They're in Miami! If that happens, Cena is walking out a full fledged heel thanks to after-match shenanigans, surely. The crowd will fucking riot if he's got a grin on his face. Maybe that's why he's been playing up his smiling recently...

Now that works , that works for everybody involved!



SO ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!


good idea though

 

[Kaladin]

I don't know. After all the crap that Cena has given The Rock about not being there every week, it would be poetic justice if Cena doesn't show up after The Rock beats him at Mania.

 

[NoRéN]

Why don't you write for WWE?

I bet if we all got together, split the championships across small groups, we could all come up with awesome storylines leading up to Summerslam. Better than the stuff WWE creative has been coming up for sure.

I bet Vince reads forums and purposefully does the opposite of what fans want.

 

[Chopper]

I'm with you man. I think there's a chance Rocky can win. Those fans who boo Cena week in, week out deserve a huge payoff for once. I mean the writing team have dined on that fact for the past 6 months! Give us something.

Screw these marks who think Cena will overcome the odds and Hustle Loyalty and Respect all over The Rock's face.

 

[BreakyBoy]

I know that. You didn't have to be so mean, crushing all my hopes and dreams.

I know your pain.

The Rock's stint in the Nation of Domination is what got me back into wrestling as a teenager. Part of the reason I'm all excited about going to this Wrestlemania is because I'll be there for the unavoidably amazing pop that man is going to get when that bass kick hits.

He's nowhere near his prime, but I'm still going to cheer and flail around like a man-child when he's in the ring.

I'd love for this idea of yours to happen. I'd put money down that it won't, and I'd happily pay up if I was wrong.

Edit: Let me be clear. I think the odds of Rock winning are low, but not impossible, especially if they book a rematch for Summerslam or the next Wrestlemania. However, I don't see your whole idea of Cena disappearing happening. No way.

 

[Kaladin]

Speaking of merch sales. They could still sale Cena merch while he's gone. Think about it, Where's Cena? t-shirts, milk cartons, ect.

This is what we all said about Punk's exodus.

I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Here's what will happen. Rock and Cena are going back and forth in their match when out walks Miz to ringside. He's pissed because he didn't get a match at Mania. He either runs in causing a dq or distracts Rock and lets Cena get the aa and the pin. After the match Miz runs into the ring, starts fighting Cena only for Cena to come back and AA Miz. By this point Rock is back up on his feet and looking at Cena AA Miz looking like he is about to rock bottom Cena. Instead he picks up Miz, rock bottoms him, stares at Cena and then shakes his hand and hugs him putting him over and possibly setting up a rematch in the future since it ended due to Miz interference.
