I had a discussion with my peeps about this and many actually liked his comeback.
They thought his interactions were good and even called the first match with Cena "awesome"....ugh

I was of course on the other side, I think it was mediocre at best.
Great feud with Punk, meh feud with Cena and his Match quality fell all the way off though.

    I meant Nah, tgst punk and rock feud was top notch, and wrestlemania 2012 was the first time I watched wrestling in over a decade so I was happy to see he was still around

    didn't expect much anyway but the cena rock matches were chores to sit thru, punk match was good of course, I thought punk should have dropped the strap at no way out tho

    The mic work was good as usual.

    He put in good work in the ring.

    So, yeah, it was good I guess.

    Yeah
    I wasn't expecting him to have the same leeway to be able to say whatever he wanted like before.....I just wasn't all that entertained. He came off as corny as hell and I'm of the impression that Cena KILLED rock on the mic when they had their back and forth leading up to Wrestlemania. (That's the time period we're talking bout right?)

    And I hate Cena btw.

    I was talking about his whole return but for the most part yeah.

    I'm not the biggest Rock mark so I already thought dude was corny, cookie ? and fruity pebbles only solidified it for me.

    I think the feud with Punk was dope though, there wasn't any joking around, no silly kid ? involved, so I thought that part of his return was good but the Cena stuff was ugh.
    He should have never came back.

    I was thinking the same thing once the bell rang to end Wrestlemania 28 and he lost the title. After awhile though...I sort of just realized that his return after being gone so long was sort of refreshing in itself so I took that as a positive.

    I'm not disappointed at all. That run was ? and we all knew it, but with the 'E losing money (and fans) by the assload, Vince knew that Dwayne could generate some interest and cash for one or two PPVs with him as the #1 contender/champ.

    We all hated it cause it was part-time, but it was nice seeing dude in the ring again, especially since we know 70% of the roster ain't worth a ? . So, giving the Rock the strap (and having him intro the new, current belt) was a sound decision.

    I know the gimmick has been beaten dead since they have done it and are doing it now with The Miz, but I'd like to see how The Rock would fair with the Hollywood Heel gimmick again. He didn't have too many movies out at the time when that gimmick was used, but now that he had a resume, he may be able to draw real heat.

    Thats why The Rock is my fav. Fans would boo the ? out of him and he would turn around and make them laugh at themselves.

    I was disappointed becase I knew what was gonna happen from the jump. I was just hoping that Rock would beat Cena clean and Cena would turn heel then beat Rock but of course, that didnt happen and I was ? .

    Im disappointed but I shouldnt be because I knew what would happen.
