    I wouldn't have announced a year in advance. There was no way it could have lived up to all the hype it got and the year long build up.

    hate to say it but i think that was something that could have worked back in the attitude era as far as a year long build up..there was so much more back then that could have supported it. in this case,there was nothing to hold people off until then. every time you saw cena, you thought of the match with the rock. everything else in the time between was boring and with the rock not being there except for a few appearances and that whole last month it just wasnt done right

    the build up was weak. it seemed like they wouldnt even let the rock be himself. he rarely used his catch phrases, he didnt even raise his eyebrow. he was rarely talking in third person

    it also seemed like wwe wanted cena to have the upper hand in his promos with the rock. the rock coulda easily roasted cena in their promos based on the ? he said. ? even i coulda done it. cena criticized rock for making movies when john cena himself has starred in three, and he knows if they werent box office bombs he woulda left the wwe too . everything cena is doing now the rock has already done, and in his own words "the rock has already done it better". that line right there could've ethered cena's soul. there's no comeback for it because its the truth

    When Cena did Thuganomics and Rock had his concert, they should've done it the Raw before Wrestlemania. The talk that they had the Raw before was so awful.
