Going back to 2004, it was always bittersweet for me when The Rock “came back” because you knew it was temporary.
The viewership numbers for those segments are very interesting. Doing 4 million plus during the announcement of him hosting Wrestlemania & the vignettes next week doing more than 5 million. Those are the kind of numbers WWE would kill for nowadays.
There will never been another Rock
Conrad: "Lets talk about the Rock."
JR: Fires up a joint.
It's quite hilarious how Cena would rib Rock about going to Hollywood, and here he is doing Experian Boost commercials sitting on a cow, lol
Cena was also on top for 15+ years on a weekly basis 300+ days a year… and is now in his mid 40s. As compared to the rock who was only 29 when he left and really wasn’t in the business for that long at that point.
So not really the same situation
@@tristenblack9211 so the rock was able to accomplish everything faster than cena and move on 🤷♂️
I bet cena will be a big star like the rock one day

I had no idea J.R. was a smoker. I started watching in 98 so seeing him with a cigarette is really weird.
From his podcast and possibly his book he says he was a smoker and had quit after many years but looks like he's smoking again
He lives in Norman he’s probably toking it’s legal over there medically and he’s got cerebral palsy
@@johnlaurinaitis475 Smoking cigarettes dipshit
People forget his comeback in 2011 really helped project him back to bigtime fame. Before that he was known as a failed Disney actor from the tooth fairy and other sucky movies. Him coming back and the success of fast 5 simultaneously shot him up to be the megastar he is today.
He wasn’t a failed Disney actor he was a multimillionaire by the time 2011 came around he came back as a favor to Vince
Is JR blowing that Sooner Pack?!?
I think his return to WWE helped his movie career, which had become stagnant by the time. But his return catapulted him into one of the biggest movie stars in buisness.
This was a great storyline, it had a lot of real life elements to it and that translated through the tv set. Loved it as a fan.
been waiting for this
Just imagine how much trouble someone would be in during a regular show if they hit The Rock's music and he wasn't there.
Imagine if they hit Benoits music
Damn I missed out on this era and it was around when I started falling out of wresting as a kid. I also had a very serious family situation happen too, that took my mind away from it.
I had quite watching wwe having cenanuff. Rocks return got me back into it and what a moment it was.
Quit***
The rock got the hell own outta their at 29,a very good financial move
30....🤦♂️
Rock in about 6-7 yrs became the best in the biz in that small pocket of time. Not discounting Stone Cold at all. Cena was the standard bearer for upwards of 15 yrs in a "PG" era. In that time, Cena's had millions of matches. But wrestling the Rock put him over as an icon! Despite the results bc Rock matters that much to the biz. *See Rock-Hogan at Mania* No one should ever disrespect either man's path to success. Nor should anyone be mentioned with Rock other than Austin, Hogan, and Naitch when it came to drawing. I'm talking over 1 mil ppv buys as the headliner. I'm not talking 18K at TD Garden on free TV on a Monday night. HBK despite all his in ring greatness he didn't draw. Same with Brett.
still the most excited I've been watching wrestling, every week of raw became a must see because of the rock/cena feud.
I give me a tear in my eve as well seeing The Rock returned in 2011 after 7 years. I never forget the crowd reaction in Anaheim on Raw when saw him Returned live in person after 7 years. It was the loudest crowd reaction at the time for while.
Unlike others I never took personal when Rock wasnt there every week when Cena criticized him for saying he was never going away and claims he was lying to his fans. No I knew Rock was only going to be there on occasions like Stone Cold and other legends have done. It just means Rock was going to be more involved from time to time when he can. Hes been doing it since.
At age 39 after watching him all my life I’ve seen Jim Ross smoke that’s like finding out Santa clause isn’t real but 30 years too late
Rock’s return got me into it again. Not CM Punk’s pipe bomb.
I wouldn't think burying a company would bring in views anyhow
Rock's return got me back in too but the Summer of Punk kept me in it while waiting for WM28.
CM whiner turned me off wrestling
I used 2 love how JR used 2 talk really fast at the end of every Roar.
Jim Ross, WHO I SMOKEEEEEEEEEEE... Fresh packed of WWE
It's so funny when JR gets grumpy 😂
Best wrestling day ever
Tfw you were a kid and you thought the rocks name was actually Rocky Mavia
i got his first action figure ever put out as rocky mavia, tassles n all
@@thekosmokramer nice that's cool
@@Scurge237 even had a JR figure
When they announced rock vs cena after wm 27. I was excited for a year for wm 28 to see that match. Wm 28 is the 2nd best wm behind wm 17.
The event had 3 GOOD matches.
Rock vs Cena (although it probably went 8 mins too long)
Taker vs HHH (best match on card)
Y2J vs Punk (very good match but lacked crowd involvement).
2nd best? Hardly..
I like to see the Rock wrestler triple H at wrestlemania one more wrestling match in wrestling
JR watched the Eddie Griffin show?? I didn’t know I could like this guy any more
That rematch was the dumbest thing ever after naming the first WM “once in a lifetime”. And then boom, very next WM a rematch. But they had to give Cena a win. Even it out.
Finally!!!
Goddamnit pal, give JR a Jarrett push
It was bitter/sweet. I loved seeing him again, but it murdered CM Punk's run.
Yeah that was bad booking. Rock/Cena/Punk triple threat at WM29 would have been fire. That's where I honestly felt it was all building towards. Cena could've pinned Rock to end their feud while keeping Punk looking strong. He could've still been counting days as the real champion right now lol
Punk was and is shit
@@stuart3753 Punk was better in MMA tbh
@@ricardosd12 Punk got absolutely embarrassed in MMA. Nate Diaz verbally ripped him to shreds. Punk isn't talented
@@ricardosd12 He was the worst MMA fighter of all time
I know it’s not my business, but I am SHOCKED to see Jim Ross still smoking, after all his bouts with Bell’s Palsy and cancer! Plus, Jim should want to protect his voice for as long as he can, and cigarettes are not the way to do it! Out of love and concern, please stop smoking, JR!!!
Just shows Wrestling can do number, Vince just can't make superstars anymore, not like they did back in the day.
Wwe between 2008 and 2012 the lack of star power on the roster was at it worst since 1994, we had Cena vs Orton that we seen a million times and the miz . The Rock gave the fans something to look forward too and Punk breaking through the glass ceiling was desperately needed
As much as Rock coming back Screwed my man Phill brooks in the booking aspect and career wise. It was great to see him back doing what I grew up watching him do before he was acting
Career wise? Give me a break...
Career wise? Give me a break...
Not all of these are "shoots". The word shoots can be changed to explained or explains.
You need to really understand the meaning of a shoot
How about a "JR shoots on Cena being Xi's paid lackey"
It must get boring being offended all The time.
@@sobbyhasselhoff Cena made himself look pathetic AF by grovelling to China while he's promoting a movie where he's playing a bad-as. The irony of a very rich, very muscular man grovelling for China's money is both pathetic and funny in its irony.
PS what a hero you are, standing up for the CCP. You totally destroyed OP with your extremely witty retort!
@@chunnil4898 when did I mention China?
@@sobbyhasselhoff read the OP's post, read your response to him. think! you can do it! i believe in you!
did you know, that you don't have to explicitly mention something by name to still be talking about that thing! live and learn!
@@chunnil4898 so, the answer is I didn't.
Also, when did I mention cena?
My comment was aimed at the person who is in such need to show they're offened, they bring up something that's completely irrelevant to the subject matter of the video.
You also proved my point.
You immediately started crying to me,
When in no way could it even be interpreted that I was talking about China or cena.
WHEN WRESTLERS MAKE SAY $8MILLION FROM WRESTLE MANIA APPEARANCE PLUS PPV BUYS DO THEY GET TAXED 40% ON THAT
I had stopped watching WWE for years, so hearing that it was John Cena vs. The Miz in the main event is hilarious. 😄
I stopped watching because I got tired of Vince's son-in-law going over.
Hey Jim Ross lets talk about how the Elite always getting butthurt.com at your comments. Let's stay current on the shoot stuff. Stick with AEW backstage heat
Who cares about eaw
@@stuart3753 Na that's his employer he should only talk about that crap product
Conrad do u hold emotions? 😆
Trump had nothing to do with the big 💵 in Detroit. C'mon.
Talk about a through away line. Your slip is showing bubba.
Cena was right about The Rock and exposed him.
He was a better in that time people were blinded by the past rock wasn’t that great when he came back
Who in the blue hell is John Cena
@@KnucklesWTDcena wouldn’t have survived attitude era; Rock made his name there!!
@@comedianhaze1619 Austin himself said the opposite.
Punk should’ve main evented versus the rock instead of cena
No he should not have. That’s stupid
At WM 29, yes! But, no way at WM 28!
@@kingme1931 Why
29, sure. 28? Absolutely not.
@@kareemkhederoo4092 yes that’s what I meant should’ve clarified but oh well
His return was mediocre
Right . That first promo was good then it was crap
