      I think Rock, Nick Khan, Ari, Triple H and Stephanie all conspired to get Vince booted out of WWE. Nick, Steph and H were the ones who leaked the Vince story to Wallstreet journal. They let Vince weasel his way back in only to sell it to Ari (Who is tight with Nick and The Rock). Once pen hit paper they booted Vince and put Rock on the Board.

      A great time to be a fan of wrestling in general. WCW was still a rival, there were fun wrestling games on PS1/N64 (No Mercy = GOAT), wrestlers got famous in a more organic way, and so forth.
      About a year or so after WCW died my interest in wrestling fizzled out. I think Rock vs Hogan was the last time I was truly into wrestling. Afterwards it became a thing where I'd check on it now and again just out of curiosity.

    So it’s not happening at Wrestlemania 40. He wants the long build. You also have to take in consideration that it might take him a year to get ring ready so he doesn’t injure himself and ruin any films he may be filming for. Maybe Wrestlemania 41. It could be a John Cena vs The Rock type build. Rock can prevent Bloodline interference and allows for Cody to beat Roman for the belt and Rock can raise Cody’s arm in victory. Rock and Roman can set up their dream match for Mania 41 the Raw or Smackdown after Mania.

That you know that you made it when your being booed. Its great that people outside of the knowledge of what goes behind the scenes know that The Rock is a genuine nice guy. A lot of people hate him but dont know that during his WWE career. He was very kind to his fellow wrestlers in the Locker room with some of them being bullies.

      @@weswith360syou didn’t get the point. Hogan is most definitely more iconic than Reigns but Reigns vs Rock is an entire piece of family history dating back to Roman’s birth. Storytelling at its finest.

    The Rock winning the title one more time and the family history of this match would be something we may not see again for decades. Because it takes that long to build. I’m watching again at 40 years old because of this potential match up.

      Although I love the Rock’s greatness, I honestly can’t see him as a champion again.
      Being a champion means the responsibility of being the face of the Company and being able to handle all the pressure and workload it brings, constantly wrestling to defend the title. And, even though Roman is not wrestling full time and still is champion, I don’t see Rock doing the same thing because all of his other commitments outside WWE. If he were to beat Roman for the championship assuming that’s the WWE’s go-to plan, he would be a transitional champion at best like he did with John Cena in the last Wrestlemania he fought.
      In my opinion, the best way to open and close the story is that Rock interferes in the Royal Rumble match where Roman will defend in the Fatal-4 Way, making him lose the championship. That way, the focus of the Mania match could be completely centered in their Samoan lineage, Head of the Table and best of the family.

      I honestly don't want to see Rock vs Roman Reigns at WM. It means that Roman will definitely win and will keep the title for another year. No one wants that result.

      Do they really need The Rock to win a World Championship when no Family has won more Championships than The The Maiavia-Johnson-Anoai Family? That doesn't even cover all The Regional Titles during The Wrestling Territory Era nor THe Championships Members of this Family have held outside of WWE. Oh did I mention there are Family Members working in other Professional Wrestling Promotions even as I type this?
