The Road To The Road To Wrestlemania: Past vs Future

So it’s that time of year again. New stars about to rise, plenty of legends returning, and quiet rumbles about the streak. But as it stands, how exactly will Wrestlemania 29 turn out?

So the 800 pound Gorilla in the room. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. So Rocky is returning to Raw on Monday, presumably to try to screw CM Punk in his TLC rematch vs Ryback for the WWE Championship. While I am a big Rock fan, and was so happy to be able to see him wrestle live at last years ‘Mania, I can’t help but begin to wonder….why are you returning? Again. And why are you trying to take both the Championship and a main event ‘Mania spot from those who actually need and deserve it?

Look, lets not fall out over this Dwayne. You ARE the Brahma Bull. THE most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment. Who wouldn’t want to go one on one with the great one? Except, while your star may well shine on the likes of CM Punk & John Cena, lets face it, they don’t need you. They have success all their own. People would happily pay to see them wrestle without the allure of the “The People’s Champion”.

But what about Dolph Ziggler? Cody Rhodes? Kofi Kingston? They are the talent who need that one guy who can take them from superstar to future hall of famer. But with guys like you constantly returning, they are consistently pushed back down the ladder to make room for you. So, be a pal. Beat Punk at the Rumble, like we all know you will. Face Cena again at ‘Mania, like we all know you will. Then go home.

Wrestlemania 30 is for Rollins, Bryan, Barrett, Langston, Ziggler, Rhodes, Sandow, Cesaro & Kofi. Let the future shine.
