I am lost for words. My mind is blown. Things like this are the reason I watch wrestling.

The "...home" line, the "you never left my side" line, "I am never ever going away"...perfect.

I am gonna go ahead and call that the greatest promo of all time, just for the significance of it. I've been waiting seven years for that, and I'm not the only one.

I really hope that, "John Cena, The Rock will see you at Wrestlemania" is not a sign that we won't see him again until Mania.

Rock's got a few movies in production, so, I wouldn't bet against only seeing him sparingly if at all until Wrestlemania

Just watching it again, can I just say how awesome it is that the commentators were completely quiet for the whole thing? They just let the moment speak for itself, which is far better than you would have expected. Cole is experienced enough to know what to do, but credit to Josh Matthews for not ruining it.

Its been mentioned a million times in the thread, but it seems like this has to be the heel turn for Cena, and I must say Bravo. Its the absolute perfect way to turn Cena. There is nothing that will get you more heel heat than feuding with The Rock, nothing.

i haven't watched a single wrestling event since probably 2005... i was flipping through channels last night during a commercial break from KU-KSU, and decided to watch the last 10 minutes of raw to see what dumb stuff was happening nowadays.

BOY. WAS. I. ****ING. WRONG!

that was so goddamn amazing, i am so happy i turned it on. marked harder than ever i think.

This is another reason why last night is awesome. Hearing that The Rock is back will get SOOOO many people tuning back in and watching WM. Global buyrate for WM26 was 885,000 - wouldn't be at all surprised if WM27 doubled that or more, PURELY because of Rocky's presence.

If anything, we should be delighted about that, because it's gonna make Vince even more inclined to break the ****ing bank to keep him around. If last night was the only time we see him on TV before WM I'll be very, very surprised.

To execute a heel turn for Cena, Rock is going to have to appear more than just at WM. So much hinges on him actually being around between now and then.

This was nothing out of the ordinary, by the way. Khali says totally incomprehensible things into the mic, and then his handler says, "The Great Khali says..." and "translates" what he said.

It always makes me laugh how the WWE presents every other language besides English as some sort of incomprehensible babble.

I remember when Kozlov first turned up, Jim Ross described him as "speaking a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian" - of all the dumb things that JR has ever said, and there are a lot, this has to take the biscuit.

Are supposed to believe that Kozlov has created his own personal Russian/Ukrainian creole? Who else actually understands this language? Did he create it purely to confuse the WWE viewership?

Or could it be that he is just a Ukrainian man (Ukrainian-American, even), but the WWE doesn't give its viewers credit for being able to tell the difference between Ukraine and Russia? Or that the WWE writers couldn't actually even be bothered to find out what the difference is between Russian and Ukrainian (for the record, small but significant, like Spanish and Portuguese)? Hmm, I wonder.

Okay, rant over...as a linguist these things tilt me.

maybe we could have a championship match be one of the headliners instead.

If The Rock wrestles, you can't possibly put a title match in as the final match of the night.

If The Rock is on Smackdown, I pray he has a confrontation with ADR

Just wanted to add that I, like everyone else, marked the **** out when Rock's music hit, and the entire promo was the best thing I've seen on TV in a long, long, long time. I want MOAR.

I know that HHH has been thrown around as a possibility as RAW GM. Here's hoping that's the case, and we get a HHH / Rock showdown for the fact that Rock dissed the GM last night. Count me among those that would love a Rock / Cena Mania match, but I'd also like a Rock / HHH confrontation, just for old times sake.

[x] confirmed awesome

def marked out like a 10 year old when he said "i am never ever going away," but that said...is there any word on whether he's gonna be around past WM?

this could be amazing if so

I wonder that too. Why would he say that? I guess it could just mean that he'll keep sporadically appearing over the years, but I hope we get him for longer.

like others said, if Cena/Rock is the plan with a Cena heel turn, there has to be more before WM

I wish Jim Ross was around for this, his reaction to Rock's return would have been icing on the cake
