Re: The Rock has been let go?
What does the title of a show have to do with it being rated #1 in America? And when did Vin Diesel become an A-List actor?
I watch wrestling intermittently, and I despise Stone Cold, but the Rock is entertaining, in small doses. I do agree that both acts have become extremely repetitive. There's a difference between character consistency and rote repetition, and both characters lean toward the latter. I actually think Rock is most effective when he speaks off the cuff, not when he's spouting some pre-prepared catch phrase. I think his mic skills are renowned for his ability to respond quickly and sound natural and at ease, as opposed to the forced, unintentionally comical stammering of most wrestlers(see:Chris Benoit). Again, I am excepting catch phrases, which I hate almost universally.

Entertainment to me is being able to wrestle and have personality. Rock and Austin did nothing for me and are 2 of my least favorite WWF guys ever. I would not watch them if they returned, no way.
I dont doubt that a bunch of Rocks and Austins would outdraw Benoits and Jerichos. No doubt about that. Most Americans are friggin stupid like that.
They fall for the catch phrases and good looks. Hell, Vin Deisel is an A-List actor and don't forget that a show called Desperate Housewives is the #1 show in America. Pathetic.
And I'm not Canadian, I'm from NY.
