It seems so long ago but really it was only seven months ago Valentine's Day to be exact when The Rock made his triumphant return to the WWE universe after a seven-year absence. Back then, everyone seemed to be electrified by the great ones return and couldn't wait to see him host Wrestlemania 27. For the six weeks that followed until the big show the three-way feud between John Cena, The Rock and the The Miz was pretty entertaining even if The Great One was bringing it via satellite. It gave us such pop-culture fixtures and trending topics such as Yabba Dabba Bitch and Fruity Pebble took the Twitter verse by storm. But the fun soon once we learned the main event for Miami a year in advance something that had never been done in the industry before. And while this sold quite a few tickets for Wrestlemania 28 it did not come without its problems. Fan soon realized that the Brahma bull was not coming back full-time and their is where the problem begins. How can you have a two-way feud when one person is not there and how you make John Cena and his battles before Rock not seeming less important I think unfortunately on those two fronts does far they have failed. On the other side of the coin you can't have them interact too much because that lessens the importance of the showdown on April 1. So realistically they really painted themselves into a corner. Taking this a step further the greatest fights of all time have two dynamic personalities with a bitter rivalry that transcends the boundaries of the sport and if I'm being deeply honest this seems pretty one-sided. Say what you want about of the attendance record of the man known as Dwayne Johnson still draws you in unlike Cena who feels very whitewashed and one-dimensional by the current creative climate in the WWE. It feels like John brings a water pistol to a duel at the OK Corral. He just seems outmatched in all ways it doesn't seem fair. Last time, the People's champion entered a WWE ring it was to further cement the records of still fledgling superstars at the time Randy Orton and Batista at Wrestlemania 20, so what's the payoff for this? Because this tag team match at Survivor Series seems to be doing wonders for the Awesome Truth in their push. If Rock wins the big showdown it further proves that today's superstars don't compare to the previous era and if Cena wins then it hurts Rock's credibility in anything going forward and really damages him when it comes to his aura. Looking at this information I understand why a lot of people resent this feud… On paper there's quite a lot wrong with it but if you remember there was a lot wrong with Rock/ Hogan at Wrestlemania 18 as well but we all know how iconic that match was. So here's hoping something good will come out of the train wreck.
