The Rock To Take on John Cena at Wrestlemania?

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm back with another, and probably useless, rumor. 

Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI)—you know, that magazine we all read in elementary school that was packed with "so-called" insider information—is reporting that World Wrestling Entertainment is trying to secure a Rock versus John Cena Main Event at Wrestlemania.

I highly, highly, let me say it one more time, highly doubt this even has a chance of happening. 

The Rock, now known by his legal name Dwayne Johnson, has expressed zero interest in wrestling ever again.

Though I believe he could be a fantastic actor, his choices for roles absolutely boggle the mind.  If he keeps choosing roles like Game Plan and The Tooth Fairy, a return to the ring probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

However, I'm going to play devil's advocate here and pretend that this rumor will turn out to be true.

Let's say the WWE manages to convince The Rock to come back for one night and wrestle John Cena.

This would be a horrible no-win situation.

First off, The Rock wouldn't need to put Cena over, since, well, he's over.  I also don't think The Rock would come back to Wrestlemania just to lose.

So that would mean he'd have to beat the Champ.  That is assuming Cena will still be the champ by that time, and if the WWE stays as predictable as they've been for the past decade or so, it's a good bet Cena will be going to Wrestlemania with the gold intact.

So if the Rock wouldn't come back just to lose, that means the Champ would have to lose.

However, as much as I'd love to see The Rock come back and whoop Cena, what does that say about the WWE?

A guy who hasn't wrestled in several years and has lost a good amount of the bulk he had when he did wrestle comes back and beats the best the WWE has to offer.

Sure, pro wrestling is staged and outcomes predetermined, but that just makes the whole company look bad if that were to happen.

Not to mention, there isn't anything between Cena and The Rock.  Cena was still a nobody when Dwayne left for the green pastures of Hollywood. 

I will give credit to PWI, they are hyping up the rumor by claiming Cena has been jealous of the Rock's previous success in wrestling and in acting.  Still, nothing there to draw The Rock back to the squared circle.

I guess the WWE could have the match end with someone like Orton running in and having The Rock and Cena team up and ending the match in a draw, but if I'm paying the 55 dollars for Wrestlemania, I'd be pissed if that's how they ended the main event.

If by some act of the Almighty, The Rock were to come back for one night, I'd have him have one last match with Triple H. 

Now, those two have a long history together—and outside of feuding with Austin—I dare say, Hunter brought out the best in The Rock.

So in the end, I think this rumor is absolute hog wash, but one can only dream that the People's Champ would return home, even if it is only for one night.
