I KNOW I WAS LATE ON IT BUT I FINALLY BOUGHT THE ROCKS DVD SET A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. I WATCHED IN PIECES CAUSE I COULDN'T REALLY SIT DOWN AND WATCH ALL 3 DISCS IN ONE SITTING. BUT I REALLY ENJOYED THE DVD I THOUGHT THE MATCH CHOICES WERE VERY GOOD IT REALLY MAKES YOU REMINICE AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WWF/WWE AT THAT TIME. ALSO THE EXTRAS WITH THE ROCKS ONE-LINERS AND LITTLE PROMOS HE DID AT ALMOST EVERY SHOW WERE FUNNY. MY ONLY REAL ISSUE IS THAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE AN INTERVIEW PORTION OR ATLEAST LITTLE INTERVIEWS INBETWEEN THE MATCHES AND I CAN DO WITHOUT ALL THE BLURRINGS OF THE OLD WWF LOGOS, IS THAT REALLY NEEDED.....

BUT AFTER WATCHING IT I REMEMBERED HOW FUN IT WAS TO WATCH THE ROCK EVERY WEEK AND HOW MUCH HE IS MISSED RIGHT NOW. WHEN SOMEONE LEAVES T.V. FOR SO LONG YOU TEND TO FORGET HOW TALENTED THEY WERE, THE ROCK WAS SO NATURALLY ATHLETIC AND TALENTED THAT WATCHING HIM GAVE YOU CHILLS AND LISTENING TO HIM YOU REALIZE THAT TALKING TRASH AND TALKING ON THE MIC WAS JUST NATURAL FOR HIM, HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TRY. HIS MATCHES JUST FLOWED SO PERFECTLY, JUST LIKE ALL THE GREATS EVEN WHEN HE LOST IT WAS A GREAT MATCH AND HE MADE HIS OPPONENT LOOK BETTER....

I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE HIM AND RANDY ORTON IN A MATCH BECAUSE RANDY IS ALSO VERY ATHLETICALLY TALENTED. ALSO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO SEE A MATCH BETWEEN THE ROCK AND SHAWN MICHEALS SINCE SHAWN WAS EITHER INVOLVED WITH OTHER STORYLINES OR NOT WITH THE COMPANY WHEN THE ROCK STARTED TO HIT HIS STRIDE. OTHER GUYS THAT I THINK WOULD'VE HAD PRETTY GOOD MATCHES WITH THE ROCK ARE; JOHN CENA, BATISTA, EDGE, MR. KENNEDY, MVP, JEFF HARDY, CM PUNK, ELIJAH BURKE, AND BOBBY LASHLEY, THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHERS THAT I'M NOT THINKING OF BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT COME TO MIND RIGHT NOW. EVEN TRIPLE H OR THE UNDERTAKER, I KNOW HE BATTLED THEM BOTH BUT IMAGINE THE MATCHES THEY WOULD HAVE AT THIS POINT IN THEIR CAREERS.....

OK SO THATS THE PHYSICAL SIDE NOW THINK ABOUT THE VERBAL, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ROCKS TIME IN THE WWE THERE WAS NOBODY WHO COULD CHALLENGE HIM ON THE MIC. SO COULD YOU IMAGINE THE ROCK VERSUS JOHN CENA IN JUST TRASH TALK ESPECIALLY IF CENA WERE TO GO BACK TO THE BATTLE RAPPER STYLE. ALSO MVP AND MR. KENNEDY CLAIM TO HAVE THE "GIFT OF GAB" SO IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO WATCH THEM GO "ONE ON ONE WITH THE GREAT ONE". ALSO ORTON AND EDGE ARE PRETTY GOOD WITH THE MIC SO I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING THEM HAVE A VERBAL SPARRING MATCH WITH THE ROCK.....

I'M NOT TO SURE WHERE EXACTLY THE ROCK WOULD FIT IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE OF THE WWE, BUT IF GUYS LIKE TRIPLE H, THE UNDERTAKER, SHAWN MICHEALS, JBL AND HARDCORE HOLLY(DON'T SLEEP ON HOLLY) CAN STAY IN THE GAME THIS LONG AND STILL BE RELEVANT I'M SURE THERE'D BE A PLACE FOR THE ROCK AND I THINK THE SAME COULD BE SAID FOR STONE COLD. I KNOW THE ROCK HAS BEEN AWAY FOR A LONG TIME AND THE LAST TIME HE WAS ON TV FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN HIS BEST STUFF. BUT JUST IMAGINE HOW THE WWE WOULD BE IF THE ROCK WAS ON STEADY PROGRAMMING, I'M SURE IT'D STILL BE CLASSIC.....

NOW FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD SOME OF THE CURRENT SUPERSTARS WEREN'T TO HAPPY WITH THE ROCK DURING WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HALL OF FAME CEREMONY BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS HE MADE AND HIS ATTITUDE BACKSTAGE. I THINK MANY OF THEM FEEL THAT THE ROCK HAS KINDA FORGOTTEN WHERE HE CAME FROM, FORGOTTEN WHAT GAVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME WHO HE IS AND THAT HE THINKS THAT HE IS TO GOOD FOR THEM. I DON'T THINK HE'S FORGOTTEN BUT MORE LIKE HE'S KINDA TAKEN IT FOR GRANTED. THINKING THAT SINCE HE IS PART OF HOLLYWOOD NOW THAT MAYBE HE DOESN'T NEED THE WWE ANYMORE AND ALTHOUGH HE IS NOW KNOWN BY MORE PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN JUST WRESTLING IT IS STILL MAINLY THE WWE FANS THAT GO OUT AND WATCH HIS MOVIES AND BUY HIS DVDS BECAUSE HE IS STILL THE ROCK TO ALL OF US.....

WITH THAT ALL SAID I STILL LOVE THE ROCK, HE IS STILL ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE SUPERSTARS OF ALL TIME. HE HAD THE TOTAL PACKAGE AND WATCHING THE DVD REALLY PROVES HOW GREAT HE REALLY WAS. FOR SOME OF US OLDER GUYS (21 OR OLDER), I BELIEVE IT'LL REALLY REMIND ALL OF US WHAT MADE US FALL IN LOVE WITH WRESTLING IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THIS DVD SET IN YOUR COLLECTION I URGE YOU TO GO OUT AND BUY IT, IT IS ALL-IN-ALL A FUN SET TO WATCH....

THIS MAY BECOME A REACCURING THING FOR ME, SINCE I LIKE PROBABLY EVERYONEELSE HAVE PICKED UP MANY OF THE DVD SETS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING OUT. I HAVE THE HARDY SET, TRIPLE H, SHAWN MICHEALS, REY MYSTERIO AND I WILL BE GETTING THE RIC FLAIR AND STONE COLD SETS SOON. SO MAYBE I'LL WRITE ABOUT ONE OF THEM SOON. BUT FOR NOW I JUST REALLY FELT LIKE WRITING ABOUT THE ROCK.....

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE ROCK AND WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN I WOULD WELCOME THE FEEDBACK........
