Why Rock vs. Cena 2 Makes No Sense

!rock-cena-642-1

While nothing has been confirmed, all signs point to John Cena vs. The Rock 2. The match simply makes no sense. It was almost two years ago, the WWE made a bold move. They booked these two men in a WrestleMania match with a full years notice. Anything could have happened and the match might have been scrapped in a second for a number of reasons. That wasn’t the case and the two headlined Wrestlemania in what was billed as “Once in a Lifetime.”

Looking at that title attached, it doesn’t hold much merit anymore. “Once in a Lifetime 2” doesn’t sound right, so why even call the match that? It makes the first meeting and yearlong buildup seem pointless if a rematch was going to taking place.

With such huge drawing names as The Rock and Cena, there’s no need to have them fight once again. With The Rock competing only a few times in the last decade, he should be fighting a fresh face. Still with a long future, Cena can fight anyone at WrestleMania. He’s the poster boy for the WWE and to compete with him on the grandest stage would be great to further the career of an up and comer, looking to solidify their career as a main eventer.

The first encounter between the two was far from a classic. It was just two different generations competing. They were a far cry from Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker encounters. Those two stole the show each time. The Rock and Cena was simply a basic match with no moments that stood out. The buildup was far more interesting than the 20 plus minutes of action that took place in the ring.

 

Let’s remember, the rematch hasn’t been confirmed so maybe many are jumping to conclusions. What the WWE needs, is to have CM Punk and The Rock meet in a rematch at Wrestlemania. That’s what the fans want to see.

Their encounter at the Royal Rumble, while not a great match, had the crowd’s attention. While the fans in attendance seemed exhausted after the Royal Rumble match, there were plenty of Rock and CM Punk chants. The crowded seemed split and dare I say in favor of CM Punk.

The only reason I want to see a Rock-Cena rematch is because The Rock shouldn’t have won last year. He’s never around and comes when he can squeeze it into his movie schedule. He should have at least done the job to Cena. I guess that’s the point of this year’s WrestleMania, as Cena will get his revenge. Which leads to another question, is Rock vs. Cena 3 already being talked about?

    NOBODY wants Cena to get the torch. Imagine if he did. Think of how unbearable and over hyped he has been in the last 8 years already.

      By nobody you mean internet fans (I am not a Cena Fan) however when Rock pinned Hogan, he didn’t needit either but that is the way is done…Cena is the FACE of the company you like it or not

  • CMmox

    NOPE.

    This article is pure bullshit, written by some typical IWC ignoramus. The fact is, this business is about making money, get over it. If Rock Cena 2 draws money, it WILL take place. Nobody would piss their pants over “Once in a lifetime”, besides, “once in a lifetime” might as well be taken into a different context similar to “the end of an era”. They bumped the MSG 10 year tradition for good reason, money it is.

    I don’t mind Rock vs Cena 2 because of the scenario and I am beginning to dislike cena (being an ex cena fan) he is getting in the way of new talent (e.g. eliminating Ryback) whilst wrestlers like Wade Barrett lose to NXT up and comers

    My issue with the rock vs cena 2 is that if cena wins the WWE title it would probably lose its prestigiousness since not many people would want to see him as champion again

  • The Troll Hunter

    Great, cena vs rock for the wwe championship…cena beats rock @ WM & wins the title for another pointless title run. YAY (sarcasm)

  • YM5

    obviously if Taker won the strap he would wrestle at LEAST once a month but I agree with your point

    • CMmox

      For various reason I don’t think he would win the title in first place.

      • YM5

        of course not I’m just saying

        • CMmox

          OK

  • YM5

    thats like saying a retarded dog is better than a dead dog
