Ever sinceAThe Rock's come back to WWE at the Royal Rumble in January, he has been the victim of negative press, and it's perhaps not his fault. Many full-time performers have gone on record to voice their displeasure over the WWE depending on part-time wrestlers such As The Great One. Even though he left WrestleMania 29 after the event concluded as a result of then-unknown harm and missed Monday Night Raw, heat continued to put down on him. But Rock doesn't deserve the negative press he's received. It's not his fault he was given a main event name run after not being with the business for many years. It's the WWE's fault. World Wrestling Entertainment is counting so hard on part-time men like Rock, Triple H, the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar to offer pay-per-views because they've proven they could offer. Any of these four men in a match, either on television or at a meeting like WrestleMania, is just a match that is planning to work. Even without being on television week out and week in, they can move back in the squared circle and put on the fans that are engaged by a five-star match. Several WWE wrestlers have voiced their thoughts about part-timers in today's WWE. Cody Rhodes told 106.7 The Lover DC: I enjoy the truth that Brock, and the Rock, and Jericho are here because theyare assured. Theyave confirmed that they can go in the ring. For WrestleMania this year, I do believe itas wonderful...Whoas a bigger star compared to the Rock? But next year, at WrestleMania 30, itas your own goala'and I understand Dolph (Ziggler) is the same way, Wade (Barrett) has become the same waya'that itas maybe not about getting everyone straight back. Let these guys go home. They did everything they possibly can, let them go home. Both CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler echoed Rhodes' statement. Wouldn't it be nice to see more of younger and full-time stars headlining shows? Sure. But when major events move around and these guys can not produce, what is the WWE to do? Vince McMahon and company aren't in the wrestling business, they are in the moneymaking business. More and bigger established names draw bigger numbers and thus make the company more money. John Cena getting on Rock, Hollywood movie star, is going to do more for the WWE in the short run than Dolph Ziggler facing someone else on the roster. The existing World champion is a superb supplier and athlete, but he doesn't have the exact same name recognition as Rock. Good or not, Ziggler won't be on daytime television or night time talk shows plugging the WWE. Could Rock be blamed for taking a big pay to appear on a few shows and carry the silver yet again? Probably the moaning from others on the list is motivated by jealousy and nothing more. By utilizing Rock, the WWE improved the buy prices for the events he appeared at. Wrestlezone.com noted that the 2013 Rumble drew 498,000 buys, up from 438,000 buys the previous year. Even though it was less than the 2008 event, which drew 575,000, acquisitions, this was still an improvement. For Elimination Chamber, buy rates were drawn 210,000 by the event. This, also, was a noticable difference from 2012, which drew 178,000. WrestleMania 29 get charges are not out yet. Even though some wrestling websites imagine the numbers will undoubtedly be low, the function did pull the greatest live entrance for just about any WWE show in its history. It received $12.3 milliona'also a Stadium recorda'and drew 80,676 supporters, the next most-attended WrestleMania, behind just WrestleMania III. Rockas rapid departure from WrestleMania 29 and failure to appear on Raw the next night continued the bad press and heat. According to PWInsider (h/t Wrestlinginc.com) a bit was dispelled by the heat on Rock when term leaked of his injury, although some still voiced their displeasure. Certain wrestlers backstage thought if they work hurt, so may Rock. But Rock doesn't deserve this temperature possibly, for exactly the same cause Rhodes, Punk and Ziggler were stressing about: He is a part-time wrestler. Want it or not, his biggest priority isn't arriving at the ring to cut a coupon but making sure he can still do his day job, that will be making million-dollar Hollywood pictures. Multiple H took his quad within a match in 2001. Inspite of the harm, he finished the attack. Stone experienced torn abductor and abdominal muscles all through his bout with Cena. In the place of preventing the match, it was finished by him. As Triple H did when he tore his quadriceps muscle within a match the bout was finished by him like a professional in quite similar manner. Should not Rock be suggested for his professionalism when it counted most? In the primary function of the largest show of the year, he experienced an unpleasant injury and still finished the bout with most in attendance unaware that such a thing was wrong. Mick Foley, hardcore story and the person known for hitting his body, took to Twitter to defend Rock. He wrote: Instead of launching on Raw the night after WrestleMania that Rock would not be there, and pulling a of boos, the WWE might have been sincere. They could have announced Rock's injury for people who did not know or don't follow him on Twitter. Rock has been nothing but a class act throughout his time with the WWE. He has done every thing the WWE requested of him and paid him to complete. He does not deserve some of the negative press he is received.
