The Rock vs. John Cena at Wrestlemania 28

Last night just when I think the WWE could not do anything new, anything interesting and thought that they couldn’t grab anyone’s attention they did the unthinkable. At the end of Raw John Cena came out to call out The Rock. The Rock came out and the challenge was made. Cena challenged Rock to a match and The Rock accepted. However this match will not take place until Wrestlemania 28, a year from now. It’s fitting though that WWE has run out of ideas but pulled the one card they had left. I’ve never heard of a match being made one year in advanced so thank you WWE. This match in my mind will no doubt transcend the WWE like Hogan-Rock did. Look at these two, they are known by almost everyone.

The Rock started his WWE career in 1996 at Survivor Series and quickly made a name for himself. He won the Intercontinental Championship on multiple occasions, won the WWE Tag Team titles and obviously won the WWE Title. His decline in wrestling started in 2002 when he really started making movies. He’s been in quite a few movies but none of them have reached the levels that they should. The ones that stick out to me are Walking Tall, Faster, Rundown, Gridiron Gang and Scorpion King. I think one of the reasons he came back is he knows his movies haven’t reached the heights that they should have. The other reason The Rock agreed to this in my opinion is because Wrestlemania 28 is in Miami. Also do you think he wants people to remember his last match as he and Mick Foley vs. Evolution at Wrestlemania 20

Then there is John Cena, who came in right when The Rock was leaving. John Cena has taken the WWE by storm. Cena has won the U.S. title, Tag titles and is a multiple time WWE Champion. He has made a couple of movies, put out a rap album but the difference between he and The Rock is that Cena didn’t leave the company and forget about the fans. Cena is what Hogan and Austin was in the past. A lot of people dislike John Cena but that’s what makes him so great is because he embraces it. He loves the WWE and is completely passionate about it.

The Rock vs. John Cena on April 1st, 2012 will be a match that no one will ever forget. The torch will finally be passed to Cena like it should have been a long time ago. I applaud The Rock for coming back and making things right with the WWE fans. It will be interesting to see what happens with both men throughout the next year. The Rock obviously has a few movies coming out and John Cena will continue to wrestle and hopefully win back the WWE Championship.

It’s kind of hard to lose interest when you’re waiting for next year to come around. All I can say is Wrestlemania 28 will simply be electrifying and the millions and millions of fans cannot wait.
